Proper drainage investigation is a critical component
of any land development project. Whether a project consists of a residential
subdivision, commercial complex or an industrial center, unexpected flooding
can have a devastating and costly impact to a project during construction
and after completion. That is why VTN Consulting provides comprehensive
drainage investigation for every project designed. VTN Consulting’s
dedicated staff of drainage engineers and technicians have decades of experience
in researching potential flooding impacts and design of flood control facilities
that work efficiently and fit the needs of each project. When it comes
to providing safe and efficient flood control design, VTN Consulting is
committed to make the difference.

The comprehensive investigation of existing and
future storm water runoff which impacts a proposed project site is a vital
step in the Land Development process. VTN Consulting Nevada has extensive
experience in preparing drainage studies for residential, commercial, industrial,
and Master Planned Community projects. The major components integrated
in the drainage studies are:
- Hydrologic modeling to quantify the 10-year and
100-year storm water runoff rates.
- Develop routing patterns for off-site and on-site
storm flows in compliance with state and local drainage regulations.
- Design of storm sewer, culverts and drainage channels,
using hydraulic
models such as HEC-RAS, WSPG, and FLOWMASTER to safely convey
storm runoff through the proposed development.
- Ensure that all proposed structures are sufficiently
elevated and flood
protected to avoid potential flooding problems.
Hydrologic and Hydraulic design are key steps in the
development process. Our drainage engineers work directly with land development
design team members to ensure that all drainage concerns for the project
are addressed. The following are examples of recent drainage studies
completed by VTN Consulting:
Mountains Edge is a ±2800 acre Master
Plan Community in the southwest Las Vegas valley. In order to collect
and route the estimated 8500 cfs storm runoff generated during the
100-year storm event, the Rush Channel and Buffalo Berm was designed
and constructed. The 1 mile long, 150 foot wide Buffalo Berm was constructed
using Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) which reduces the cost over a
conventional concrete facility. The Rush Channel facility is a 1 mile
long, 40 foot wide concrete channel that serves as the main drainage
facility for the Mountains Edge Development.
