A developer had plans to build an overnight parking location for 18 wheelers on major truck line in West Texas. The site was 5 1/2 acres and a 35,000-square-foot and 4-foot-deep detention pond was required along with a major additional drainage element to handle and route stormwater runoff. Due to being a quite flat land with little slope, expensive sump pumps would have been required as well. Projected costs for both asphalt and concrete exceeded the targeted budget and an alternative was needed.
