Stormwater Management
Stormwater Management at Groundscapes Express, Inc.
Effective stormwater management often involves a variety of techniques on any given site. These can include redirecting, retaining, and breaking up concentrated surface flows by careful placement of our FilterMitts™, FilterMitt Berms™, EarthBlanket, often combined with other site modifications.
- Sub-grading modifications can encourage sheet flow, as opposed to concentrated flow, to reduce erosive potential.
- FilterMitts™ and FilterMitt Berms™ collect and retain water behind the device and allow slow, downstream release.
- Infiltration is increased as the water detained behind the device is given opportunity to move downward through the soil.
- Water-borne sediment is retained behind the device.
- FilterMitts™ can be arranged as check dams in flow channels to reduce flow rates and limit erosive potential of flowing water.
- FilterMitts™ and FilterMitt Berms™ can be installed at the tops of slopes to divert water that might form rills and gullies on the slope.
