Stormwater Detention and Drainage Systems in Frisco, TX

Engineered stormwater management and drainage infrastructure for North Texas industrial sites.

Stormwater management for industrial sites in North Texas has become increasingly complex as municipal authorities implement stricter requirements for detention, water quality, and flood control. We construct stormwater systems that meet these requirements while maximizing developable site area and minimizing long-term maintenance obligations.

Detention system design balances regulatory compliance with practical site development considerations. Surface detention ponds consume valuable site area that might otherwise support parking or future expansion. Underground detention systems preserve site area but involve higher construction costs and ongoing maintenance access requirements. We evaluate options during preconstruction to identify approaches that best serve project objectives.

Water quality requirements increasingly accompany detention obligations. Extended detention features, vegetated swales, and manufactured treatment devices all address water quality requirements through different mechanisms. We coordinate with civil engineers to implement water quality features that meet regulatory requirements with practical construction and maintenance characteristics.

Drainage infrastructure conveys runoff from paved areas, building roofs, and landscaped zones to detention facilities and ultimately to off-site discharge points. Pipe sizing, inlet locations, and grade designs all influence system performance. We construct drainage systems that handle design storms while providing reliable performance over the system lifecycle.

Scope Typically Includes

  • Detention system construction - surface or underground
  • Water quality feature installation
  • Storm drainage pipe installation
  • Inlet and outlet structure construction
  • Erosion control during construction
  • System testing and inspection
  • As-built documentation
  • Coordination with regulatory inspections

Frequently Asked Questions

How do stormwater requirements vary across North Texas municipalities?
Requirements vary significantly by jurisdiction. Collin County cities, Denton County cities, and Dallas area municipalities each have specific detention, water quality, and drainage requirements. We coordinate with civil engineers familiar with local requirements during project development.
What are the options for detention systems on constrained sites?
Underground detention systems using concrete structures or manufactured systems preserve site area for development. These systems typically cost more than surface detention but may be necessary on sites where available area limits surface pond options.
How do you ensure long-term drainage system performance?
Quality construction with proper grades, pipe bedding, and inlet configurations provides reliable performance. We construct systems to meet design specifications and provide as-built documentation that supports ongoing maintenance planning.
What maintenance access do detention systems require?
Both surface and underground detention require periodic maintenance access. We coordinate access provisions during design to ensure maintenance can be performed without disruption to site operations.
