StormVault™ Modular Stormwater Storage
StormVault is Jensen’s modular precast box-culvert storage system, built on 50+ years of box culvert manufacturing.
StormVault™ Engineered Solutions
You need underground storage that installs fast, fits the site, and passes review, without the long lead times and custom-mold costs of other modular systems.
StormVault uses standard box culvert forms already stocked at every Jensen plant, so it delivers faster and costs less than custom designed modular systems, and the BridgeSlab design between rows cuts both concrete and the number of pieces.
Detention, infiltration, retention, reuse, treatment, and trash capture — engineered as one system from one partner.
Box Culvert Reliability. Modern Stormwater Solutions.
Box culvert has managed infrastructure runoff for decades — proven, durable, and built to perform under heavy loads. StormVault brings that reliability to modular storage.
Because it uses standard box culvert forms instead of custom molds, it lowers manufacturing cost and lead time; the BridgeSlab design between module rows reduces the concrete and the piece count; and the modular layout assembles rapidly on site. The result is less waiting, lower cost, and a system engineers and agencies already trust.
Jensen engineers the full system — pretreatment, storage, filtration, and reuse — to match your site footprint, tie-in elevations, and local permit requirements
One System, Six Stormwater Functions
StormVault stores stormwater underground and can be configured to detain, infiltrate, retain and reuse, treat, manage hydromodification, and capture trash, depending on your site’s needs and permit.
Detention & Hydromodification
Manage runoff & reduce flooding with modular precast storage based on proven box culvert designs. Advanced outlet control structures regulate discharge to meet hydromodification requirements.
Infiltration
Large openings in the base slabs allow stormwater to infiltrate into the underlying soil. The system integrates with permeable base layers, dry wells, and innovative pretreatment solutions.
Retention & Reuse
Stores rainwater for irrigation and other non-potable uses. Uniquely accommodates an integrated pump station and sump within the vault, simplifying system design and installation.
Pretreatment
California State Water Board–certified full trash capture options include JDS, the Hydra Connector Pipe Screen, and Hydra Catch Basin Filters
Integrated Bioretention
Uses an integrated low-flow pump station to meter stored runoff through bioretention, meeting water quality and volume control requirements
Media Filtration
Treats stormwater through an integrated filtration bed using sand, Sierra Blend, or non-proprietary bioretention media.

StormVault Configurations
SingleVault
Heights from 3 to 12 ft. A low-profile option for projects that require shallow design and restricted tie-in points downstream.
DoubleVault
Heights from 7 to 12 ft. Efficient, high-capacity storage that suits most projects and site situations.
BridgeSlab Design
The innovative slab between rows of modules reduces the number of pieces per job that simplifies installation and lowers transportation and handling costs.
Integrated Pump for Reuse
Single- or double-vault detention configured with a built-in pump to collect, store, and distribute stored water for reuse applications

Request ConsultationBuilt for Maintenance Access
Stormwater storage only performs if it can be cleaned. StormVault is engineered so crews can get equipment inside the system, and not simply a vacuum hose through a manhole. The full 12-foot interior width, oversized access hatches, and custom turnaround end sections let a skid steer drive in, move freely, and reach every cell, so sediment and debris are removed mechanically and far faster than manual methods.
01
12 ft Interior Width
Each module is a full 12 feet wide inside — ample room for a skid steer and an operator to enter and maneuver, so cleaning is mechanized rather than done by hand.
02
Oversized Access Hatches
Oversized access hatches accommodate skid-steer maintenance. A 6 ft × 8 ft hatch is generally sufficient, with hatch designs completed up to 10 ft × 20 ft.
03
Perpendicular Turnaround Sections
Custom perpendicular end sections provide turnaround space, while 48-inch-wide chamber doors allow skid-steer passage between chambers.

StormVault Assembly
Proven. Fast. Compliant.
01
50+ Years of Box Culvert
Built on Jensen’s nearly six decades manufacturing box culvert. We offer proven durability and load performance, now in a modular storage system.
02
Faster Delivery, Lower Cost
Standard forms stocked at every plant, double-pour molds, and the BridgeSlab design mean short lead times and lower cost than custom modular systems
03
Compliance Built In
California State Water Board–certified full trash capture (JDS, Hydra Connector Pipe Screen, Hydra Catch Basin Filters) and a complete treatment train to meet detention, hydromodification, and water-quality permits.
How to Get Started
You have your workflow. We fit into it — not the other way around.
01
Request Sizing
Share your storage volume, footprint, and tie-in elevations. We’ll lay out a Single- or DoubleVault system and return a preliminary design.
02
Get Drawings Fast
With sizing confirmed, we turn around project-specific drawings in days — not weeks.
03
Engineering Review
We confirm storage volume and hydraulics, verify agency compliance (detention, hydromodification, trash capture), and provide stamped submittals.
04
Delivery & Installation Support
Standard forms mean fast production. We coordinate delivery and support installation through final inspection.
StormVault Installation
No crane needed on most installations. StormVault’s lighter modules can typically be set with an excavator.

Complete Your System
StormVault is the storage core of a complete stormwater system. Add pretreatment upstream, filtration and biofiltration for water quality, conveyance to tie it together, and a pump station for reuse or lift. Jensen engineers and manufactures all of it, so you get one partner, one set of drawings, and one team that knows how it all connects.
