Introduction

1.1 Introduction
The HydroStor chamber system was developed to provide an alternative storm water management
system for design professionals, which provides a more efficient means of managing stormwater
runoff from developed land. The applications for the HydroStor system include commercial,
residential, industrial, highway, and agricultural drainage. HydroStor chambers deliver a lower
cost solution by providing excellent stormwater management with the ability to tailor the solution
to site requirements.
The HydroStor system has been designed and manufactured to exceed the requirements of the
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. The injection molded structures
provide the most cost effective, structurally superior chambers for the underground stormwater
management market.
1.2 Product Design
HydroStor chambers are designed to meet the requirements of Section 12.12 of the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Load and Resistance Factor
Design (LRFD) Bridge Design Specifications. The chambers are injection molded and manufactured
to meet the requirements of ASTM F2418 Standard Specification for Polypropylene (PP) Corrugated
Wall Stormwater Collection Chambers. Additionally, HydroStor chambers are designed in
accordance with ASTM F2787 Standard Practice for Structural Design of Thermoplastic Corrugated
Wall Stormwater Collection Chambers. The requirements of these ASTM and AASHTO standards
dictate that the chambers be in compliance with rigorous design and quality requirements. All
HydroStor chambers are manufactured at ISO 9001 compliant facilities.
