Different Drainage Solutions
When it comes to drainage excavation, there are several different methods that can be used. At Rock Solid Grading & Excavating, we will help our customers decide which one works best for their property and drainage goals. Here are some of the different methods that can be used:
– Trench Drains: Also known as channel drains, trench drains are an effective way to remove water from large surfaces. This might include driveways, parking lots and industrial areas. They are made with a long trench that is lined by either plastic or concrete. Trench drains are usually covered with a grate to help keep debris from clogging the waterway.
– French Drains: This type of drain is mainly used to keep water from damaging foundations. It is a trench that is filled with gravel and includes a perforated pipe to help direct water away from the foundation.
– Culverts: These structures are used to direct water underneath a road, railway or trail. They are usually constructed with metal, concrete or plastic. They play a large role in keeping water from accumulating on roadways and preventing erosion that can ruin trails.
– Retention Ponds: Many urban areas will have retention ponds that are artificial lakes constructed to collect runoff water and slowly release it. They are helpful in preventing flooding and managing stormwater that needs to be safely directed away from communities.
– Swales: These broad, and shallow channels are usually filled with grass and other plants to effectively help capture runoff and help it infiltrate into the ground. It is an aesthetic way to manage runoff.
