BOTTOMLESS INNOVATION
Specialized market needs have led to innovative solutions at Torrent Resources:
Recharge Programs Torrent specializes in cost-effective systems that utilize surplus water from many sources as a beneficial component of a valuable community resource. To help supplement existing water supplies, Torrent has been at the forefront of the development of recharge programs for numerous municipalities. Limitless quantities of allocated and reclaimed water are stored in underground aquifers for reuse elsewhere – simply by implementing a high-tech, high-capacity gravity recharge system that works 24/7, 365 days each year.
Evaluation of Outdated Drainage Systems Existing sites that have been impacted by industrial processes may have outdated drainage systems. In these situations, Torrent can provide an evaluation, as well as remediation efforts and site redesign to conform to current regulatory standards.
Pattern Drilling/Soil Remediation Torrent has been instrumental in the development of pattern drilling, a highly efficient method of remediation for sites with soil contamination. A process of systematically drilling, evaluating and replacing contaminated soil with stabilized backfill, it provides for precise, complete removal of the contaminated soil envelope. Success is achieved in a variety of site conditions by using enhanced soil stabilization techniques.
Environmental Applications Understanding the need to provide for proper pretreatment of urban runoff has led Torrent to be actively involved with various government agencies, such as the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and the California Regional Water Quality Control Boards. Torrent volunteers its time and expertise to contribute real-world experience and solutions that positively impact industry guidelines and regulations. For example, Torrent has partnered with the Maricopa Association of Governments and local municipalities to address drainage quality issues and provide support toward improvements in Management Practices and product application. Furthermore, to answer the specialized need for effective treatment of surface water runoff at sites impacted by industrial activities, Torrent has developed the Envibro™ drainage system. Utilizing a combination of advanced materials and processes, industrial by-products such as fuel and oil are trapped and separated from water prior to disposal.
