Stormwater Drainage Systems
Complete stormwater drainage construction — storm drains, detention basins, retention basins, and drainage infrastructure designed for New Mexico's intense monsoon events.
New Mexico Stormwater: Design for the Monsoon
Stormwater design in New Mexico cannot be based on national norms — New Mexico's monsoon season delivers intense, short-duration rainfall events that produce peak flow rates far higher than the same annual rainfall distributed evenly. A 10-year storm in Albuquerque can deliver 1–2 inches of rain in 30 minutes. Drainage systems must be sized for these peak events, not average conditions. We design and construct drainage systems that protect your property and downstream infrastructure.
- Storm drain mainline, lateral, inlet, and outlet structure installation
- Detention and retention basin grading, lining, outlet structure construction
- SWPPP preparation and BMP installation for NMED construction permit compliance
- Channel and swale grading with erosion protection for concentrated flow areas

NMED Permit Compliance
Development projects disturbing one or more acres require an NMED NPDES Construction General Permit before breaking ground. We prepare the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP), obtain the NOI, install all required BMPs, maintain them throughout construction, and file the NOT at project completion — keeping your project in compliance with state and federal stormwater requirements.

Stormwater Drainage Scopes
Complete stormwater infrastructure from conveyance through treatment and detention.
Storm Drain Systems
Reinforced concrete pipe, HDPE, or corrugated metal storm drain mainlines, laterals, junction structures, catch basins, and outlet protection — sized for design storm flows.
Detention Basins
Excavated detention basins that capture peak stormwater runoff and release it at a controlled rate to protect downstream infrastructure from increased post-development flows.
Retention Basins
Retention basins that capture runoff for on-site infiltration — required by many New Mexico jurisdictions for commercial development to offset impervious surface impacts.
Swales & Channels
Earthen, grass-lined, concrete, or riprap-lined drainage swales and channels to convey stormwater across the site to collection points and outfall structures.
