Stormwater Management Systems

TAI strives to design effective stormwater management systems using best management practices. We understand that it is imperative to design a system must function in accordance with jurisdictional requirements, but shall also enhance the aesthetics of the site and minimize maintenance.  Best management practices and “Green Engineering” such as retention basins, vegetated swales and staged restrictors are commonly incorporated within TAI’s projects.

“…all that rain on Friday stayed exactly where it belonged, in the retention areas.  All the retention areas around us were in use during that storm, but the building stayed high and dry.  Without your planning and engineering design, I’m sure we would have needed a boat to get in and out, but the drainage was perfect … Kudos to the City of St. Charles and Trotter and Associates.” – Jerry Bleck, Director Tri-Com
