    In this video, Matt takes you through a walking tour of the ventilation, fire sprinkler, LID water collection and storm drain systems at his new business, Westside Collector Car Storage. WCCS is LA's newest and only custom-built collector car management facility, opening in Playa Vista October 2019.

  • @jah280
    @jah280 5 лет назад +85

    one of the other reasons for LID is not just to "clean" the rainwater but retain the water for a time before being allowed to hit a city's stormwater system, which if LA is like any other big city, has been at capacity for years and will easily be overwhelmed in some rainfall scenarios. Where I live, LID is used to ensure that water doesn't leave a building lot, instead it is retained and allowed to slowly infiltrate into the soil/substrate/aquifer onsite...it's never supposed to hit the stormwater system.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  5 лет назад +41

      That's interesting, and a great point. Reducing load on LA's storm drain system is another angle I hadn't considered. Because my building is the entire property with not much free space, there is basically no way for the water to get all the way into the ground, so I guess the method we are using is the closest we can get.

    • @KeenLaF
      @KeenLaF 5 лет назад +16

      it also helps slow the water cycle, rather than all the water immediately hitting the storm system and straight to the ocean, it can re-enter the already starved for water ecosystem

    • @skibum291
      @skibum291 5 лет назад +7

      Correct. That’s the same thing they are doing here in Pittsburgh. Green Infrastructure aka rain gardens and bioswales are pretty sick

    • @skibum291
      @skibum291 5 лет назад

      Although ours is because we recieve too much rain. We have combined sewers here. If we get over 1/4 inch of rain in 24 hours it overflows. Pumping piss shit and debris into our rivers. Joy.

    • @BrendanEvan
      @BrendanEvan 4 года назад

      Matty Anderson I thought the same thing at first but then remembered new construction has to pass strict regulations for those types of situations. Generally the municipality decides what that means. For LA a 100-year flood= XX gallons per minute per square mile or whatever and his lot covers XYZ square feet so they can figure out the "maximum" amount he needs to be responsible for. Now if it exceeds that, yeah....problems.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  5 лет назад +63

      Because of how rarely it rains here, the cost of building a storage tank on the roof (as well as the weight reinforcement of the roof itself), the filtration system, and integration with the standard plumbing system would be extraordinarily expensive compared to how much actual water came from it. In a very rainy climate I could see that working though.

    • @marc07112
