The problem on this Pflugerville site
The truck court ponded eight inches deep after ordinary storms and drivers were refusing dock assignments. The owner had a bid in hand to re-grade and repave the entire court, a six-figure number, before anyone looked inside the storm system.
How our NASSCO-certified crew approached it
- Inspected the storm system before the owner signed the repaving bid, starting at the inlets and working to the outfall
- Confirmed the concrete pipe was structurally sound so the fix could be scoped as cleaning, not replacement
- Vacuumed and jetted the silt and gravel out in one mobilization staged around dock traffic
- Ran a verification scope and handed over video proving restored design capacity
What the camera documented
- Storm culvert roughly half full of silt, gravel, and construction debris left from the original build
- Two grates partially blocked by debris packed against the inlet throat
- Concrete pipe structurally sound with no cracking, settlement, or joint separation
- Outfall clear, confirming the restriction was inside the run and not downstream
Measurable results
- Vacuum and jetting cleared the culvert and restored full design capacity in a single mobilization
- Post-cleaning scope proved the pipe was sound, so the repaving bid came off the table entirely
- Owner solved a flooding complaint for a fraction of the planned capital spend
