Nice shots. What takes the place of the pond? A different structure? Ponds seem like a waste of space but water needs a place to go.
Well the man with the checkbook said fill it in.
Seriously, these were settlement ponds for surface run off during the major construction phase of this commercial parcel. I'm not sure how many acres this development is but it has a Publix grocery store and several out parcels.
The remaining parcels are heavily grassed so there is no need for the settling ponds. Scott a lot of what I do makes no sense to me since I don't have P.E. after my name. We'll construct a 4K SF building on a 3/4 acre lot and have to install a StormTech system or other underground detention system, then on other projects much larger there are no retention/detention ponds or systems. At this point in my career I've come to the conclusion that we get paid to put it in not design it..
Thanks for the compliments on the shots. That's the new iPhone with the 3 camera thingy.
