Stormwater Infrastructure Rehabilitation
Stormwater System Failure
Whether your stormwater system has suffered a major failure, is outdated and no longer functioning as designed, or has lacked a preventative stormwater maintenance program for years and is no longer compliant with municipal regulations, it is likely in need of a retrofit or significant rehabilitation.
AQUALIS has Technical Expertise
AQUALIS specializes in innovative retrofit and rehabilitation solutions for stormwater infrastructure to be functional for property owners.
Stormwater infrastructure construction requires technical expertise and experience to ensure the end result is a properly functioning stormwater system that manages water quality and quantity. These large projects often entail engineering surveys, engineering design or redesign, geotechnical engineering, sediment assessments, permitting, regulatory compliance and communication, water quality monitoring and management as well as the actual construction or reconstruction of stormwater assets.
Stormwater Rehabilitations
Rehabilitation of an already existing site is required when a constructed system fails. Rehabilitations are extensive reconstruction jobs that include removing the failing system and implementing a successful replacement. Because ground disturbance is essential to rehabilitation, these jobs often require engineering and construction plans, specialized equipment and authorized permits.

Major rehabs and repairs aren’t always in the budget for property owners, learn more solutions that can extend the life cycle of SCMs.
Assessing Stormwater System Health
After an initial assessment of the stormwater stormwater system on your property, AQUALIS may determine more extensive assessment are necessary. With engineering experience, AQUALIS is well equipped to evaluate the health of your stormwater system and recommend repairs, replacements or redesigns.
Site Assessments include:
- CCTV Camera Inspections
- Hydrologic and Hydraulic Assessments
- Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
- Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT)
- MASW Seismic Survey
Prolong The Life of Your Stormwater System
AQUALIS offers comprehensive maintenance and regular servicing solutions tailored to your property to ensure your stormwater systems operate correctly while extending the life of your investment and avoiding costly NOVs.
Systems We Reconstruct
Vegetated system designed to hold a permanent volume of water at all times with extra capacity for rain events
Vegetated system designed to hold temporary volumes of water during and following a rain event
Vegetated system designed with specific water quality and quantity aspects to channel runoff while promoting infiltration
Vegetated system designed with highly permeable soils that facilitate infiltration and groundwater recharge
Devices installed at pipe or channel outfalls that convert high-velocity channelized flow into diffused sheet flow for infiltration and removal of particulate pollutants
Outfalls are the drainage or discharge point of a stormwater system. They are designed to convey water away from urban areas.
Underground storage for collecting stormwater. Vaults have a storage capacity that regulates the flow of stormwater as it continues further downstream and off property.
These assets are collection points that allow stormwater runoff to enter stormwater assets where the water can be stored.
Underground infrastructure, also called pipelines, that convey stormwater from one place to another.
Underground systems that utilize technology and innovations to removal trash, debris, sediment and hydrocarbons from stormwater.
An underground SCM that allows stormwater to infiltrate back into the groundwater rather than another SCM or body of water.
Designed systems often retrofitted into storm sewers with storage and pollutant removal capabilities where aboveground SCM may be costly or unviable.
Stormwater System Rehabilitation- Durham, North Carolina
A small depression was noted on this property, sparking a preliminary investigation of the site. The investigation found the slope on the back of the property leading to a nature trail had completely collapsed due to the stormwater system failure underneath.
