The Hawthorne Willowbrook apartment complex was looking to expand upon the amenities offered to residents by adding a 1,200 ft2 fitness center. To do so, they would be removing one of the few remaining vegetated areas in the complex, meaning
that additional stormwater controls would be required within the site’s already limited space.

Hawthorne Willowbrook partnered with Site Design, Inc., to determine a location for the construction of the fitness center, adjacent to the existing clubhouse and pool. To make this feasible, the designers needed to utilize a retaining wall that would reduce grade limitations and locate the stormwater storage undergroundto offset the increased runoff.

Thanks to a recent presentation given by the Brentwood StormTank team, Site Design, Inc., knew who to contact to develop a solution for the Hawthorne Willowbrook project. The StormTank Pack was chosen as an ideal stormwater management system for the area as it did not need to support any heavy loads from vehicular traffic.

Installed immediately adjacent to the new fitness center, the StormTank Pack provided the necessary capacity for runoff mitigation. It was delivered to the site pre-assembled, allowing the contractor to complete the installation quickly and move on to the next part of the site’s construction.
