APPLICATIONS – BIOFILTRATION
 |
The rezoning of the RAAF Stores Depot to a residential zoning created the opportunity for Mirvac to develop a leading edge sustainable development of Regents Park. Stormwater from both on and off site is collected and managed, with a HydroCon bioretention system used to remove nutrients and fine sediment. The WSUD measures have won for the development several awards including the 2008 Stormwater Industry Association Award for Excellence in Stormwater Management
HydroCon pipes improve the operation of bioretention systems
| “The use of HydroCon pipes has enabled STORM CONSULTING to deliver numerous award winning water sensitive urban designs. STORM has long recognised that, in addition to the water quality benefits that HydroCon pipes provide, their greatest benefit is their ability to deliver pre-treated stormwater to the subsurface of a bioretention or stormwater filter system, preventing clogging, allowing easy maintenance by conventional methods, and significantly reducing life cycle costs.” Mark Liebman – Senior Consultant, STORM CONSULTING STORM CONSULTING projects have won Stormwater Industry Association National Awards of Excellence in 2004, 2007 and 2008, and a NSW Premier’s Green Globe Award in 2008. |
