The infiltration system selection calculator was created in cooperation with Wavin Polska. It allows the selection of infiltration tanks and horizontal infiltration pipes based on the DWA-A-138 guidelines. Depending on the surface of the area from which rainwater is collected and the type of soil, you receive the selection of an optimized infiltration system based on the adopted model of rain distribution. This means that the system is selected for the most critical parameters provided for given conditions. Thanks to the introduction of several precipitation models, it is possible to compare the results according to the PANDA, Bogdanowicz and Stach, Suligowski, Błaszczyk models or to specify a specific rainfall intensity and its duration. As a result, you receive a report with the tank data: its size, water capacity and construction. You can also download dwg drawings. and other materials related to infiltration systems.

The vacuum system selection calculator was created in cooperation with Wavin Polska. It allows you to select a vacuum system for drainage of flat roofs.

The green roof selection calculator was created in cooperation with the leading company Dorken DELTA. The calculator gives us a complete selection of a green roof in a few minutes along with a set of required documents and a ready specification of solutions with a description and the possibility of direct attachment to the construction project. Greening the roof over the garage, shed or residential house with the possibility of using it as a terrace – such a choice is created by green roofs. The application is aimed at architects and designers involved in planning green roof solutions and rainwater management. In a few simple steps, the calculator allows you to design a green roof layout depending on the required rainwater retention or thickness. The designer receives a clear report with a graphical representation of layers and technical data (amount of accumulated rainwater, surface runoff limitation, weight of the system, thickness of layers). For extensive and intensive green roofs in inverted and classic layout. In addition, solutions for usable roofs, pedestrian communication, roadways and fire protection. Technical data sheets and required certificates for the materials used are available in the application.

The calculator used to select pre-treatment systems was developed in cooperation with Ecol-Unicon. A dedicated tool allows you to choose the optimal solution for pre-treatment systems. After entering the appropriate data, the calculator automatically selects a device with appropriate parameters. Self-calculation allows you to save time and choose the most suitable device, e.g. the separator itself, or another pre-treatment system, e.g. a separator plus settling tank. The user can also download other documents – such as drawings or catalogs of individual devices. Using the form, the user can request a quote for the selected solution by contacting the manufacturer directly.

Gravity pipe selection calculators were created in cooperation with Uponor Infra, which is a leading international supplier of plastic pipe systems for underground infrastructure. Proper dimensioning and selection of the diameter of pipelines is crucial to ensure their reliable operation for many years. With this in mind, a gravitational duct selection calculator was created, with the help of which you can correctly calculate and select the diameters for the entire rainwater duct. For selected diameters, we can use PEHD or PP pipelines connected by socket couplings or extrusion welding.

The calculator used to select pumping stations was developed in cooperation with Ecol-Unicon. After entering the investment data, the user is able to choose the optimal solution in just 4 steps without having to wait for feedback. The selection is done automatically after entering the appropriate parameters. After entering all the data correctly, the user receives a proposal for three pumping stations. They have the parameters closest to those introduced in the previous steps. The program has implemented security measures that prevent the creation of a project.

Retention reservoirs require regular removal of sedimenting impurities; this also applies to channels, especially those with a low slope, carrying water at too low a flow velocity. An economical and convenient solution is the use of automatic flushing systems in tanks and simple flushing devices in channels. The applied system of automatic flushing of HYDROSELF retention tanks uses the energy of sewage accumulated in open accumulation chambers separated in the tank. The wall separating the chambers from the rest of the tank is equipped with hinged gates and non-return valves. The calculator in four simple steps allows you to quickly select flushing systems for retention tanks and channels, as well as download drawings, installation cards and diagrams of the selected system.

Increasingly frequent extreme weather phenomena, such as torrential rainfall, force the need to use retention and search for new technical solutions to minimize their negative effects, such as inundations or floods. One of the solutions are flow regulators that limit the flow rate from the catchment area and play an increasingly important role in water and wastewater management. Their main function is to ensure a constant value of the liquid outflow rate, as well as to stabilize the flows upstream and downstream of devices whose effectiveness depends on the volume of flow (wastewater pumping stations, pre-treatment devices). The answer to these needs is the “Flow regulator selection calculator”. The purpose of the tool is a quick and, at the same time, possibly precise selection of flow regulators for rainwater drainage systems.

The operating cost calculator, whose authors are practitioners working in three companies, Veolia, DSConsulting and RetencjaPL, with comprehensive knowledge, experience and data in the field of shaping, using and financing stormwater infrastructure, allows for a quick and, at the same time, possibly precise calculation of the costs of maintaining drainage and water retention systems rainwater along with the calculation of the rate of potential charges for rainwater. This is the first calculator addressed to managers of rainwater drainage systems: waterworks, municipal companies, city authorities interested in making the conditions for maintaining rainwater systems more realistic or introducing charges for rainwater and assessing the conditions in which this process should be carried out.
