At Harbor Dredge and Dock, we deliver innovative stormwater management solutions designed to tackle drainage issues and erosion control with precision. Our customized approaches not only reduce environmental impact but also support the long-term health and sustainability of local water resources.
Trusted by numerous counties throughout Central Virginia, we maintain Stormwater Best Management Practice (BMP) systems under ongoing annual contracts—ensuring reliability, compliance, and peace of mind for our municipal partners.
James River High School BMP Structures
James River High School in Chesterfield County Virginia opened its doors to students in the Fall of 1994. When originally built, three stormwater BMP’s were constructed to retain, clean and manage all the stormwater runoff from the schools’ roofs, roadways and parking lots. In 2015, the implemented stormwater systems were sited for not properly retaining, cleaning and managing the stormwater as it was designed to do because of the lack of proper maintenance to the system. HDD Stormwater Management Construction Team rebuilt all three BMP’s to meet the new Chesapeake Bay Watershed Act regulations in a 9-month time frame. The first BMP is a Wet Pond BMP with aquatic benches and a forebay system, the second BMP Wet Pond BMP with forebay and Third BMP is a Wet BMP with an oil separator. All three BMP’s flow directly into the James River.
Russell Road Drainage
We have annual contracts with the counties of Albemarle, Chesterfield, Henrico and James City.
In 2024 we made improvements to the stormwater drainage system on Russell Road in Chesterfield County. We installed a construction entrance using bedding stone, to keep ground disturbance to a minimum, then excavated and removed the existing 18” PVC pipe and installed new 30” PVC pipe.
We can mitigate your drainage problems!
