Green Infrastructure
Proper management of stormwater runoff has become an essential component of any site development. Consideration of on-site storage and infiltration, as well as treatment related to stormwater quality, are all elements to be considered.
Earth Source utilizes various techniques to successfully and creatively accomplish these tasks in a cost-effective manner. These “Green Infrastructure” techniques incorporate soil bio-engineering, infiltration as well as shallow, temporary storage and plant biomass to aid in stormwater absorption and water quality improvement. In any case, these techniques are typically located near the source of stormwater runoff, resulting in smaller, more localized solutions.
Long term management of the completed systems are given priority in the early stages of design to ensure not only an effective solution, but one that can be successfully managed long after construction is complete.
