THE PROJECT:
PANAMA BUS TERMINAL
CASE STUDY
Retention of 1000m³ of stormwater for a bus parking lot.
IMPORTANT PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Initial Specification
The original specified product was an arch retention system comprised of 2 basins for a total volume of 1,168m2.
Initial specified product: Arch retention system
1,168m2
Proposed Solution: EZStorm Basin
868m2
After careful review, NouVLR selected EZStorm for their waterstorm retention system.
The EZStorm high-capacity structure was installed, allowing the construction of a parking lot for light and heavy vehicles.
