Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDR STORMBREAKER® used for?
TDR STORMBREAKER® is an underground stormwater detention system that attenuates runoff in severe storms and stores rainwater for non-potable reuse such as irrigation, cleaning, and equipment cooling. It is custom-built from TDR ULTRA® corrugated HDPE pipe.
What is a stormwater detention system?
A stormwater detention system is an underground structure that temporarily holds and slowly releases stormwater runoff to prevent flooding and control discharge. TDR STORMBREAKER® is a stormwater retention and detention system built from dual-wall corrugated HDPE pipe.
What is the difference between a retention and a detention system?
A detention system temporarily holds stormwater and releases it slowly, while a retention system stores water for reuse or infiltration. TDR STORMBREAKER® can be configured solid for watertight retention or perforated for infiltration.
What sizes does TDR STORMBREAKER® use?
TDR STORMBREAKER® uses TDR ULTRA® dual-wall corrugated HDPE pipe in 4-inch through 60-inch diameters, custom-designed for any terrain and space.
What standards does TDR STORMBREAKER® meet?
The pipe meets AASHTO M252, ASTM F2648 and ASTM F667 (4–10 inch) and AASHTO M294, ASTM F2306, ASTM F2648 and ASTM F667 (12–60 inch), with watertight joints per ASTM D3212 and gaskets per ASTM F477. Installation follows ASTM D2321.
Can a detention system be used to harvest rainwater?
Yes. A watertight detention or retention system can store stormwater for non-potable reuse. TDR STORMBREAKER® in its solid configuration captures rainwater for irrigation, cleaning, and equipment cooling.
Can TDR STORMBREAKER® be used for infiltration?
Yes. In its perforated configuration, TDR STORMBREAKER® allows stormwater to infiltrate into the surrounding soil, with perforations adaptable to soil permeability studies.
