STORMWATER PROTECTION WITH DSTORM

Suitable for a range of applications, the Durham’s DSTORM® GPT can be installed into new developments or retrofitted onto existing drainage. Its modular design provides flexibility in construction and configuration. It can be designed to treat very high flows, with its generous sump volume providing ample storage aptitude.

DSTORM® has been specifically designed with construction and maintenance in mind to reduce costs associated with construction and maintenance processes, thus providing a long-term cost-effective environmental solution. 

KEY FEATURES

• Cost effective solution
• Simplified installation process
• Robust and durable design
• Innovative and reliable technology
• Easy access to 100 percent of the device
• Simplified cleaning process
• Independently tested
• Top quality materials
• Flexibility in design and configuration
• Local supply and timely delivery

A COST-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

The DSTORM has been especially designed to capture pollution across a wide spectrum, whilst simultaneously self-clear between events. Manufactured in Australia, the DSTORM is made with top quality concrete and stainless steel.

DSTORM’s stainless-steel screen has been designed with Smooth Bar Technology (SBT)©, ensuring the screen is so smooth that pollution slides down between storm events, restoring treatable flows. SBT© is superior to other direct screens, which commonly clog prematurely. The DSTORM’s SBT©, coupled with the screen’s 5-8mm aperture, ensures it will capture even the smallest gross pollution, sediments, and oil, but also self-clear between events.

The DSTORM has been especially designed for extremely easy access to 100 percent of the device for monitoring and maintenance, including beyond its screen.

No other device allows for such simplified access, especially behind the screen to clean. This is a huge design flaw and real maintenance issue, as over time breakthrough builds up and eventually blocks the screen, causing devices to become non-operational and useless.

The DSTORM is designed so its access covers sit on opposite sides of the device, allowing for this all-area access. With no internal moving parts, the DSTORM is cleaned simply with a combination unit from outside the device, eliminating the many WHS issues commonly associated with GPT cleaning. This ensures monitoring and maintenance remains safe, efficient, and cost-effective in the long term, allowing the GPT to successfully serve the environment for as long as possible.

The DSTORM is designed so its access covers enable easy access to 100 percent of the device.

DSTORM APPLICATIONS

Applications for DSTORM® include stormwater systems, pump stations, substations and stormwater harvesting for commercial, residential, industrial, and local government projects. Contact waterquality@duham.com.au now to find out more on the DSTORM’s impressive capabilities.

INDEPENDENT TESTING

The DSTORM underwent rigorous testing at UNSW’s Water Research Laboratory (WRL), and proved to capture 100% of gross pollution, and 72.6% of suspended sediments. This testing mimicked real life circumstances, with the suspended sediment used being consistent with the MUSIC particle size distribution (<1mm).

These results prove the DSTORM can provide amazing benefits for the environment.

DURHAM’S COMMITMENT

Durham is an Australian family owned business that has been serving the industry for over 70 years. They have been providing stormwater and drainage products and services to the civil and construction industry over five generations of the Durham family. Incorporated into their product range are proven stormwater treatment technologies with practical and serviceable design.

Durham continues to maintain strong and enduring relationships with their clients and the civil, utilities and construction industries. They understand the importance of research and development, and work tirelessly to continually test, validate, and improve their product range. They can be involved from the conception of your design, right through to its construction and installation.

Durham, in collaboration with Stormwater Australia, aims to provide leadership and advocacy for the industry, with the ultimate goal of protecting the environment – starting with the DSTORM® Gross Pollutant Trap.
