Innovative Joint Venture Results in a Stormwater Control System The Challenge No Benching, No Coring, No Problem! • To create a simple, robust all in one stormwater control system. • Eliminate the need to core/drill the chamber on site. • Ensure correct benching of flow control chamber. • Guarantee correct installation of the flow control. • Simple, one step installation. The Solution In a joint venture Hydro International and CPM Group Ltd have produced a series of easy to install, concrete preformed Hydro‑Brake® Chambers.

The Hydro-Brake® Chamber Advantages What is it? The Hydro-Brake Chamber comprises a precast reinforced • Bespoke Design concrete chamber base containing a bespoke Hydro-Brake ® ® Flow Control. Every Hydro-Brake® Chamber includes a made-tomeasure Hydro-Brake® Flow Control designed to suit the site specific design. Standard units also have The Hydro-Brake® Chamber is delivered to site ready for benching for the flow control preformed in the chamber. immediate installation. As the Hydro-Brake Flow Control Step Irons can also be pre-fitted within the chamber if is already installed in the...

The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control What is it? The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is a device for controlling Casing liquid flow. It is self-activating, utilising the upstream hydraulic head to generate an air filled vortex within the Outlet centre of the casing. How it Works The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is a self-activating vortex flow control device that provides superior hydraulic performance over conventional flow regulators with patented features that reduce maintenance requirements. Air Filled Core Intake Because Hydro-Brake® Flow Controls harness the energy inherent in the flow field they...

The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control Advantages • No moving parts. Type SV, SMV and SXV • Large open area (reduced risk of blockage) Similar to the Type SH but with a vertical outlet. Can be • No power requirements. used in foul and combined sewer flow control applications. • Self-activating and self-cleaning. Flow Range: • Highest performing passive flow control. • Integral bypass allowing access for rodding / jetting. • BBA applied for. Typically 2-300 l/s. Pivoting Bypass Door Figure 7 - The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control is fitted with an integral Type SXV Hydro-Brake® pivoting bypass door built...

Design Standard Chamber Standard Chamber Design The Hydro-Brake® Flow Control manufactured by Hydro International is incorporated into either a one-piece 1200 mm or 1500 mm diameter precast reinforced concrete chamber with preformed benching and headwall manufactured by CPM Group Ltd. The chamber is Kite marked and fabricated using a base unit complying with BS EN 1917:2002. The chambers are available in two sizes, both of which can accommodate either an SH, SXH or SMXH design of Hydro-Brake® Flow Control Device.

Hydro-Brake® Chamber Additional Options In addition to the standard design shown in Figure 2, page 3, there are a number of alternative Hydro-Brake® Chamber designs available to suit different applications and specifications. Option 1 - Hydro-Brake® Chamber with High Level Overflow This chamber includes an emergency overflow. The design incorporates a cored hole at the desired height to accommodate a reverse backdrop pipe arrangement. This is an alternative design to a weir wall configuration and can be incorporated in the 1200 mm, 1500 mm and 2000 mm diameter chambers (see Option 3)....

Hydro-Brake® Chamber Options Option 3 - Hydro-Brake® Chamber with Integral Weir Wall This chamber design includes a reinforced concrete weir wall, complete with pre-mounted Hydro-Brake® Flow Control. The weir wall can be constructed at various heights to suit design requirements. As with the previous option, the weir wall configuration can an also include a penstock located alongside the Hydro‑Brake® Flow Control (if required). Please note that this option is only available with the 2000 mm diameter chamber. Figure 14 - 3D Section Showing Hydro-Brake® Chamber with Integral Weir Wall Option...

Hydro-Brake® Chamber Installation Installation Instructions 1. The excavation must be carried out in accordance with all relevant Health & Safety requirements. 2. The chamber has been manufactured with a reinforced concrete base and can be placed on either a prepared base of 100 mm layer of pipe bedding or 75 mm of lean mix concrete depending on ground conditions. Please check with Hydro International if in doubt. 3. Off-load the chamber and install in the prepared excavation ensuring the inlet(s) and outlet points are correctly orientated. 4. Once the unit has been checked for line and...
