Stormwater Evaluation at Remnant City Carpet

Remnant City is a family-owned business, operating in the Pittsburgh area for 50 years. Over the decades, several flood events have caused significant damage to the business. Rhea was tasked with completing a site survey and stormwater evaluation to develop a strategy to prevent future flood damage.

Rhea evaluated the current site conditions, analyzed the most recent large-scale flood event, and completed a watershed and runoff analysis for the site’s drainage area.

Our analyses showed that the surrounding drainage systems had been inadequately designed or had deteriorated over time. To support a more efficient drainage system, Rhea recommended the regrading of upstream paved areas and vegetated channels and the construction of additional stormwater infrastructure to handle the sheet flow of stormwater.
