our expertise
With increasing frequency, clients remain challenged with improving the management of our impervious environment. With today’s climate change challenges, cleanliness, availability, and quality of water is of paramount concern. Our team of engineers and technicians provide innovative, cost-effective solutions and recommendations for a wide range of water management systems and improvements, including the design of reservoirs, dams, and levees. The management and design of drainage systems for stormwater runoff and the systems needed to manage runoff in an environmentally sound manner is a critical component of almost every site/civil engineering project. With a focus on safety, constructability and lifecycle costs, Patrick is proud to meet these challenges with value-added solutions.

our projects
Village of Northbrook | East Stormwater Detention Facility
Due to significant roadway flooding within the Northbrook East Subdivision, the Village of Northbrook in Illinois identified this project as a high priority in their Stormwater Management Plan. Patrick provided full-service professional survey, phase I, II, and III design, and resident engineering services for the project, including approximately 400 feet of relocated bike path. Final improvements include 1,557 linear feet of new storm sewer to supplement the existing sewer network, a 4.7 acre-ft. stormwater detention pond with a dry bottom basin restored with native plantings for water quality enhancement, 150 new trees, relocation of an existing bike path, storm sewer improvements, watermain and water service improvements, and pavement, sidewalk, and vegetative surface restoration. Patrick surveyed existing conditions, performed stormwater modeling, prepared construction drawings, obtained all required regulatory permits, participated in all public outreach, acted as the Resident Engineer, and prepared Record Drawings. Construction of the facility was completed in December 2016.
