Specialists for both urban and rural stormwater drainage and reticulation
Stormwater management can differ for urban and rural environments:
Urban: Impermeable surfaces such as roads, pavements, and buildings limit natural water absorption, leading to increased runoff so urban stormwater management focuses on a system of drains, channels, and underground pipes to efficiently collect and redirect water. The emphasis is on preventing flooding, erosion, and water damage to buildings and infrastructure. Allens United Drainage & Earthworks is experienced at working on urban stormwater projects from new installations for subdivisions to repairs to existing stormwater systems in towns and cities.
Rural: In rural environments, the focus is on preventing water runoff that could lead to erosion and if the land is for farming: nutrient loss. Techniques like subsurface drainage and the creation of retention ponds are employed to manage stormwater in a way that aligns with the needs of agriculture and the surrounding ecosystem. Unlike urban areas, rural stormwater management often involves collaboration with farmers and landowners to implement sustainable practices that balance the demands of agriculture with environmental preservation. Allens United Drainage & Earthworks is experienced at installing new and repairing existing stormwater systems on lifestyle blocks and farms.
