HOW TO SUBMIT INFORMATION FOR DESIGN ASSISTANCE

CULTEC’s Technical Department can assist you with the design of your CULTEC Stormwater System by aiding with preliminary calculations, shop drawings and submittal packages.

Our Technical Staff is able to convert plans from existing pipe and stone systems, ponds, concrete structures and competitor chamber products to propose an equivalently sized septic or stormwater system utilizing CULTEC products.

We provide system layouts, cross section details and other CAD details for you to pick and plot for use on your blueprints.

Please note that CULTEC is able to provide these services free of charge and is limited to proposals and evaluating that the criteria meets minimum CULTEC requirements. It is the client’s responsibility to have all work reviewed and approved by a licensed professional engineer.

CULTEC STORMWATER DESIGN CALCULATORS

CULTEC, Inc. created the CULTEC Stormwater Design Calculators to aid engineers and developers in the computation of their stormwater management systems. This Microsoft® Excel based program allows the client to input job specific requirements and site constraints that produce automatic proposed bed layouts. The client is able to share electronic and hard-copy records that can be incorporated into their design documentation packages.

There are currently two calculator programs available:

CULTEC CHAMBERS MODELED IN HYDROCAD-8

Not only is CULTEC is the front runner for new product designs, we are also the first chamber manufacturer to strategically align with the developers of hydrology modeling software to incorporate and support plastic chamber structures. We are constantly striving to make the engineering community's stormwater design phase as easy as possible for our clients.

The latest HydroCAD-8.5 release provides direct support for all CULTEC storage chambers. Although HydroCAD is generally used to perform a complete watershed analysis, it can also be used to perform quick storage calculations for any configuration of storage chambers, including the effects of a stone bed of any shape or size.
