Storm Drainage Management
Storm water isn't something most people think about until there is an actual storm outside demanding our attention. Commercial projects have surveys and parameters to ensure that storm water is not an issue, but that likely isn't the case at your farm or residence. Even a small drain pipe can remove a lot of storm water, and you might be surprised how affordable it can be to get this done. The most common issue we have seen is roof water not being properly routed. In many cases that means you end up flooding your own parking lot or basement with your own roof water. Ask us how we can help with your particular needs.
Underground piping
Piping is essential to manage storm water as well as provide drainage in areas of a high water table or a natural spring. Underground drainage pipe comes in a wide variety of materials, interior dimensions, ratings, and configurations. In addition to selecting a suitable duct, the installation slope and elevation is also important, as is the backfill when considering future use. We use modern laser equipment that can automatically measure your site to ensure that we place with precision.
Prefab Storm Catch Basins
Part of a good storm water management plan is the implementation of precast concrete. Storm boxes such as shown here are installed in the ground and serve as both an inspectable junction box for underground storm drain pipes, while also collecting surface water. Compaction equipment is used to assist for an installation without settling or shifting.
Erosion Control
Storm water can literally pick up and move an unbelievable amount of soil if not properly prevented. In a lot of cases some form of vegetation will anchor the dirt such as grass in a farm field waterway. In extreme areas where water will flow with speed, rock or aggregate will endure better, working with larger and heavier stone in areas where the water will be at an increased depth.
Foundation Drains
Retaining Walls
Good drainage management is not only dealing with storm water from above, but also working to redirect ground water from below. There is a lot of drainage taking place in this photo, but it's below ground and out of sight. There is a corrugated pipe with positive drainage surrounding the foundation, as well as drainage on the outside and inside of these retaining walls. Clearworks completed this drainage work as well as the concrete foundations and retaining walls, and it still looks great years later.
