Overview
Sustainable Architecture, Unmatched Ease of Installation
Our sustainable sitework solutions support both private and public sector clients by offering high-performance, resource-efficient infrastructure—projects that manage regulatory mandates while driving local economic growth.
By rethinking the traditional streetscape, we create high-quality, climate-adaptive urban spaces that are socially equitable and deeply considerate of the broader watershed context. We achieve this without adding complexity to the construction schedule. Our systems are engineered for rapid, straightforward deployment, dropping directly into standard utility profiles to minimize road closures, reduce labor hours, and eliminate the need for specialized heavy machinery.
Our Services
Our offerings include specialized products designed to optimize stormwater management and enhance urban landscapes. We provide tailored solutions that improve both drainage efficiency and environmental health.
Rethink the Streetscape: The Subsurface Revolution in Urban Stormwater
Every heavy downpour presents the same costly challenge to our cities: overwhelmed storm drains, flooded streets, and water forcing its way into residential basements. Traditional "gray" infrastructure—tearing up entire roadways to install larger concrete mains or massive subterranean vaults—is financially crippling, highly disruptive, and slow to implement.
Catchment Siteworks LLC introduces a high-capacity, low-cost alternative that stops flooding at the curb line before it ever reaches the sewer main. By transforming narrow, underutilized sidewalk zones into powerful subsurface reservoirs, we turn civil liabilities into ecological assets without breaking the municipal budget.
The 4-Foot Breakthrough: The Ultimate Narrow Footprint
Urban utility corridors are crowded, and right-of-way space is at a premium. Our system requires a narrow footprint of only 4 feet wide, making it uniquely ideal for dense urban environments.
-
Zero Utility Conflict: Slips easily between existing gas, water, and telecom lines without requiring expensive utility relocations.
-
Preserves Sidewalk Flow: Fits seamlessly into the standard tree pit or furnishing zone, leaving pedestrian walkways entirely unobstructed.
Engineered Multi-Layer Performance
The Drainblock Matrix: High-performance, civil-grade Drainblocks quickly swallow rapid influxes of water, holding it safely below the surface until it can naturally infiltrate or transpire.
Biochar-Enhanced Filtration: Runoff entering the system passes through a specialized biochar-infused media layer. This natural filter scrubs heavy metals, automotive hydrocarbons, and urban pollutants from the water column, protecting local water tables.
Subsurface Distribution & Hydration: Captured water isn’t just trapped; it is intelligently managed. It slowly hydrates the urban tree canopy via capillary action while safely recharging groundwater, mitigating the urban heat island effect naturally.
High-Capacity Storage. Low-Cost Implementation
Our proprietary Drainblock System redefines urban hydrology for civil engineers, private developers, and municipal planners. Instead of routing toxic runoff into aging, overloaded sewer systems, our system intercepts and infiltrates stormwater directly where it lands. By replacing deep-utility excavations and costly concrete vaults with a hyper-efficient, narrow four-foot profile, we provide macro-level attenuation that meets stringent regulatory credits while dramatically lowering capital expenditures.
This structural asset slips easily into crowded right-of-ways, allowing just 24 linear feet of installation to safely store 2,000 gallons of rapid runoff. By capturing water at the curb, it prevents the localized bottlenecks that cause street flooding and residential basement back-ups. Catchment Siteworks delivers a highly scalable, low-cost solution that relieves municipal drainage networks, protects property values, and naturally hydrates the urban canopy.
Benefits
Drastically Lower Cost of Implementation
Traditional civil stormwater projects require massive capital expenditures, deep excavation, heavy shoring, and months of street closures that paralyze local commerce. Because our system is modular, lightweight, and requires a minimal footprint, installation costs are dramatically lower. You get macro-level stormwater retention at a fraction of the cost of traditional gray infrastructure.
Stopping Street Flooding at the Source
When localized cloudbursts hit, standard catch basins bottleneck instantly. By installing continuous, 4-foot-wide bioswales lined with our high-capacity Drainblocks parallel to the curb, we create an immediate pressure-valve for the street. Water is pulled off the asphalt and into the subsurface matrix instantly, keeping transit corridors open and clear.
Protecting Basements and Foundations
Subsurface water migration during heavy storms is the primary culprit behind residential basement flooding and costly foundation failures in dense urban neighborhoods. By capturing and managing the first flush of stormwater within an engineered, controlled catchment zone, our system prevents the surrounding water table from rising chaotically against subterranean walls.
