STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Alada supports stormwater management design for land development projects by coordinating drainage patterns, collection systems, storage areas, grading and stormwater facilities within the overall site design.
WHAT IS STORMWATER MANAGEMENT?
Stormwater management addresses the collection, conveyance, storage and controlled discharge of runoff generated by developed sites. Conceptual and detailed support depends on project criteria, available hydrologic information and the agreed engineering scope.

CAD & SOFTWARE WORKFLOW
Civil 3D may be used for surfaces, grading, pipe networks, profiles and plan production. Hydrologic/hydraulic modeling software should be used only where verified as part of Alada’s technical workflow and agreed scope.
Typical Inputs:
Topographic survey • Existing drainage information • Proposed site plan • Hydrologic criteria and design storms • Soil/infiltration information where applicable • Receiving-water constraints • Jurisdictional stormwater criteria • Utility and roadway information
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
- Verify project inputs, design criteria and scope before design development.
- Check coordination between related disciplines and identify apparent conflicts.
- Review geometry, elevations, dimensions and key design relationships appropriate to the service.
- Check calculations, model outputs or quantity data where included in the agreed scope.
- Review revisions against approved comments and current design information.
- Perform a final technical and deliverable completeness review before release.

FAQ’s
Can Alada perform hydraulic calculations?
Hydraulic calculations can be included where they are within the agreed scope and supported by verified software and technical capabilities.
Can open channels be coordinated with site grading?
Yes. Channel geometry and grading relationships should be developed together to establish practical flow paths and tie-ins.
Technical Considerations
The service depends on the quality and completeness of available survey, design criteria, existing-condition information, jurisdictional requirements and other project inputs. Alada performs work within the agreed scope and based on project information and criteria provided or established by the project team. Where engineering calculations, modeling, permitting decisions, professional certification or sealing are required, the responsible licensed professional should review, approve and certify the applicable work in accordance with project requirements and applicable law.
