Green InfrastructureApplications

Green infrastructure installations like rain gardens, bioswales, and urban trees have become a standard in stormwater system design. Many cities and municipalities leverage green infrastructure strategies along with streetscape improvements to enhance the pedestrian experience while addressing stormwater quality challenges. Bioretention and infiltration-based facilities have the ability to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff and drastically reduce the volume of runoff entering the underground system, thereby extending the life span of existing infrastructure. In addition, green infrastructure installations are known to increase pedestrian safety and improve socioeconomic conditions in many urban settings.
