Stormwater Management

Stormwater management involves managing the flow of runoff that comes from rain and melting snow, and it is essential to the longevity, safety,  and continued success of any property. Basically, when there is an excess of water, and the ground is unable to absorb any more, it becomes runoff that flows downhill and collects in local streams and other nearby water sources. 

While this is a natural process, it can cause significant problems like flooding, erosion, and water pollution, which can cause extensive and costly damage to your property and cause harmful pollutants to seep into the natural environment around it. This does not just leave your property vulnerable but can also have a negative impact on the water quality of our local Chester County water resources.  

We use best management practices like designing and constructing storm drains, erosion, and sediment controls, catch basins and green infrastructure like rain gardens and bio-retention facilities to properly dispose of and contain excess stormwater runoff. 

We are passionate about stormwater management and strive to do our best to improve water quality and protect the properties of all of our clients. We do this by ensuring that every project we take on is up to the strict standards set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. 

From residential properties to construction sites, municipal infrastructure projects, and more, you can trust that Padula Engineering can provide an innovative and effective stormwater management plan that mitigates flood risk and prevents stormwater pollution.
