Water is one of the most damaging forces to any asphalt surface. Without proper drainage, standing water can lead to surface breakdown, cracking, potholes, and sub-base failure. At VALROC Development Ltd., we design and install custom catch basin and drainage systems that manage stormwater effectively and preserve the integrity of your asphalt investment.
Our Drainage solutions go beyond surface grading, we implement integrated drainage systems with engineered flow paths, basin placement, trenching, and tied-in outflows designed to suit the site’s topography and expected runoff volumes. Whether for a new lot or a retrofit upgrade, our drainage systems are built to meet local municipal requirements and withstand real Canadian weather.
When to Include Drainage Systems in Asphalt Projects
Drainage systems are essential in both new construction and repaving situations where water collection, redirection, or grade issues are present.
– Prevents water pooling in parking lots, driveways, or laneways
– Mitigates sub-base washout and soil instability from excessive runoff
– Reduces ice buildup and slip hazards during winter freeze-thaw cycles
– Required in low spots, slope transitions, or beside building perimeters
– Often necessary for commercial sites to meet municipal stormwater codes
How VALROC Designs and Installs Catch Basins
We take a site-specific approach to every drainage project, coordinating elevation, surface pitch, and infrastructure tie-ins with precision.
– Site surveyed and elevation mapped to determine flow paths
– Catch basins installed at low points to capture surface water runoff
– Trench drains added where needed to direct water across wide spans
– Drain lines connected to storm systems, dry wells, or approved outlets
– Concrete collars and surrounding asphalt built up for durability and clean tie-ins
– Optional retaining wall or curb integration for elevation management
Whether you’re building a commercial lot, installing a new driveway, or upgrading an aging strata roadway, VALROC delivers complete drainage solutions with catch basin systems that preserve surface strength, meet local engineering standards, and keep water where it belong, off your asphalt.
