Charlotte Underground Detention System

NG Companies tackled an extensive cleaning operation for an Underground Detention System filled with over 300 yards of debris in Charlotte, NC. The underground stormwater detention system had accumulated significant sediment and debris over time, severely reducing its capacity and effectiveness in managing stormwater runoff.

The NG team deployed hydrovac equipment to remove the massive volume of accumulated material from the detention system’s chambers. The non-destructive nature of hydrovac technology was critical for this project, as it allowed the crew to safely extract debris without damaging the detention system’s structural components or internal baffles. The operation required careful planning to manage the logistics of removing and disposing of over 300 yards of material.

Upon completion of the cleaning operation, the underground detention system was restored to its full stormwater management capacity. NG Companies’ efficient execution of this large-scale cleaning project helped the property owner avoid costly system replacement while ensuring compliance with local stormwater management regulations and protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding issues.
