ON-SITE DETENTION TANKS
Urbanscapes constructs block-built on-site stormwater detention tanks for commercial, industrial, civil and residential developments. Designed around project-specific engineering requirements, OSD tanks temporarily store stormwater and control discharge rates to help manage runoff and support compliant drainage design.
Discuss Your ProjectWHY STORMWATER DETENTION MATTERS
As developments expand, roofs, roads, car parks and other hard surfaces reduce the amount of rainfall that can soak into the ground. This increases stormwater runoff and can place additional pressure on local drainage networks.
On-site stormwater detention systems temporarily store runoff during rainfall events and release it at a controlled rate. By managing peak discharge in accordance with the approved drainage design, OSD tanks help reduce the risk of development increasing downstream flooding pressures and drainage capacity issues.
OSD tanks are an important component of stormwater management on many developments and may be required as part of council or other development approval conditions.
APPLICATIONS
Large warehouses, industrial estates, logistics facilities and commercial buildings can generate substantial stormwater runoff from roofs, hardstands and paved areas. OSD tanks provide temporary storage and controlled discharge as part of the site's drainage design.
New roads, homes, driveways and other developed surfaces change how rainfall moves across a site. OSD tanks help manage runoff from subdivision developments in accordance with approved stormwater requirements.
Civil developments require coordinated stormwater management across roads, earthworks, drainage networks and developed land. OSD tanks form part of the wider drainage infrastructure where detention storage is required.
Large building footprints, access roads, service yards and paved areas can generate significant stormwater runoff. OSD tanks can help manage discharge from these sites as part of an integrated stormwater design.
HOW IT WORKS
Stormwater from designated roofs, paved areas and other catchments enters the site's drainage network.
The block-constructed OSD tank provides storage during rainfall events, with capacity determined by the project's hydraulic design.
An engineered outlet regulates the release of stored water into the approved downstream drainage system.
BLOCK CONSTRUCTION & DELIVERY
Urbanscapes constructs block-built OSD tanks to the requirements of each project's engineering documentation. Our focus is on accurate construction, coordination with surrounding civil works and delivery in line with the project programme.
From excavation interfaces and structural construction to drainage connections and access provisions, the work must align with the approved design and site requirements.
We work with civil contractors and project teams to integrate OSD tank construction into the broader development programme.
KEY BENEFITS
Temporary storage and regulated release in accordance with the approved design.
Helps manage peak runoff and reduce additional pressure on downstream drainage systems.
OSD construction coordinated with the surrounding development works.
Built to the relevant engineering documentation and site requirements.
