drainage survey

drainage survey

drainage survey

(OP)
Is there such a thing as a drainage survey, that would include evaluating a site's drainage issues, erosion issues, etc.  Is there an American standard (i.e. ASTM) or similar?

Thanks

RE: drainage survey

A civil engineer will readily do what I've always seen called a "Stormwater Analysis".  It will include any sub-topics you specify.  I am not aware of a spec or standard for one, your contract will define the scope.

It will not include precise calculations for design of improvements.  Those are done in "Stormwater Management Reports" and "Erosion & Sedimentation Control (E&S) Reports".  It will include analysis upon which to base design strategy.

Remember: The Chinese ideogram for “crisis” is comprised of the characters for “danger” and “opportunity.”
