All Cultec storm water chambers are now modeled in Boss Intl.’s StormNET software, including the new Recharger 330XL.
Cultec models were added to the software in response to inquiries from engineers, consulting firms and municipalities who use the company’s chambers to solve their storm water management and septic leachfield needs.
StormNET is a hydrodynamic modeling package that helps analyze and design urban storm water, wastewater and combined sewer systems. It can handle a variety of complex flow situations such as looped networks, interconnected ponds and pumps. In addition, StormNET can model all aspects of storm water quality/quantity and incorporates best management practices (BMPs) such as Cultec systems. The inclusion of BMPs is critical because water quality modeling is often required as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting process.
“We received many inquiries from our customers who use Cultec products in their storm water management plans and wanted to see the company’s chambers incorporated into StormNET,” said Chris Maeder, senior technical engineer for Boss Intl. “We have included all of their storage products to make more options available to our users, and the feedback has been very positive. With our software, CULTEC customers are able to do their calculations and specifications faster and more efficiently.”
StormNET users can work with all Cultec models, including the Contactor and Recharger series. The Contactor is a lower-profile, lower-capacity chamber used primarily for managing storm water for installations with stringent depth restrictions. The Recharger series is high-profile, high-capacity chambers that can be used for retention, detention, recharging or controlling the flow of onsite storm water runoff.
