Hoboken Stormwater Management
Design and implementation of green infrastructure for flood mitigation in urban development.
Project Overview
This innovative stormwater management project addressed flooding concerns for a new mixed-use development in flood-prone Hoboken. Envicon's team designed and implemented a comprehensive green infrastructure system that achieved exceptional stormwater reduction while enhancing site aesthetics.
The Challenge
Hoboken's history of flooding combined with limited site area created significant challenges for meeting stormwater management requirements. Traditional detention approaches were impractical given site constraints, requiring innovative solutions.
Our Solution
Envicon's team designed an integrated green infrastructure system combining bioswales, permeable pavement, and underground detention to maximize stormwater capture and infiltration. The system achieved 85% reduction in stormwater runoff while creating attractive landscape features.
