440 ft Drainage Run

Site Evaluation and Existing Issues

The property was experiencing ongoing erosion issues within a residential drainage ditch.

 

Access to the site was extremely limited, with a narrow entry and a steep drop of approximately 30 feet leading to the back of the property where the ditch was located.

 

Years of sediment buildup had restricted proper water flow and contributed to continued erosion.

Planning and Technical Strategy

Due to the limited access and severe elevation change, a detailed plan was developed to safely transport and place fill material and rip-rap down to the work area.

 

The strategy focused on restoring proper flow, stabilizing the ditch, and preventing future erosion while working within the tight physical constraints of the site.

Execution and Erosion Control Work

Sediment was excavated along the entire drainage run to re establish proper flow.
Geo-Textile fabric was installed throughout the ditch to provide separation and stabilization.

 

The channel was then carefully packed and lined with #4 riprap along a total run of approximately 440 feet, creating a durable and permanent erosion control solution.

Project Outcome

The completed drainage ditch now functions as designed, effectively controlling erosion and improving water flow. Despite the challenging conditions, the finished project is not only highly functional but also visually clean and well defined, greatly improving both performance and appearance of the property.
