Florida Development Utilizes Storm Water Storage Basins
Due to an undersized and aging infrastructure, land redevelopment is booming in cities such as Tampa, Fla. For this reason, Tampa has implemented a strategy to reduce urban flooding associated with the redevelopment process. This strategy played an integral role in the Havana Square project, which transformed a previously unoccupied city block into two large apartment complexes with a centralized parking garage.
The initial storm water management design, drafted by King Eng., included 36 small StormTank systems around the perimeter of the complex and one large system beneath the courtyard of the western apartment building. The perimeter systems were designed to mitigate existing regional flooding, while the courtyard system would mitigate the development-generated runoff.
