Stormwater Management

Keck + Wood provides stormwater management services that support effective runoff control and water quality protection. We design detention, retention, and conveyance systems tailored to site conditions and regulatory requirements. Our team evaluates grading, soils, and drainage patterns to develop solutions that function efficiently. These services help manage stormwater impacts while supporting development and infrastructure needs.

Keck + Wood has partnered with the City on stormwater projects for over 10 years, including developing the Stormwater Master Plan by analyzing drainage basins and identifying flood-prone areas. A prioritized Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was created, leading to the completion of several key projects. These include the Grand Oak Drive Culvert, College Avenue Detention Pond, Manchester Creek Tributary 1 Analysis, and Shadowbrook Stream Study, among others.

Keck + Wood developed a Stormwater Annual Contract to help the City implement its capital improvements program funded by the stormwater utility fee, accelerating project timelines. This approach allowed Keck + Wood to design and manage numerous stormwater projects for Doraville, totaling over $2 million. A key project was the McClave Drive Stormwater Repairs, which expanded from a $110,000 pipe replacement to a multi-phased project with a $520,000 budget due to deteriorating upstream infrastructure. The Moss Oak Drive stormwater rehabilitation in Doraville involved aging corrugated metal pipes in the Oakcliff neighborhood, which required trenchless rehabilitation methods. Cured in place pipe (CIPP) using ultraviolet curing was chosen to address the system’s geometry and accessibility issues while minimizing environmental impacts.

The subject culvert is located in the Daves Creek basin, adjacent to the Grandview Subdivision in the Windermere Golf Community, and conveys water underneath an earthen embankment which carries the Amenity Access Road.  The culvert, which was designed and built in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, consists of three 84” corrugated metal pipes (CMP) which are connected on the upstream end to a concrete weir wall that serves as a regional detention structure.  Due to deficiencies in the CMP’s, a major storm event on October 10, 2020 led to a major failure of the culvert and washout of the embankment.  Keck + Wood provided a PER report with reconstruction options with cost estimates.  Keck + Wood also prepared construction plans and provided bidding and construction administration services.

The Flippen Trail culvert replacement project was an emergency stormwater project which replaced a failed triple 60” corrugated metal pipe culvert with stacked stone headwalls.  KW provided a cost-effective design alternative that reduced impacts to adjacent property owners and complied with relevant State, County and City guidelines.  The design also included a no-rise certification, proposed HEC-RAS models, HEC-RAS report and construction plans for the proposed two 66” and one 84” concrete pipe (embedded 18” for aquatic passage) and custom cast-in-place 15’ tall headwalls.
