Stormwater Drainage Design
What is stormwater drainage design?
Stormwater drainage design is an integral component of both site and overall stormwater management design. Drainage design for new developments strives to maintain compatibility and minimize interference with existing drainage patterns; control flooding of property, structures and roadways for design flood events; and minimize potential environmental impacts on stormwater runoff.
Drainage System Components
A drainage system includes catch basins, pipes, and conduits for carrying water, along with stormwater drains, gutters, and downpipes for roof runoff. It also features detention basins, swales, culverts, on-site detention (OSD) systems, and absorption trenches to effectively manage and direct water flow.
Loka Consulting Engineers specializes in providing comprehensive stormwater drainage design services to meet the unique needs of residential, commercial and industrial developments. With a team of experienced engineers, we offer innovative solutions for managing rainwater runoff effectively and sustainably.
