About this asset

This subsurface cylindrical drywell Revit family provides a technical solution for stormwater management and site drainage planning. The drywell is a functional, subsurface civil engineering component designed for efficient water infiltration and storage. It features a robust, cylindrical tank configuration with a dedicated vertical access riser for inspection and maintenance. The geometry is defined by clear, adjustable parameters for both the primary tank height and the cover height, allowing for precise integration into various site conditions. Constructed as a single, utilitarian element, this component is intended for underground installation, ensuring it remains concealed while providing essential drainage performance for larger site development projects.

The download is a 195 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is designed for placement within site plans or subsurface sections. Users can modify the tank and cover height parameters to match specific civil drawings and invert levels. The family is best used in a host-neutral environment, allowing it to be placed at the required elevation relative to the project reference level. It provides a clean, schematic representation for coordination with other underground utilities and site grading plans without unnecessary visual complexity.

This asset is essential for civil engineers, landscape architects, and site planners working on residential, commercial, or industrial projects. It is typically employed during the preliminary design and documentation stages to establish stormwater drainage strategies. Professionals often search for subsurface infrastructure, drainage systems, or infiltration tanks when developing site-wide water management schemes. It pairs effectively with other utility components, such as pipework and catch basins, to create comprehensive site drainage models that meet local environmental and building code standards.
