Please see below a profile view of an infiltration chamber installed below a parking lot in a shopping centre development in Brampton, Ontario. The stormwater chamber system receives roof, road and parking lot runoff from a large drainage area that then drains to a receiving waterbody. The system was designed to provide temporary storage and controlled release of runoff from storms to minimize impacts to the receiving waterbody (elevated water temperatures, higher velocity flows, potential for elevated flood conditions, etc.). A 0.3m deep gravel bed with no outlet below a portion of the chamber area provides additional water storage in the event of a large or prolonged storm/rainfall event to provide better retention of sediment and the means to evaluate whether or not substantial infiltration occurs. Orifice flow restricting plates mounted on the outlets of each manhole cause stormwater to back up into the chambers and contributing storm sewers so that when flow into the manhole exceeds the maximum flow rate of the orifice plate, stormwater backs up into the chambers safely.
