Detention Basins & Channels

When the water has to go somewhere, we build the somewhere. Detention and retention basins, channel bed and bank stabilization, storm drainage, and culvert outfalls — shaped, lined where needed, and built to carry the flow.

Basins

Excavation, shaping, side-slope stabilization, outlet structures, and access — built to design volume so the basin performs and stays maintainable.

Channels & outfalls

Bed and bank stabilization, transitions, culvert inlets and outfalls, and energy dissipation where velocity would otherwise scour.

Lining & armoring

Where infiltration or scour is a concern, we install liners, turf reinforcement, or geocell armoring rather than defaulting to imported rock.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between detention and retention?
A detention basin holds runoff temporarily and releases it at a controlled rate. A retention basin holds it until it infiltrates or evaporates, with no surface outlet.
Do you line basins and channels?
When the design calls for it, yes — geomembrane and geocomposite liners, turf reinforcement mats, or geocell armoring depending on the goal.
Can you stabilize an existing channel?
Yes. Reshaping, toe protection, and bank armoring on an existing channel is common work for us.
