Challenges

Facility exists within an urbanized business park with strict guidelines regarding stormwater management.
4,000 square foot building expansion generates more stormwater runoff, which must be properly managed on-site.
Receiving regulatory approval and obtaining the building permit was difficult due to stormwater management restrictions.

Solution and Results

Our Solution Blue team members provided the original site assessment, stormwater modeling, design development, construction documents and managed the complete installation. Our design incorporates various sustainable stormwater management techniques including bio-retention basins, permeable parking stalls, and innovative stormwater management technologies.

Implemented an all-in-one system for drainage, storage, filtration and water re-use via sub- surface irrigation.
Selected native plant species to increase the uptake of water and enhance drought resistance.
Through our cooperation with the City and Watershed, the owners successfully obtained a building permit and implemented innovative features that exceeded the stormwater requirements.
