STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Stormwater management has become a critical element in new, modern construction and retrofits to control runoff from increasingly large areas of impervious surfaces and aging stormwater infrastructures. The ability to not only mitigate water runoff but to collect and reuse it has become a vital step towards sustainability and water conservation.

Who We Are

Rainwater Management Solutions (RMS) works with Advanced Drainage Systems (ADS) to provide effective and innovative stormwater management systems to commercial and industrial applications. Together, we're able to provide sustainable, high-quality systems for stormwater and rainwater management by combining knowledge and experience of each company has acquired in their respective industries. We strive to continuously reinvent the wheel, making water reuse reliable, low-maintenance, and accessible via a system that decreases your ecological footprint while also benefiting you economically.

Capturing Stormwater is Good for the Environment & Public Health

Normally, rainwater is easily absorbed into the ground, is naturally filtered, and ultimately helps to replenish our store of freshwater in aquifers. Urbanization has led to an increase in impervious surfaces (like concrete, buildings, etc), making it impossible for rainwater to penetrate into the ground like it normally would, increasing stormwater runoff.

Rainfall ultimately runs off of roads, rooftops, and other structures that are polluted with pathogens, gasoline, pesticides, and other hazardous toxins. This contaminated water ends up in our waterways, negatively impacting entire ecosystems and posing risks to public health. Capturing and reusing stormwater and rainwater helps to alleviate these problems, adding balance back into the ecosystem and enhancing the overall quality of our waters.

RMS Helps you Meet Regulatory Guidelines

Managing Stormwater can help meet regulatory guidelines by utilizing the following methods:

• Volume Reduction by retaining stormwater onsite.
• Rate Control by slowing water discharge to the drainage system, mitigating flooding and erosion.
• Water Quality by applying pre-treatment to address contaminants of concern (i.e. filtration for gross solids, phosphorous, metals and oil/grease).

Reducing the capacity and size of onsite detention measures

Collecting Stormwater is an Economical Source of Water

The best thing about rainfall is that it’s a 100% free source of water, so anytime municipal water is replaced with collected stormwater and or rainwater there’s a value of savings. RMS can provide ROI’s for homeowners and businesses that want to collect and reuse stormwater and rainwater to offset municipal water usage and possible stormwater fees.

Taking Action Shows you’re Socially Responsible

Effectively and efficiently collecting and reusing stormwater and rainwater is an easy way to show people that you care about preserving the environment and human health. In contrast to common corporate greenwashing initiatives, collecting and reusing this free resource is a way to actually make an impact on your local ecosystem.

Bay Separator Stormwater Separator

• Efficiently and effectively treat stormwater by separating debris and trapping pollutants before they enter the waterways
• Efficiently and effectively treat stormwater by separating debris and trapping pollutants before they enter the waterways.The BaySeparator is a unique hydrodynamic storm water treatment device that is an ideal solution for debris and pollutant trapping.The BaySeparator consists of two standard precast manholes and the BaySeparator unit. The two manholes allow for the removal and storage of pollutants, while the BaySeparator directs the flow of water to provide the most efficient treatment possible. Standard manhole units are available in 4-foot (1.22 m), 5-foot (1.52 m), 6-foot (1.83 m) and 10-foot (3.05 m) diameters, 5-foot (1.52 m), 6-foot (1.83 m) and 10-foot (3.05 m) diameters, however the primary and storage manholes may be tailored to suit any specific site conditions necessary.
• Removal of TSS, trash, oils, and hydrocarbons
• Dual manhole design limits re-suspension
• High bypass flow rates
• Short lead times

Barracuda™ Stormwater Separator

Protect water quality and remove total suspended solids.The Barracuda is market-changing, stormwater quality technology. A high-performance, vortex hydrodynamic separator, the Barracuda removes total suspended solids (TSS). KEY FEATURES:

• Single manhole design
• No elevation loss between the inlet and outlet
• Flexible inlet/outlet positions (not just 180 degree orientation)
• Internal bypass for inline installation (where applicable)
• Internal bypass for inline installation (where applicable)
• Revolutionary, patent-pending “teeth” mitigate turbulence in the sump area to prevent resuspension of captured contaminants.
• Easy maintenance using a vacuum truck or similar equipment.
• Surface inspection and maintenance with no confined space entry
