Companies Partner on Storm Water Chamber Design

Prinsco Inc. and Lane Enterprises announced the launch of two new storm water chamber lines built from the same, engineered design. The companies have leveraged a combined 120 years of engineering and manufacturing experience in the water management industry to co-develop a new high performance, injection molded chamber design for the civil commercial construction market. The partnership has resulted in new chamber options for civil engineers looking for storm water storage and retention products engineered to meet or exceed ASTM F2418.

Each company will offer two chamber sizes under their own brands. Prinsco will sell the HydroStor line and Lane will sell the StormKeeper line. The larger chamber will store 180 cu ft of storm water per chamber, or 25 cu ft per linear ft and is designed for high-volume projects. The smaller chamber will store 75 cu ft of storm water per chamber, or 11 cu ft per linear ft and is designed for projects with limited burial depths.

These chambers are being made from polypropylene using the industry’s most advanced manufacturing process available:  state-of-the-art injection molding. The team chose this method because of its ability to provide uniform, precise material placement. That precision contributes to an extreme level of structural integrity and arch stiffness.

“The mold for the large chamber is over 5 ft tall and 180,000 lb,” said Lane’s Product Development Director, Kevin Miller. “Yet even with its massive size, we can control material distribution and consistency to a very high level in order to ensure maximum quality and product performance. That makes our considerable investment in injection molding technology well worth it.”

“We’ve engineered these chamber lines to meet or exceed ASTM design standards and be the highest performing chambers on the market today,” said Prinsco’s Director of Engineering, Carl Douglass. “We’ve also designed in value added extras such as integrated handles to make them easier to handle on the jobsite. We think it’s our high performance standards and attention to design detail that will make StormKeeper and HydroStor chambers the products of choice for civil engineers and contractors alike.”

The achievement of these advanced features was made possible by the combined, collaborative efforts of Prinsco’s and Lane’s product development teams.

StormKeeper and HydroStor chambers are ideal for large civil commercial construction projects with storm water retention, detention and conveyance needs, and any project looking to maximize underground water management systems.
