As their name suggests infiltration chambers work exclusively to infiltrate stormwater. They are an underground facility and are often used beneath parking lots or playing fields to treat flow routed from other areas.

As their name suggests infiltration chambers work exclusively to infiltrate stormwater. Infiltration chambers include a range of proprietary manufactured, modular structures embedded in clean, crushed angular stone that are installed underground, typically under parking or landscaped areas, that create large void spaces for temporary storage of stormwater, allowing it to infiltrate into the underlying native soil. They may be designed to provide sufficient load bearing capacity to allow construction of structures on top of them.  They can be installed individually or in series, in trench or bed configurations. Due to the large volume of underground void space they create, and the modular nature of their design, they are well suited to sites where available space for other types of BMPs is limited, or where it is desirable for the facility to have little or no surface footprint (e.g., high density development contexts).
