Drainage
As our communities continue to develop, the burden on drainage infrastructure increases exponentially each year. In fact, for most new development projects, the primary challenge to engineers is how to adequately deal with stormwater runoff and reduce its impacts on adjacent properties. The proper design of adequate drainage facilities is not a guessing game but a process that requires experience and knowledge combined with the correct use of new technologies!
Whether your stormwater issues are local or regional, a new system or improvements to existing ones, Morrison-Shipley’s engineers have the experience and technical skills to design successful solutions. We have designed many new or upgraded drainage facilities for our municipal and private development clients that range from local systems upgrades in very tight urban confines to new regional systems having limited constraints. Additionally, Morrison-Shipley has completed numerous FIRM revisions that in many cases have allowed our clients to regain use of valuable lands that were once included within regulated areas. In summary, our drainage experience runs the full gamut of those required on most projects!
