Definitions

  • the invention relates to stormwater flow control, particularly to apparatus including a chamber for control of stormwater flow, a system including such apparatus, and a development served by the system.
  • stormwater will be understood to include water such as rainwater or water from melting snow, ice, or hail.
  • apparatus for controlling flow of stormwater in a stormwater handling system comprising a chamber having an inlet and an outlet for water flow into and out of the chamber, a means to control flow of water between the inlet and outlet, and means providing a bypass of the flow control means.
  • the apparatus may comprise an additional outlet which is both inoperative to provide for water flow therethrough and selectively operable to provide fluid flow to bypass flow through the outlet.
  • the additional outlet may be obturated when inoperative, suitably by a movable valve, preferably being manually movable.
  • the valve may comprise a slidable plate which in the inoperative mode of the additional outlet obturates an inlet end of the additional outlet.
  • the slidable plate may be connected with an elongate device for moving the valve, suitably the elongate device comprising a chain, rope, pull cord or the like device.
  • the plate may suitably be slidable vertically. This provides for return to the obturating position under gravity.
  • the chamber may have an internal wall which supports an inlet end of the respective outlet and additional outlet.
  • the outlet and additional outlet may be at the same height from a floor of the chamber, and may also preferable be substantially parallel.
  • bypass means may comprise an upstanding pipe, conduit, tube or the like.
  • bypass means may be upstanding from and connected with the outlet for flow of bypass water into the outlet.
  • the inlet end of the bypass means may be open, or may have a flow control device.
  • Such a flow control device may comprise a restrictor plate, which may comprise a plate with an aperture therethrough for passage of bypass water into the bypass means.
  • the pipe, tube, conduit or the like may be removably mounted in the outlet.
  • the outlet suitably comprises a pipe, conduit, tube or the like,
  • the flow control means may comprise an inlet of the pipe, conduit, tube or the like of less diameter than the diameter of the said inlet.
  • the inlet may comprise a plate with a through hole, which plate is secured to the pipe, conduit or tube, suitably at substantially 90° across an inlet orifice of the outlet.
  • the respective inlet, outlet and additional outlet may comprise a plastic pipe, preferably a plastic pipe comprising a twin-walled corrugated pipe.
  • the means to control flow of water into the outlet may be a vortex flow control device.
  • a stormwater handling system including apparatus as hereinbefore defined.
  • the system may comprise a holding container for receiving stormwater via the apparatus.
  • the holding container may be connected in line with the apparatus.
  • the container may comprise a generally rectangular box having perforated walls, suitably with a geotextile outer covering or a geomembrane outer covering.
  • the system suitable comprises a silt trap which is suitably mounted between the apparatus and the holding container.
  • the development may comprise a plurality of separate items, each connected with a respective system, or with a common system.
  • the item(s) suitably comprise a building, or a car park.
  • apparatus 1, 2 or 3 for controlling flow of stormwater in a stormwater handling system 4, 5, 6 (Figs. 11 - 13), comprising a chamber 7 having an inlet 8 and an outlet 9 for water flow into and out of the chamber, a means 10 to control flow between the inlet 8 and outlet 9, and means 11 providing a bypass of the flow control means 10.
  • the chamber 7 is a plastic body of right cylindrical form being made of a double-walled corrugated plastic with a base or bottom 12.Piercing the wall of the chamber 7 are the inlet 8 and outlets 9 in the form of pipes, tubes or conduits.
  • the inlet 8 could be at any desired height other than that shown, and the outlet 9 is arranged to discharge water to a suitable location (not shown) which in practice will be a water course such as a stream or river.
  • a wall 14, or head wall Internally of the chamber 7 there is a wall 14, or head wall, which is secured to the interior surface of the chamber 7 as by plastic welding, and forms a support for an inner end of the outlet pipe 9.
  • the inlet to the outlet pipe 9, on the inlet side of the wall 14, has the means 10 to control flow of the stormwater from the interior of the chamber 7 to the outlet pipe 9.
  • This means 10 is in the embodiments, a plate secured to the inlet or mouth of the outlet pipe at 90° to the longitudinal axis thereof, and has a through hole, suitably centrally located, of less diameter than that of the outlet pipe, thereby restricting, and hence controlling flow of stormwater from the inlet 8 via the chamber 7 and thence the outlet pipe 9 to the water course.
  • the means 10 is of such a size as to provide a vortex flow control device.
  • the chamber 7 is located below ground, accessed from the surface via a manhole (not shown).
  • the means 11 providing a bypass in Figs. 1 to 3 is an additional outlet which is in the form of a pipe, tube or conduit which passes through, and is support at its inlet or mouth end, by the wall 14, and at its outlet end by the wall of the chamber 7, through which it passes.
  • the outlet pipe 9 and the additional outlet pipe 11 are substantially parallel, and at the same height or level in the chamber 7.
  • the inlet or mouth of the additional pipe 11, which is on the inlet 8 side of the wall 14, is obturated against water flow into the outlet pipe by a movable valve or plate 15.
  • the plate 15 is connected with the surface by means of an elongate lifting member (not shown) such as a rope, chain, pull cord or cable, hereinafter pull cord.
  • the pull cord passes through guides in the form of eyes 16 on the wall 14 and chamber 7 inner surface.
  • the pull cord is pulled to slide the plate 15 out of the way of the mouth of the additional pipe 11.
  • Water in the chamber 7 then flows into the additional, or bypass, pipe 11, thus diverting water around or away from the flow control means 10 (also known as a vortex control means), through the additional outlet 11 and back to the outlet pipe 9 at a position outside the chamber 7, there being a "dog leg" connection between the additional outlet or bypass pipe 11 to the outlet pipe 9.
  • the flow control means 10 also known as a vortex control means
  • Desired discharge rate will not be exceeded unless by an authorised person (e.g. authorised by a Water Authority or Environment Agency) gaining access to the chamber 7 through the manhole.
  • an authorised person e.g. authorised by a Water Authority or Environment Agency
  • the authorised person has control of over the time and frequency of providing the bypass flow.
  • the apparatus 1 is not operated continuously, but any problem in back-up can be readily observed and dealt with on an ad hoc basis when necessary.
  • the plate 15 will usually be slidable vertically by lifting, lateral edges of the plate being guided in guides on the wall. On release of the pull cord, the plate 15 returns under gravity, to its position covering the mouth of the bypass pipe 11.
  • the bypass means 11 comprises an automatic bypass of the flow control means or vortex flow control device.
  • the level of the stormwater in the chamber 7 rises so that it passes into the upstanding pipe which acts as a bypass means and as an overflow weir, thus avoiding any flooding upstream of the chamber 7. This action also promotes back flushing of the system 4, 5 or 6 which can prevent blockage of the flow control means 10.
  • the pipe 11 may be movably mounted in the outlet pipe 9 to aid in the drain down of the system, thus in the event of a blockage the overflow weir can be disconnected where it joints the soffit of the outlet pipe allowing the water level to fall right down to the level of the wall. This provides a quick alternative to pumping out the chamber, but a pump may still be required depending on the height of the wall.
  • the second embodiment has benefits, as set out below:-
  • Figs. 4 - 8 the upper as viewed end of the bypass pipe 11 or weir is open.
  • the upper end of the bypass pipe 11 or weir has a flow control device 16 in the form of a plate 17 with a through hole 18.
  • the flow control device 11 thus is a secondary flow control device, the primary control device being the plate 10 on the mouth of the outlet pipe 9.
  • the primary flow control means or device 10 is a vortex flow control device. This is a most efficient flow controller, its outlet being made bigger than the equivalent orifice plate, making it more efficient at low flows and less prone to blocking. The reason for this is that under a set head of water a vortex is initiated within the outlet pipe, which, when fully formed with an air core running down the centre of it, provides an artificial choking effect thus reducing the allowable flow through the outlet.
  • the secondary flow controller is an orifice plate and will only be utilised in the event of a blockage or a storm that is so excessive that it will cause flooding upstream of the primary flow controller.
  • the location of this secondary flow controller is within the flow control chamber but above the primary flow control device and above the highest point of an attenuation tank, thus allowing attenuation tanks to fill up before the secondary flow controller becomes active.
  • Orifice plates are as their name suggests, a plate with a hole in them.
  • the diameter of the hole and the head of water (pressure) behind it dictate the flow through the orifice and it is this relationship which dictates the maximum flow rate allowable at the maximum head of water. It is for this reason that the orifice plate is placed high in the chamber and not the vortex flow controller as the higher in the chamber the orifice plate is, the less the head of water behind it will be. This allows the orifice to be larger and more efficient.
  • Providing two forms of flow control device within the chamber allows there to be a backup flow controller or a way of doubling the allowable flow through the outlet in emergencies, in a controlled way.
  • the apparatus 1, 2, 3 described hereinbefore can be used in stormwater control systems e.g. 4, 5, 6 which include an attenuation tank 19 or tanks, generally comprising a rectangular box or crate of injection moulded plastic with perforated walls, and a geotextile or geomembrane cover over the outer surface.
  • Such systems usually include a silt trap 20, for separating solids through settlement.
  • the system 4, 5 or 6 is used to prevent flooding in a development 22 such as dwellings, car parks etc.
  • Fig. 11 the apparatus 1, 2 or 3 is connected by piping with the silt trap 20 and tank or tanks 19, the outlet 9 from the chamber being directed to a water course.
  • Fig. 12 shows another system, in which the container or tank 19 is connected directly to the chamber 7, rather than via the silt trap 20.
  • Fig. 13 shows an in-line system, in which the water flows from the drainage source to the silt trap, to the container or tank and then into the control chamber where it is released to the outlet pipe at a controlled rate.
  • Stormwater flow into this system exceeding the allowed flow through the outlet will case the stormwater to be held resulting in the water backing up.
  • the stormwater does not flow backwards, the point at which the water comes to a halt gets closer to the drained area.
