Advanced Drainage Systems Inc. (ADS) announced a new, online program for designing and estimating the cost of a storm water system constructed with its StormTech chambers. Available for free on the company’s website, the ADS StormTech Design Tool enables engineers, owners and contractors to design customizable underground storm water management systems. The flexible tool provides the ability for site-specific applications and can be accessed and used through multiple platforms, including smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. System designs from the tool are produced in both PDF and CAD formats, with data provided that allows users to estimate a total installed cost.
The design tool is a first step in the evaluation of water management solutions, including consideration for important criteria such as the feasibility of retention pond replacement, alternative underground products, land values and usage, public safety, regulatory compliance, water harvesting, water quality, LID applications and more.
"We developed this new design tool to help our customers who want and need a rapid and responsive means of planning underground storm water management solutions for their projects," said Bob Klein, executive vice president, sales for ADS.
