Summit County Stormwater Retrofit Wraps Three Weeks Early

The Summit County stormwater retrofit is finished — three weeks ahead of schedule and fully seeded before the monsoon season it was built to handle.

The project replaced an undersized culvert network with a new detention pond, rock-lined inlets, and a concrete outlet structure designed to meter runoff into the existing channel. Our crews self-performed the earthwork, the structural concrete, and the utility relocations, which is a big part of how the schedule compressed: fewer hand-offs, one team accountable for all of it.

Credit where due — the county’s engineering staff turned submittals around fast, and the weather cooperated exactly twice, both times on pour days. We’ll take it.
