Stormwater and drainage design in Chile
Drainage design to Chilean urban drainage standards, SWMM and infiltration.
What we do
Stormwater collection and drainage for subdivisions, industrial platforms, roads and buildings: collectors, gutters, inlets, soakaways, subsurface drains and groundwater control.
When groundwater governs the design we use wellpoints and groundwater modelling.
When you need it
- Subdivisions and buildings that need SERVIU or DOH approval.
- Industrial sites with ponding problems.
- Works with a high water table.
Software and standards
SWMM, MODFLOW and in-house soakaway spreadsheets. Chilean Urban Drainage Manual (MINVU/DOH) and stormwater master plans.
Typical deliverables
- Hydrology study
- Calculation report
- Drawings
- Infiltration check
- Submission to SERVIU or DOH
What we need from you
Topographic survey, site or architectural plans and, if available, geotechnical or infiltration tests.
Frequently asked questions
Can stormwater always be infiltrated?
No. It depends on the soil and the water table, so we check with tests before designing soakaways or drains.
