Riparia provides stormwater construction and installation services that range from installing new drainage infrastructure on active construction sites to replacing aging or damaged stormwater structures at established properties.
Our crews are experienced working in construction environments and bring hands-on knowledge of both construction stormwater general permits and the proper function of stormwater assets, ensuring that what gets installed performs the way it’s designed to. Whether you need comprehensive ground-up stormwater construction, reliable Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) development, or ongoing site stormwater management, Riparia brings the professionalism, equipment, and technical knowledge to deliver the work right.
Construction contractors who need a qualified partner to manage stormwater on their job site—including erosion control installation, detention tank cleaning, compliance inspections, and structure cleaning throughout the course of active construction.
Municipalities, NGOs, and industrial facilities looking to install new stormwater infrastructure such as stormwater planters, manholes, and pipe connections as part of a capital improvement or site upgrade project.
HOAs and property management companies that need to replace broken, damaged, or deteriorated catch basins and stormwater structures on their properties to restore function and maintain compliance.
When you work with Riparia on a stormwater construction project, you get a crew that shows up prepared, works efficiently, and communicates clearly from mobilization through punchlist closeout. Our crews operate safely in marked trucks, high-visibility vests, and branded hard hats, so there’s never a question about who’s on site or whether they belong there. Throughout your project, you can expect:
We begin by discussing your project goals and reviewing all relevant documentation—as-builts, engineering reports, geotechnical reports, and permit requirements. This up-front investment ensures the scope is accurate, the approach is sound, and there are no surprises once work begins.
We prepare a detailed scope and fee for your review, answer any questions, and execute a contract before any work is scheduled, providing clarity on scope and cost before mobilization.
We mobilize all necessary crew, equipment, and materials to the site and execute the construction scope while working efficiently, safely, and in a manner consistent with site-specific requirements and regulatory conditions.
Upon completing the primary scope of work, we confirm substantial completion with the client and any applicable regulatory agencies, ensuring the project meets the standards required for sign-off.
Any remaining items identified at substantial completion are tracked and resolved promptly. We don’t consider a project finished until the punchlist is closed.
At project close, we provide written maintenance recommendations and associated costs so that you’re set up for long-term upkeep and performance.
Aging stormwater infrastructure degrades over time, while growing development places increasing demands on systems never designed to handle current flow volumes. New construction and timely replacement are essential to keeping stormwater systems functional, compliant, and protective of the communities they serve.
As development changes runoff patterns and increases flow volumes, older systems fall short of what’s needed. Properly engineered new infrastructure brings capacity up to modern standards.
Concrete cracks, metal corrodes, and connections fail. Infrastructure that has reached the end of its serviceable life needs replacement—not just maintenance—for the broader system to continue functioning. Deferring that replacement can increase cost and risk.
Well-installed stormwater infrastructure is functional, clean, and unobtrusive. Replacing failing structures improves property appearance and delivers a tangible benefit to the surrounding community.
Stormwater systems are a frontline defense for downstream rivers, lakes, and marine environments. Quality installation and timely replacement protect the ecological systems that wildlife and communities depend on.
Riparia partnered with a private homeowners association to restore a stormwater treatment facility consisting of detention infrastructure and a large vegetated flow-through swale with an augmented underdrain system. The facility had experienced reduced performance due to sediment accumulation, damaged infrastructure components, and drainage issues identified during City inspections.
Following unsuccessful repair efforts by another contractor, the HOA engaged Riparia to evaluate existing conditions and develop a comprehensive rehabilitation approach to restore functionality, improve long-term performance, and return the facility to compliance.
Installation, inspection, and maintenance of erosion control BMPs on active construction sites to protect exposed soils and maintain stormwater permit compliance.
Routine cleaning, inspection, and maintenance of installed stormwater structures to keep them performing long after construction is complete.
Whether you’re breaking ground on a new system or replacing infrastructure that’s no longer up to standard, Riparia has the crew and the know-how to get it done right. Contact us today to discuss your project.
