Underground Infrastructure
Managing Underground Assets
Belowground infrastructure may also be called traditional or “grey” infrastructure as these assets are often constructed of metals and concrete that do not naturally filter water. Underground stormwater control measures are often used in conjunction with above ground assets.
Inspecting & Maintining Stormwater Assets
Large underground storage is more common in dense urban areas where real estate is expensive or in climates where aboveground assets may freeze. These underground assets are hidden from view and therefore are more likely to be neglected. They must be inspected and cleaned by professionals. Inspections are often done utilizing small video cameras that can be controlled remotely. Large underground assets may be physically inspected or repaired by a certified confined space professional team. Maintenance is often performed utilizing a vactor truck, where a large machine can dislodge and remove accumulated sediment.
Repairs to Underground Infrastructure
Repairing Underground Infrastructure
Due to their confined nature, these assets often have limited accessibility and may require confined space entry. Utilizing CCTV and root cause analysis, stormwater professionals at AQUALIS can identify the original cause of issues and perform a dedicated repair.
Failures include:
- Corrosion
- Cracks
- Clogging
- Joint Separation
- Root Infiltration

An underground SCM that allows stormwater to infiltrate back into the groundwater rather than another SCM or body of water.
Underground systems that utilize technology and innovations to removal trash, debris, sediment and hydrocarbons from stormwater.
Underground pumps that move water from low elevation upward toward treatment centers.
Manholes & Junction Boxes
Access points into underground infrastructure that allow cleaning and maintenance.
Patented technology that collected runoff underground and provides treatment.
Underground pipeline that conveys water from urban properties to receiving waters.
Large underground storage tanks that collect runoff to reduce flooding.
Underground System Rehabilitations
This property owner called AQUALIS to assist in remediating a corrective notice listing fifteen deficiencies. The main concern was a stormwater vault with 600,000 gallons of potentially contaminated stormwater.
