The Terre Arch™ system is fully supported by HydroCAD Stormwater Modeling Software (version 9.0).  With the HydroCAD system, project designers and engineers can easily calculate underground storage, detention and infiltration routing and volumes.

HydroCAD v.9.0 easily integrates both the TA26 and TA48 Terre Arch™ systems.  The software provides an interactive chamber wizard for easy layout, pricing and modeling of underground storage systems.

About HydroCAD®

How Chambers Are Modeled

In a HydroCAD model, stormwater chambers typically appear as part of the storage definition for a “pond”. In the simplest case, HydroCAD calculates the available storage for use with other calculations. But more often, it is used to generate a completer inflow or runoff hydrograph and route it through the pond. The resulting analysis indicates the water levels attained throughout the rainfall event, as well as any discharge that may occur through outlet devices or infiltration into the surrounding ground.

Flexible Storage Options

Each pond may include an unlimited number of storage definitions as required to describe its overall storage characteristics. This makes it easy to model complex storage arrangements, such as a combination of multiple chambers, pipe storage, catch basins, or other contributing volumes.

But the most significant feature is the ability to embed (bury) chambers in a bed of crushed stone, and have HydroCAD automatically calculate the combined storage at any water surface elevation. This makes it easy to determine the storage for virtually any configuration of storage chambers, without the need for manual calculations.

HydroCAD can also model almost any imaginable storage arrangement, including chambers of different sizes combined with auxiliary storage from adjacent pipes and catch basins, and even above-ground areas (e.g. parking lots) that may provide overflow storage for certain events.
