StormCap™+Detention
Next Level Stormwater Management
07 72 73 Vegetated Roof Systems
StormCap™+Detention manages stormwater on the roof by providing retention and detention, making it a full-fledged stormwater tool ready to face second day and extra-large storms. Detention provides a clear return on investment. Reduces or eliminates cisterns and bioretention facilities and frees up valuable space for income-generating development. It even works on a low-sloped roof!
Detention technology helps manage excess rainfall onsite by mimicking surface friction found in watersheds and aquifers.
Key features
- Ideal for buildings with space constraints.
- Temporarily holds an average of 7.5 to 10 cm of rainfall that would otherwise drain off quickly.
