A new subdivision in Taupiri was originally designed with 28 tree pits for stormwater treatment. Seeking a more cost-effective and efficient alternative, the developer and Blue Wallace engaged Stormwater360 to provide a solution that reduced both capital and operational expenditure—without compromising water quality outcomes.
The Solution
By replacing the proposed tree pits with just 8 Filterra® units, the project team achieved a significant reduction in required infrastructure. The Filterra® system offered an innovative “plug and play” solution that provided the same high-performance water quality treatment, while dramatically reducing the number of devices, installation time, and long-term maintenance responsibilities.
This reduction in devices eased the burden on the council for future upkeep, with fewer assets to maintain and monitor.
Target Pollutants
Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Gross Pollutants (Litter), Hydrocarbons and Oils
Maintenance
Simple and low-cost maintenance that is just the replacement of the mulch layer every 6 months.
