    Well; when you have a piece of land that is covered with trees/plants and scrape them all off to put in a building/parking lot/structure: all that water now has a lot faster escape from the topography, being that there's nothing to slow it's progress. So, you can put in a retention pond, you can utilize cement multi chambers, or you can set these in the ground, overlapping the ends, and pipe that water from D boxes or catch basins into them. This product doesn't need the large extra area of the property to be lost as use in a retention pond.
    They are installed over a bed of filter fabric and gravel, and then covered over with more gravel and then backfilled and paved over/built over. They last forever, are light enough that two laborers can install a field of them without using heavy equipment (except for digging the hole and backfilling) and therefore easier to handle, don't rot, and don't need direct accessibility to the site from the road (no boom truck required to install like the cement options).

    Some models are also used for septic systems, with the same general idea.

    Enough straps? Was near impossible getting the belly straps in there. 39k lbs.

    One picture is a guy who loaded beside me. He just told them to drop the load ontop of his dunnage and tarps. He clearly didn't care about his equipment. You could also see the steel bending up.

    I saw a driver recently also, he ripped up a brand new expensive tarp to shreds because it was slack. It was his employers tarp so he did not care.
