Overview
Because the VA hospital in Temple, Texas, was constructing a new parking garage, additional stormwater detention was necessary. However, the site’s footprint was limited with only one nearby green space, which needed to maintain its integrity.
Our Solution
As a result of the limited footprint and the request not to eliminate the nearby green space, Ferguson Waterworks recommended the subsurface stormwater detention system, R-Tank® stormwater modules. Space-efficient and easy to install, R-Tank Stormwater Modules offer a small and adaptable footprint. Meanwhile, they provide ample subsurface runoff storage. Not only did 852 HD R-Tank Modules provide 3,597 CF of underground detention, but the system was installed beneath the green space, completely out of sight.
What products did we pair with the 852 HD R-Tank Modules to ensure long-term dependability?
Ferguson Waterworks recommended the R-Tank subsurface storage system with 852 HD Modules, which provide 95% void space. Furthermore, we incorporated:
- Nonwoven geotextile fabric
- Biaxial geogrid
- ACF Trash Guard Plus Pre-Treatment
In addition to recommending and supplying the R-Tank system, Ferguson Waterworks also assisted with the underground detention system design. In fact, using the R-Tank Design Tool, we provided both layout and storage specifications. From project estimation to expedited deliveries and onsite support, Ferguson Waterworks is your start-to-finish supply partner. Contact your nearest expert or send us a message to discuss our solutions and determine if R-Tank stormwater detention modules are right for your project.

In order to revitalize and meet stormwater codes, the abandoned parking area at the Shoppes at Fashion Square in Orlando, FL, required updates. With a permeable paving system and machine technology, we helped the client achieve their goals, save $1 million, and complete the project in just 10 days.
With solar panels in place and operational, an immediate and effective erosion control solution was imperative. Especially considering the panels were positioned next to channels, drip lines, and spillways.
After failed attempts to stabilize the earth at the Mt. Jackson Solar Farm, they required an immediate, cost-effective erosion control solution. Ferguson Waterworks was brought on board to address their ongoing concerns.
