Stormwater Management

Assisting With All Storm Water Management Issues

In recent years, storm water management issues have come to the forefront of land development and construction ventures. Drainage analysis, water quality issues, and erosion control practices are critical elements of all construction projects. Lewis, Yockey & Brown Inc. can assist in all aspects of these issues.

Drainage Planning and Design

LYB provides a wide range of drainage expertise and can assist you with the planning and design of your storm sewer collection systems, storm water pumping stations, detention facilities, dams and lakes, hydraulic analysis of floodplains, roadway culverts, infiltration basins, biofiltration areas, and erosion and sedimentation control. LYB can also assist you in the permit approval process from local, state and national regulatory agencies.

Storm Water Systems

LYB can plan and design a storm water system for commercial sites, residential and business subdivisions, or municipal facilities. LYB can also design roadway culverts and small-span bridges. We can provide design calculations and aid in the acquisition of IDOT permits as well as state and national floodplain or floodway construction permits. LYB uses computer models for the analysis and design of detention basins and other storm water structures and can model the water surface through your site, subdivision or municipality to determine the impact of proposed projects on the potential for downstream flooding.

Water Quality Control

Water quality control can also be accomplished through LYB designs. LYB can plan and design drainage systems that filter or clean the stormwater through the use of rain gardens, sedimentation basins, infiltration basins, and bio-retention facilities. Erosion and sedimentation control can be handled with the design of Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and various other water quality control processes. LYB’s analysis of your site may be used as justification for reductions in municipal detention/drainage fees, or LYB can help you set up fee structures for your municipal stormwater control systems.
