Earth Development offers a wide variety of stormwater drainage systems,  from collection points to regulated discharge into waterways. These include all types of pipe materials of any diameter, manholes, headwalls, flared end sections, water treatment devices, infiltration and filtering systems, outlet flood control structures, and detention ponds, providing a complete turn-key flood and treatment control system for all commercial and residential systems in Atlanta.

Developers have unique design needs related to the installation of secondary drainage systems in Atlanta. Earth Development is flexible in meeting the needs of every Atlanta client, including truck lines, yard inlets of all types, downspout hits, condensation, and wall drains, among others. This partnership with the client requires detailed scheduling to begin with the installation of the deeper Truck line, using temporary inlets to prevent building flooding. Then, they return to install the shallower part of the system and connect it to the building. Finally, returning to adjust the yard inlets and clean out height to meet the final grades during the landscaping installation. Earth Development prides itself on this coordination effort on an individual building basis, giving Atlanta clients a hassle-free turnover process.

Underground stormwater detention systems, also known as underground ponds, are often utilized in new developments to store and gradually release stormwater. As new developments often convert forest canopies to impermeable asphalt and rooftops, increasing runoff floods downstream properties, which in turn increases the need for a detention system.  New developments frequently encompass the entire property, providing no space for a typical pond. We are experts in installing various types of underground detention, retention, infiltration, and cistern systems in parking areas, under parking decks, and in green spaces around Atlanta.

As stormwater quality regulations become more stringent, engineers design sites with filtration devices that can tackle the most challenging pollutants and provide flexibility to meet the needs of various sites. With over forty years of service in the Atlanta area, Earth Development has installed nearly every type of stormwater filtration system. We possess the expertise to design any commercial or residential development in Atlanta.   

For civil engineers, finding effective and space-efficient methods for managing stormwater is crucial. Bioretention and biofiltration are standout methods for removing contaminants, such as total suspended solids and nutrients, from stormwater runoff, thereby improving water quality. These processes typically involve incorporating filter fabric, stone, and bio-media material into an excavated pond area before landscaping. Earth Development has installed numerous bio-pond designs in Atlanta and has the experience to handle your project efficiently. We are flexible in accommodating the needs of every client’s schedule to ensure that the highest standards of quality control are met and the finished product is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

No project is too challenging for Earth Development as it handles dewatering pumping applications with positive displacement self-priming pumps capable of handling large quantities of water. Earth Development typically uses dewatering systems for infrastructure installation, but also has this requirement for excavating below-grade structures, such as parking decks. Once again, Earth Development has a team with the experience and expertise to tackle any project’s needs.

Earth Development holds a license to install underground fire protection systems for site development in the Atlanta area. This includes the installation of backflow prevention devices, FDC lines with Fire Department Connection points, fire hydrants, and other components for a complete turnkey site fire protection system. We offer in-house hydrostatic testing to ensure a hassle-free turnover process for our clients.

Earth Development’s team undergoes an extremely rigorous safety training program.  We ensure the health and safety of our employees and that the property of others complies with OSHA standards while performing all excavating. With forty years of experience in Atlanta, the Earth Development team has successfully and adequately furnished, installed, and removed almost every type of shoring in the industry. Our clients can be assured that while they focus on building a complete project, Earth Development has the education, training, and equipment to implement the proper shoring for any excavation situation successfully. The shoring procedure begins with extensive preplanning that occurs during the estimating process and is shared with every client. This preplanning then follows a flow-down protocol to field personnel, ensuring that all safety requirements are met and thereby preventing our client, personnel, and the public from being put at risk. This is an Earth Development Policy that is uncompromisable.
