Controling Erosion and Stormwater Runoff

Erosion is a natural process where materials like soil and rock are slowly worn away by wind and rain. Without proper controls this could be catistrophic for your next construction project. The foundation of the building and parking lot, including underground utilities, would suffer costly damages. 

Stormwater management is critical to controling erosion and protecting the environment around your construction site. Goals of stormwater management include:

• Reducing flodding to protect people and property
• Controling damage on public stormwater drainage systems
• Supporting healthy waterways, including, streams, rivers, and the Chesapeake Bay
• Creating healthier communities

Trees and vegetation provide root systems that help with erosion and provide natural stormwater management. When these are removed and land is cleared for construction, like on the Ferguson project, it’s imperitive that measures are taken to control stormwater and prevent erosion.

Stormwater Management Controls

A variety of stormwater management controls are utilized by Comer Construction based on the existing condition of the site and specifics of the new construction, including: 

• Sediment and erosion control
• Bioretention facilities
• Detention and retention ponds
• Wetland restoration and bioswales
• Underground stormwater management systems
