PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY AGAINST DAMAGE FROM
STORM WATER RUNOFF.
Water on Earth is in continual motion: evaporation, condensation, precipitation. When precipitation (specifically rainfall) hits the ground, its path is determined by a number of factors, including the rate of rainfall, the condition of the soil, the amount of vegetation, the topography of the land, and the extent of urbanization. Impervious surfaces (such as pavements and rooftops) obstruct ground absorption and increase the volume and velocity of runoff. Without proper management, storm water can be destructive and dangerous.
The means by which storm water runoff is collected and routed through and from your site is one of the most critical aspects of site planning.
Design considerations include:
- Safety.
- Agency requirements.
- Coordination with existing facilities.
- Maintenance.
- Aesthetics.
- Cost.
At Lutjen, we pride ourselves on being able to combine all of these considerations into multiple solutions for your site, giving you greater flexibility for your final design. Additionally, Lutjen’s designs incorporate the best management practices (BMP) of the American Public Works Association as well as those of local and regional authorities. This helps to accelerate your project through the approval process. Our expertise in hydrology and hydraulics ensure that your storm water management system is efficient and that your property is protected from the hazards of excessive runoff.
