Can you access the stormwater tank, if so how?

If you design the tank with access, then you can. We have a system called EcoBloc Flex Inspect, which is an acute system which has channels down the middle to allow access. It can be combined with a Maxx system or it can be just EcoBloc Flex Inspect, which means that the tank is accessible. You could do this by installing integrated access chambers under the tank. These are called video shafts, which can be seen as manholes within the tank. Rather than being outside the tank, you have a mini-manhole inside the tank to instantly access these inspection channels and drainage channels. You can also buy external inspection chambers if you would rather have that option. Would like the more inspectable piece, but would rather access it either via one of the manholes that’s already there or an external inspection manhole. This all means little extra covers, extra excavation and extra manholes at that one site. But it depends on the design.

They are not suitable for man entry. The covers and access chambers are not big enough to send people into the tank for maintenance, but they are big enough for JN CCTV inspection, for regular maintenance you would need for a stormwater tank.
