Construction of Concrete Storm Drain Structures
A storm drain structure is an essential utility asset that is needed to ensure storm water drainage systems function correctly. These structures consist of drop inlets, a series of pipelines, catch basins, junction chambers, and access holes along with extra miscellaneous components that assist in transporting water through pipelines.
The concrete storm drain structure main function is to provide an access point for storm rainwater to enter the system. These structures must be designed and constructed to allow entry for crews to perform routine inspections and maintenance.
A draining system for capturing rainwater and snow melt from streets and parking lots is necessary to preventing flooding. Storm water must be transported into drainage systems at a rapid pace to ensure traffic safety along city streets and interstate highways. These structures will allow us to prevent wet pavement that can lead to deadly car accidents caused due to reduced pavement skid resistance as oil deposits float over water.

Surface street inlets along curbs are used on highways to drain rainwater fast and lower risks associated with high volumes of traffic traveling at high speed. It is common practice to use urban rainwater drainage systems along street curbs as street gutters and pavement inlets to quickly transport rainwater out of streets into the system.
Standard dominant materials for domestic water pipeline construction use poly vinyl chloride – PVC – or ductile iron pipe – DIP – to carry water to residential and commercial sinks. Reinforced concrete pipe – RCP – is mainly employed in storm drain construction along city streets and highways.
Water flow rate calculations will be the determinant factor for choosing the correct pipe type material, as well as the proper dimensions. Subsurface utility contractors need to follow directions from city inspectors to obtain data for making these precise water flow rate calculations.
This storm drain construction process begins with multiple steps starting with excavating the land. Casey Brothers Construction specializes in these types of construction projects as they have their operations streamlined for these arduous projects.
As the storm water pipeline contractor most qualified for these project types, Casey Brothers Contractors excavate all the trenches at the proper depth and installs pipelines into trenches and attach al the system components per city code. Our carpenters use wood casings to give form for many of the concrete structure components as required by the plans and specifications the city engineering team designs. Casey Brothers Construction handles all the heavy equipment operations to clear the land, dig trenches, and restore the terrain to its original state once all the systems are installed, tested, inspected and commissioned.
Our highly organized project management team holds the key to keeping projects running smoothly on time, under budget, and accident-free. It is advisable to work with established wet utility contractors, such as Casey Brothers Construction who are experienced in storm drain construction.
Our dedicated team provides second-to-none underground wet utility contracting services. We have provided a wide range of pipeline construction services within Texas and Louisiana during our 30+ years in business.
