Stormwater Detention Systems
Managing stormwater effectively in urban and industrial environments helps to mitigate flooding risks while supporting sustainable water management. Stormwater detention systems play a vital role in stormwater management by temporarily holding excess rainwater and releasing it at a slower, controlled rate. By enabling a consistent runoff rate, stormwater detention systems help to manage stormwater surge during heavy rain events, reducing the pressure on natural waterways and municipal drainage networks.
At SVC Products, we specialise in delivering innovative stormwater detention solutions tailored to meet the demands of modern urban planning. Whether it’s a new greenfield development or an infill construction project to increase urban density, SVC can assist with reliable options for stormwater detention.
Our stormwater detention range includes options such as the patented MC2 MultiCell system, an innovative and customisable Dual Chamber Pit system, and standardised stormwater pit options that can be used to create project-specific baffle pits or orifice pits.

Stormwater Detention: Store, Control & Discharge Effectively
On-site stormwater detention systems capture and temporarily store stormwater during periods of heavy rainfall, reducing the strain on drainage systems. The water is collected in tanks or chambers, where flow-control mechanisms regulate its gradual release into the environment or stormwater network. This controlled discharge prevents flooding, protects infrastructure, and minimises erosion.
OSD systems are required when the development of land creates an increase in impervious areas, or hard surfaces, on the property. This leads to increased stormwater runoff, which can adversely affect municipal drainage infrastructure.
Stormwater detention systems must comply with the AS 3500: National Plumbing and Drainage Code. In addition to the national standard, each council has their own guidelines for on-site stormwater detention.
