Triton SWS

As 2022 comes to a close, it is with great pride and honor that Triton Stormwater Solutions was selected to supply the underground stormwater system at the Ford Central Station in Detroit, Michigan.
The Central Station closed its doors in 1988, and over the years, fell into disrepair. This once-beautiful building became a hotbed for graffiti and vandalism and was often used as an example of the decay of the once mighty Detroit.
In 2018 Ford Motor Company bought the
building and started to transform it into the centerpiece of a vibrant new campus in Detroit’s Corktown neighborhood that it will serve as an innovation hub for Ford’s vision for the future of transportation.

Just like Ford leading the way with its innovation, In February 2019, Triton called together its distributors and top customers from around the globe to unveil its new creation, the new Triton Vault System.

As part of this unveiling of the new Triton Vault System, many of the visitors attending the unveiling were given a tour of Detroit and of this beautiful but forgotten building, explaining that Ford recently bought the building and will restore it to its glory.

Well, here we are, almost 47 months from that February day in 2019, and this magnificent gem of Detroit is progressing nicely, and it now has a Triton Underground Stormwater system installed in its courtyard. It is extra special for us being a local Michigan business, having the honor to supply our products on such an iconic project.

As one year comes to a close and a new year dawns, so do new innovations from Triton Stormwater Solutions. As George Cantor once said, “Great innovation only happens when people aren’t afraid to do things differently.” As this project highlights, Ford Motor and Triton Stormwater Solutions are not afraid to think differently, which allows us to predict the future because we are creating it.

Stay tuned for more details about the new Triton product(s) that will be coming soon.

The Triton Vault System Changes Everything. It Maximizes Storage into a smaller footprint, Reduces the Amount of Stone up to 70%, Greatly Reduces the Time and Cost to install and provides up to 92% Storage Efficiency. In this Video all the Vault parts were installed in less than 2 hours and placement of the stone under, around and on top of the system was less than 10 hours.

Triton Chambers Support The Largest Underground System In The Southwestern United States.

The Situation:
Developers of the new IKEA store in Jacksonville, Florida, wanted to make this project a model of sustainable, forward-thinking design. A big part of this plan was an underground stormwater management system that would be the largest ever installed in the southeastern United States.

The Challenge:
Along with the size of the installation, developers faced the task of coordinating runoff from a variety of sources into six separate basins around the building, while also meeting state and local regulations that required a minimum separation between the bottom of the chambers and the Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT). The area also receives heavy precipitation, so a robust, large-storage-capacity system was needed to manage runoff and protect the area’s nearby water sources.

The Solution:
Although a competitive product had originally been spec’d for the project, Triton’s unrivaled strength, variety of sizes and engineering convinced the developers that a change was warranted. Nearly 14,000 chambers were utilized, making this one of the largest Triton chamber installations in the USA. Because of the multiple drainage basins, and their placement relative to the SHWT, Triton worked closely with the civil engineer team and IKEA team to create the most efficient and economical solution to manage runoff from parking lots, rooflines and unimproved lands.

The Installation:
Because of the varied inputs of runoff, a multifaceted strategy was employed. The Triton system’s flexibility allowed developers to utilize Triton’s Main Header Row to filter out sediments where necessary, but also allowed for direct inlets into the Triton distribution (storage) chambers when the runoff was relatively sediment-free (such as rooflines) without having to add costly manholes.
After excavation of the six drainage basins, geofabric was laid in each and a bed of crushed stone was put down. Then the chambers and endcaps were installed. The developers used a combination S-29, C-10 and M-6 chambers on the project to achieve the specific strength and storage needs of each basin. The physical installation of the chambers took less than two weeks, despite the large number of chambers placed and the multiple installation sites.
After the chambers and endcaps were installed, a crushed stone layer was put over all chambers to prepare the sites for final topping with pavement.
Because the Triton chambers are stronger than the competitive products, the project team was able to do less excavating and use less crushed stone – saving time and money!

The Result:
Because of Triton’s superior strength, variety of model sizes available, engineer support and storage capacity, the decision to switch from the originally spec’d competitive system saved 7,217 square feet of land, required 1,237 cubic yards less excavation and 2,130 cubic yards less of crushed stone while providing 3,032 more cubic feet of storage capacity!
The Jacksonville IKEA stormwater management system created 259,000 cubic feet of storage, without compromising the local hydrology, or eating up valuable retail and parking space.
