Underground detention and surface ponds are both methods of stormwater management that can help to mitigate the negative impacts of urbanization on natural hydrology. However, underground detention systems have several advantages over surface ponds that make them a more desirable option in many cases.

Therefore, Texas Runoff Solutions offers modular box underground detention systems, due to their advantages in space efficiency, versatility, durability, easy installation, low maintenance, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetics.

Cost Effective

Modular box underground detention systems can be cost-effective, as they require less excavation and labor compared to traditional detention methods, such as ponds or swales.

Space Efficiency

Modular box underground detention systems are designed to maximize the use of space, allowing for a higher storage capacity in a smaller footprint. This can be particularly beneficial in urban areas where space is limited.

Easy Installation

Modular box underground detention systems are prefabricated and delivered to the site ready for installation, which can reduce the time and cost associated with on-site fabrication.

Versatility

Modular box underground detention systems can be customized to fit a variety of site conditions and project requirements, including different shapes, sizes, and depths.

Durability

Modular box underground detention systems are typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic, which is durable and resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical damage.

Low Maintenance

Modular box underground detention systems require minimal maintenance, as they have few moving parts and require no electrical or mechanical components.

Aesthetics

Modular box underground detention systems are hidden underground and do not impact the visual appearance of the site. This can be particularly beneficial in areas where aesthetics are important, such as commercial or residential developments.

Overall, the advantages of modular box underground detention systems make them a popular choice for stormwater management. Their space efficiency, versatility, durability, easy installation, low maintenance, cost-effectiveness, and aesthetics make them a practical and effective solution for managing stormwater in a variety of settings.
