Modular raintank

a raintank and module technology, applied in the field of modules, can solve the problems of large amount of plastic material, limited water flow through the sidewall, and only approximately 50% of the volume, and achieve the effects of reducing the thickness of the strut, saving plastic material, and increasing the surface opening area

Abstract

A modular wall panel for an underground infiltration tank comprising a rectilinear periphery formed of four edge members and a plurality of internal strut members which intersect each other at a plurality of junctions. The internal strut members are arranged asymmetrically. The wall panels are provided with load bearing reinforcing nodes, located in at least one junction of the strut members to direct and dissipate the induced forces. The reinforcing nodes are of varying sizes and strength. Several modular wall panels interconnect using complementary studs and holes to assemble an individual infiltration tank module.

Description

CLAIM OF PRIORITY

[0001] This application claims priority to Australian provisional application No. 2006901293, filed Mar. 14, 2006.FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to underground raintanks, and in particularly to modular plates which form underground raintanks.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0003] Underground infiltration and raintanks are formed from plastic perforated tank modules, which are butted or stacked together to form the required tank size, wrapped in geotextile and surrounded in good draining medium such as sand. The geotextile material allows water to pass therethrough but prevents any sand from passing. Thus, water flows into the infiltration tank via a connecting pipe and percolates into the surrounding strata through the geotextile-covered perforated walls of the tank.

[0004] Similarly, water percolating through the soil above the tank enters the tank through the geotextile-covered top perforated wall of the tank. To form a reuse or water-harvesting ...
