The As requirements for stormwater infiltration and BMPs have
become more and more stringent, Brickhouse Environmental has become recognized as a "go to" expert in stormwater
management, design and permitting. Our staff of Professional Engineers, Geologists and Soil Scientists have participated the
past several years on stormwater advisory committees with the PADEP, HBS, PCPG and PAPPS, and as a result can help to expedite
successful permitting. In addition, we have provided successful litigation support and expert testimony in recent stormwater
management lawsuits related to stormwater design, property damage and preserving property owners' rights. Our core areas of
expertise include:
BMP
Testing
The Brickhouse Environmental team of engineers, geologists,
and soil scientists meet the Stormwater BMP Manual definition of "qualified professionals", capable of observing
and evaluating conditions that affect BMP performance.
·Test Pit Evaluations
·Infiltration and Permeability Testing
·Groundwater Mounding
BMP Design
Brickhouse Environmental uses all available BMPs to cost-effectively balance the critical stormwater functions
of peak and volume runoff control with site features and restrictions, including:
·Subsurface Infiltration
·Runoff Capture and Reuse
·Constructed Wetlands and Wet
Ponds
·Riparian and Landscape Buffers
·Level Spreaders and Retention Structures
·Land Application in Karst Terrain
Construction Management
New changes to Erosion and Sediment Control regulations require construction oversight and as-built certification
of post-construction stormwater facilities. Brickhouse Environmental inspectors provide quick response and detailed
field reports.
Post-Construction Inspections and Maintenance
Brickhouse
Environmental provides long-term inspection services to satisfy the revised post-construction stormwater management regulations.
Quarterly monitoring of all stormwater management facilities along with inspections following 2-year storm events identifies
maintenance issues early to prevent the need for costly repairs. Our staff of engineers and scientists are able to assess
structural and non-structural BMPs to assure that stormwater facilities continue to function safely and effectively.
