With more than 30 years of experience in commercial excavation and site development, our team understands how drainage affects every phase of construction.

Whether you’re preparing a site for construction or upgrading an existing drainage system, The Blatt Group has the equipment and expertise to complete the job safely, efficiently, and according to plan.
Why Proper Drainage Matters
Stormwater must be directed away from buildings, roadways, parking lots, and other improvements to prevent costly damage and maintain a safe, functional site.
A professionally installed drainage system helps:
- Prevent standing water
- Reduce soil erosion
- Protect building foundations
- Improve pavement longevity
- Control stormwater runoff
- Reduce flooding risks
- Maintain stable site conditions
- Support compliance with engineered site plans
Proper drainage is not only important during construction—it also helps protect the completed development for years to come.
Our Commercial Drainage Installation Services
The Blatt Group provides complete drainage solutions for commercial and municipal construction projects.
Storm Drainage Systems
We install underground stormwater systems that efficiently collect and convey runoff away from developed areas. Our team works according to engineered plans to ensure proper flow and long-term performance.
Catch Basins
Catch basins collect surface water from parking lots, roadways, and developed sites before directing it into underground drainage systems. Proper placement and installation help minimize flooding and improve site drainage.
Culvert Installation
Culverts allow water to safely pass beneath roads, driveways, and access points while maintaining proper drainage throughout the site. We install culverts that support both stormwater management and site accessibility.
Drainage Pipe Installation
We excavate and install underground drainage piping for commercial developments, ensuring proper slope, alignment, and backfill to promote efficient water movement.
Swales and Surface Drainage
Surface drainage features such as swales help direct stormwater away from buildings while reducing erosion and improving water management across the property.
Drainage Improvements
Existing commercial properties sometimes require drainage upgrades due to expansion, redevelopment, or recurring water issues. We evaluate site conditions and install improvements that enhance overall drainage performance.
Supporting Successful Site Development
Drainage installation is a critical component of complete site development.
Our drainage services often work alongside:
- Commercial excavation
- Site preparation
- Land grading
- Utility trenching
- Building excavation
- Parking lot construction
- Complete site work
Because we provide all of these services, our team can coordinate each phase efficiently, reducing scheduling conflicts and improving project productivity.
Drainage and Site Grading Work Together
Proper grading and drainage are closely connected. Even the best drainage system cannot perform effectively without accurate site elevations.
Our experienced operators carefully establish finished grades that direct water toward designated drainage structures while preventing runoff from collecting around buildings or paved surfaces.
This integrated approach helps:
- Improve stormwater flow
- Reduce maintenance needs
- Prevent erosion
- Protect foundations
- Extend pavement life
- Improve overall site performance
By combining grading expertise with professional drainage installation, we create sites that function efficiently in all weather conditions.
