What is the Extention Basin?

The Extention Basin is a patented stormwater management system that should be used where stormwater detention is needed for land developments and where the Design Engineer desires to minimize cost and environmental impacts.

The Extention Basin operates on standard hydraulic principles.


What does the Extention Basin do?

The Extention Basin is a solution to reduce peak flows from ALL design storms using the least possible storage volume - generally providing a 35% to 50% reduction in storage volume.

The Extention Basin integrates all other required storage amounts, such as runoff volume reduction, and water quality volume.  It does this by distributing flows using optimized flow control panels.

The Extention Basin controls timing to closely match original watershed peak flow timing making land developments "hydrologically transparent" in the environment.

The Extention Basin system uses the minimal land area possible.

The extention basin does not "treat" stormwater, it is not a BMP - it merely distributes stormwater to other BMP's and detention systems based on the regulatory requirements.  The Design Engineer may specify any form of treatment or BMP.


Are These in Operation? Yes, this system works - and all claims to their effectiveness are provable.  This is the only system that reduces stormwater volume. There are about a dozen designs ready to be installed as of Jan 2010.

A typical EBS consists of a detention section, a water quality section and sometimes a section to infiltrate excess volume.

Our proprietary software computes flow distributions to minimize total stormwater storage and we provide the Flow Control Panels to make it all work.
