Stormwater Management

Sustainable stormwater management requires a multidisciplinary approach to drainage that considers conveyance of runoff water and the complex interactions and priorities between the urban and natural environments. Recognition of the environmental impacts of urbanization, increased stormwater runoff and decreased water quality has led to new regulations for stormwater management that can require sophisticated analysis and mitigation measures. Stormwater management has evolved into a discipline that often requires the specialist services, such as those provided by R.F. Binnie and Associates. We have been involved in many projects that require our capabilities as storm facility designers and our knowledge of stormwater management, ranging from conceptual plans to detailed design. We provide the following services: Planning:

• Conceptual Drainage Plans
• Storm Water Management/Flood Control Plans
• Best Management Practices (BMP) Evaluation and Plan Development
• Drainage Problem Resolution
• Permit Applications and Programs
• Mapping and Linking to GIS
• Topographic, Boundary and Utility Surveys

Hydrology:

• IDF Curves
• Major Flood Routing
• Major and Minor Systems
• Continuous Simulation
• Runoff Routing and Pollutant Attenuation Modeling
• Pollutant Load Generation Modeling

Hydraulics:

• Analysis by Computer Models
  • Creeks to Rivers
  • Bridges
  • Culverts
  • Storm Sewers
  • Pumping Stations
• Municipal Services
• Parks & Sports Facilities
• Transportation & Highways
• Roads & Paving
• Land Development
• Alternative Procurement
