Retain-It® System
Concrete underground detention and infiltration system
With its innovative modular design and environmentally friendly approach, the Retain-It underground detention system stands out as an essential component for sustainable infrastructure. Its precast concrete units efficiently capture, store, and manage runoff. Customize your system by adding elements such as weirs, baffles, and walls. Whether you want to include external features or create isolated areas for pretreatment, our team of experts is here to guide you through the process. Furthermore, reference our bank of effective mini-treatment systems to enhance your design and meet all necessary regulations.
Primary advantages of Retain-It underground detention systems
One of the primary advantages of Retain-It is its capacity to significantly reduce the risk of flooding. This is accomplished by retaining excess water during heavy rain events, preventing localized flooding and erosion, and protecting both property and natural landscapes. All modules have an 8’ by 8’ footprint with varying heights of 1 to 5 feet. In addition, components are stackable. The modules exceed H-20 loading requirements. Minimal cover is required for installation.
Professionals industry-wide use Retain-It to manage stormwater
Residential developers turn to Retain-It because it seamlessly integrates into landscaping. Therefore, it provides homeowners with an effective solution for managing stormwater.
For commercial sites, such as shopping centers and parking lots, the Retain-It system ensures compliance with stormwater regulations. Meanwhile, it enhances the aesthetic appeal of the property.
Lastly, municipal projects also benefit from the Retain-It system because it contributes to comprehensive stormwater management plans, helping cities and towns meet environmental standards and improve public safety.

What is underground stormwater detention?
Underground stormwater detention captures stormwater within or beneath a jobsite. As a result, it mitigates the effects of new development and redevelopment on an existing drainage system. In addition to underground stormwater storage systems, such as R-Tank® Stormwater Modules, StormCapture®, Retain-It, and Stormtech® Arched Chambers, Ferguson Waterworks offers above-ground stormwater solutions such as permeable pavement, biofilters, and more.
What are the benefits of underground stormwater chambers?
Underground stormwater detention systems manage storable and reusable stormwater runoff through groundwater recharge or rain harvesting. Stormwater subsurface storage presents a valuable resource for green stormwater infrastructure, renewable energy solutions, and overall stormwater compliance. Many underground detention tanks provide LEED credits to reduce the environmental impact of a project. Through proper budgeting and planning, underground stormwater storage systems may restore valuable land to the owner by reducing the footprint of traditional techniques, such as detention ponds.
