Stormwater
Incorporating sustainable features into urban settings can dramatically impact stormwater runoff and mitigate flood risk.
Whenever possible and practical, McKim & Creed incorporates design elements like pervious surfaces that decrease surface runoff, develops solutions that protect infrastructure during high water and flood events, creates land plans that showcase low-impact development, and engineers pollution prevention strategies that minimize environmental impacts. Our sewer system evaluation specialists assess infrastructure conditions and pinpoint problem areas; our water asset managers detect leaks and engineer designs that reduce water loss; and our stormwater engineers design projects that help protect communities and infrastructure during high water events.
