The TNS™ is a subsurface retention and passive-irrigation asset that removes runoff from the surface network – displacing detention basins and outfall drainage.
Surface ponding and flood-immunity constraints on access and egress resolved without importing fill.
Distributed storage in the road reserve in place of a centralised basin and a long outfall – no pumps.
Land recovered from detention returns to lot yield. The area depends on the site, and we model it before you commit.
Sized to deliver the runoff volume reduction the code asks for, with the sensors providing the record.
Where works are dedicated as a council asset, we pursue the trunk stormwater function argument first, with canopy, cooling and flood mitigation as supporting evidence of multiple function rather than in place of it. Positions confirmed in writing with the clause named, before anything is relied on.
Cooler, greener streets, and a better flood status on search reports.
Where a development also carries stormwater quality obligations, those are met by separate, appropriately certified measures. We’ll model your site before you commit.
Retention at the source takes conventional infrastructure out of the civil scope rather than adding a new asset alongside it. That is where the money moves – and because it moves differently on every layout, we cost it against your site rather than quoting a rate.
The detention basin, the outfall main that serves it, and the pump station where levels demand one. Where a basin is no longer required, the land it occupied returns to the developable area.
Modular storage in the road reserve, installed with the kerb and pavement works – inside the civil program and the same trades, not a separate package with its own mobilisation.
Servicing is surface work on plant the asset owner already operates: sweeping, a removable tray, a consumable filter, no confined-space entry. The maintenance case →
A node holds the runoff from the micro-catchment it serves, so that volume never arrives at the bottom of the site. Across a precinct that shows up in the drainage design in three places. Pipes are sized on the flows that reach them. The existing downstream system can often take the discharge without an upgrade. And the detention basin built to hold flows back until they fit downstream comes out on most layouts.
The basin is usually the expensive one, because it takes developable area as well as construction cost.
It isn't a replacement for conventional drainage. It's a smaller set of tools doing the same job in more places, which is why the network that remains is smaller.
Every number is site specific and comes out of the ARR model for the catchment being designed. Send a layout and a catchment plan and we'll run it.
We cost it for your site, not from a rate card. The per-lot comparison against centralised detention and outfall drainage is prepared on your actual layout – your catchments, your civil scope, your plant rates – and it comes with the feasibility assessment. A published figure would not survive the variation between sites.
We’ll model your site before you commit, and show what the retention approach recovers in developable land.
