Whether you’re a commercial or residential property owner, if your property is on or near a floodplain, you’ve got to mitigate against expected heavy rainfall. At this recent project, our owner / client needed to make changes in order to prevent flooding into their commercial crawlspace in a fully tenanted four unit commercial building. We worked with the owner to build the consulting team, bringing together the geotechnical and hydrotechnical engineers to design an underground drainage and pump system to deal with stormwater surges during heavy rainfalls. These surges were exacerbated by the adjacent coastal pressures during king tides, adding almost three feet of water into the crawlspace. Our work here with the municipality, the consultants, our trades and the improvements we’ve made have now restored the building to its original condition and the tenants have moved back in and their operations are now up and running. Stormwater management and peace of mind. With the expected storms this winter and into spring of next year, it’s a good idea to get eyes on your property’s vulnerabilities for yourself, your tenants and your insurance requirements.
Think roofing, building envelope, gutters and downspouts, underground drainage systems, stormwater collection, retention, and discharge.
