Planning a storm sewer installation

Storm sewer carries rainwater and runoff from roofs, streets and paved areas to an outlet, and a new storm system for a parking lot, a road or a building site has to be designed and built so that water keeps moving.

The main elements:

• Inlets and catch basins where water enters, placed at low points of the paved surface.
• Pipe sized for the flow it will carry and laid at a steady downhill grade.
• Structures such as manholes or junction boxes where pipes meet or change direction.
• An outlet into a public system, a ditch or a detention area, as the owner of that outlet allows.

Building it follows the design grades closely: the outlet elevation is confirmed first, then the pipe is laid upstream from it so that every section falls toward the outlet. Existing utilities crossing the route are located through Indiana 811 and exposed with hydro excavation, and the new system is inspected before the surface is built over it.

We also handle water, sewer and conduit work for homeowners, businesses, developers and public owners.

Notice before digging

Indiana 811 receives locate requests under Indiana Code chapter 8-1-26. Indiana law (IC 8-1-26-16) requires at least two full working days of notice and no more than 10 calendar days, and a ticket is valid for 20 calendar days.
