Job completed for Stormwater System in New Canaan, CT

Completion date: November 11, 2021

Location: New Canaan, CT

About this project:

This New Canaan home experienced severe flooding from Hurricane Ida in the summer of 2021. The driveway is recessed and the drainage for the roof allowed water to flow to and build up in the driveway, breaching the garage doors. Our engineered system involved removing the driveway and creating stormwater storage below the driveway! It was the only place the water could be sent effectively. The new system utilizes CULTEC stormwater chambers, oversized precast trench drains and a precast catch basin with check valve to control the water and then send any overflow out and off the property. We also did some beautiful Belgium block borders and apron to improve on the driveway, before we finally paved the driveway with new asphalt.
