What is Stormwater Management?

Padula Engineering Home Landing Civil Engineering
Stormwater management is often one of the last things that people think about when they think of land development, but the truth is that stormwater management is one of the most important things to consider when planning a new project. 

In short, stormwater management encompasses all the structures, systems, and techniques used to manage the stormwater runoff on a property properly. This process always begins by conducting multiple surveys and a thorough site analysis to collect essential information about the boundaries of the property, the soil types and quality, drainage patterns, elevation changes, locations of natural and artificial landmarks, and more.

Once the site analysis has been completed, all of this information is used to create an effective stormwater management plan that utilizes best management practices to meet the specific stormwater requirements of the unique piece of land efficiently and effectively. If implemented correctly, these stormwater management practices can help mitigate a property’s flood risk, prevent potential property damage, and aid in environmental protection.

The Importance of Stormwater Management

Padula Engineering Home Landing Civil Engineering
While most people do not think much about what happens to rainwater after it falls, the importance of properly managing this stormwater runoff cannot be understated.
As rain falls, it naturally gets absorbed by the soil that it falls on, but if the soil is already completely saturated or the rain falls on some other nonabsorbent surface like concrete, gravity will pull it downhill toward the lowest elevation, often into local bodies of water like streams, rivers, and lakes.
While this is completely normal, land development projects radically change the environment, often by replacing surfaces that can absorb water with those that cannot and leveling out slopes. This can lead to drastic changes in drainage patterns that can cause significant problems like property damage due to flooding and environmental damage caused by polluted stormwater runoff flowing into local water sources.  
All of these issues and more make effectively managing stormwater something that is simply too important to ignore.

Our Comprehensive Stormwater Management Services

From construction sites and infrastructure projects to residential and commercial properties, we know that there is no one-size-fits-all stormwater management solution for every project. But our comprehensive offering of stormwater management services makes it easy for you to meet your specific needs, no matter what type of project you are working on. 

Here are just a few of our most common services.

Flood Control

Excess water can cause extensive damage to any property, so it is only natural that mitigating a property’s risk of flooding is one of the biggest concerns when it comes to stormwater management. 

In addition to offering flood elevation certificates, we also specialize in building a wide variety of effective stormwater structures, including catch basins, retention ponds, and rain gardens, that help mitigate these risks.

Pollution Prevention

Flood control is one thing, but environmental protection is potentially an even more important aspect of stormwater management. Preserving local water quality is essential to the health of both our communities and the wildlife surrounding them, and our team is well-equipped to implement erosion and sediment controls, catch basins, filtration systems, and bio-retention facilities that do just that. 

We are also well acquainted with all the rules, regulations, and minimum control measures set forth by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and ensure that all our plans are completely compliant.

Drainage System Maintenance

The work is not finished once the initial stormwater controls are built. Drainage systems need proper maintenance to continue functioning properly, with issues like clogged pipes and storm drains being common problems. No matter what type of stormwater management system you have in place, our maintenance services can keep them working like new for years to come.
