Installation of Stormtech stormwater management chambers

Stormwater Drain & Parking Lot Driggs Idaho

This project involved the installation of a StormTech stormwater management system in Driggs, Idaho. Scope of work included the excavation and placement of StormTech chambers designed for efficient stormwater retention and treatment, as well as the installation of a large-diameter manhole for system access and maintenance. Upon completion of the underground infrastructure, the project area was backfilled, compacted, and paved to restore surface integrity and ensure long-term durability.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column]

The Challenges

Installing StormTech chambers in Driggs, Idaho, presented unique challenges, including managing high groundwater levels and working within a tight timeframe to achieve precise grading. Dewatering was essential to maintain stability during excavation and installation. Additionally, ensuring the proper slope in the parking lot required meticulous coordination to direct drainage efficiently into the manhole while meeting strict project deadlines. Despite these obstacles, the project was successfully completed with durable and effective stormwater management in place.

Custom Home Foundation Excavation in the Mountains

Tractor and landscape showing Final grade, ready for forms

Project Description

Client: J. Plummer
Location: Victor, ID
Year Completed: 2022

The Challenges

A large and very complex dig with over 2500 cubic yards of excavation! This build was on an undeveloped lot. It required building a construction road and clearing the building site of hundreds of large trees. The build-site was on a heavily-sloped mountain, meaning the back side of the excavation was nearly 20-feet deep!
