Stormwater + Drainage

Water always finds the weak part of the plan.

Drainage design, stormwater management, flooding investigations, culverts, erosion control, and corrective engineering for existing and proposed conditions.

Drainage engineering

Understand where the water comes from, where it goes, and what gets in the way.

DRJ works on both new drainage systems and existing flooding problems. The first task is often not designing a pipe or basin. It is figuring out why the water is behaving the way it is.

Typical questions

What changed? What controls? What can actually be fixed?

01

Existing Flooding

Evaluate topography, drainage paths, structures, obstructions, downstream constraints, and contributing runoff.

02

New Development

Coordinate grading, collection systems, storage, discharge, erosion control, and regulatory requirements.

03

Localized Problems

Address swales, yard drainage, roadway runoff, wall drainage, utility conflicts, and construction-related issues.

Field-driven

A drainage model is useful. The site still has the final vote.

Observed flow paths, grades, outlet conditions, maintenance, debris, settlement, and how the site actually gets built can control performance just as much as the calculation.

Start with the water path.

Then solve the hydraulics, grading, structures, and construction details around it.
