Keeping Stormwater in Check

Today’s regulations require every site to manage stormwater runoff. Instead of giving up valuable land for ponds, Atlas builds underground detention systems that meet compliance standards and free up usable space.

We’ve mastered the sequencing and technical know-how these projects demand. Our team works hand in hand with engineers to prevent conflicts and keep schedules on track.

When it comes to complex stormwater management, history and experience matter — and we bring both.

Pre-Job Survey + Planning

Every underground detention system starts with detailed pre-job surveys and submittals. By confirming grades, elevations, and design requirements before construction begins, Atlas ensures clients get exactly what they pay for — on spec and on schedule.

GPS-Controlled Excavation

Our GPS machine control guarantees precise excavation in both elevation and location. Crews use rovers on-site to confirm accuracy at every step, minimizing costly errors and ensuring the underground detention system is installed exactly as planned.

Expert Backfilling + Sequencing

Using the right equipment and methods, Atlas develops custom construction sequences that safeguard joint integrity and detention capacity. Proper backfilling is essential to performance, and we’ve refined this process to deliver reliable, lasting results.

Post-Job Quality Control

Our work doesn’t stop when the system is buried. We verify every underground detention system meets design, compliance, and long-term performance after installation.

Testimonial

Over the past year, I came to know many of your employees. I especially appreciated my encounters with superintendent Dale Whitaker. Whenever he had an issue, he reached out, and we were able to develop a plan of action that allowed us to work through the concern safely. For us, this open line of communication is crucial.
