What Is Stormwater Management?
SCA Construction Training
Welcome to the inaugural episode of SCA Construction, where I, Tommy Smith, founder of SCA Construction, dive into the essentials of stormwater management. With over 31 years of experience, I explore what stormwater is and why its management is crucial, especially in urban areas like Atlanta, the "Concrete Jungle." I discuss the impact of non-pervious surfaces and the importance of best management practices (BMPs) such as detention and retention ponds, culverts, and drop inlets. We also examine the aging infrastructure, particularly corrugated metal pipes, and the pressing need for upgrades and maintenance. Join me as we explore the challenges and opportunities in stormwater management and the vital role it plays in our communities.
