Commercial Yard & Area Drains for Old Lyme, CT Properties

Yard and area drain demand on Old Lyme commercial properties reflects the character of each commercial zone and the specific open site conditions that create surface water collection problems on each type of property.

The Halls Road commercial corridor includes landscaped entry areas, building surround zones, and open site areas between commercial buildings and parking lots where surface water collects during Connecticut Shoreline rain events. For Old Lyme Marketplace tenants, service commercial properties on Halls Road, and the retail buildings that line this principal commercial corridor, landscaped zones that stay wet or develop standing water conditions after rain affect the customer-facing appearance of the commercial site and in some cases affect pedestrian circulation between parking areas and building entries. Area drains installed in the grade-determined low points of these landscaped and open site zones give surface water a controlled collection point and an underground pipe path to a compliant discharge outlet.

The marina properties along the Connecticut River and the tidal waterways that Old Lyme's four marinas serve present a specialized yard and area drain context. Open yard areas at marina facilities collect surface water from boat traffic, vessel work areas, and rain events, and the proximity of these sites to the Connecticut River estuary and the regulated tidal resources it supports means that surface water collection and routing on marina sites must account for stormwater quality requirements and applicable discharge restrictions near regulated estuarine waters.

Along Route 156 and in the Sound View Village District, the seasonal commercial properties serving Old Lyme's beach communities and Connecticut River tourism deal with open site drainage conditions that are influenced by the flat coastal terrain, elevated seasonal water table, and the regulatory context applicable to commercial sites near the town's Long Island Sound shoreline and tidal wetland corridors. Area drain systems on Route 156 coastal commercial properties route collected surface water to compliant discharge outlets appropriate for the proximity to regulated coastal resources.

The Exit 70 and 71 light industrial and distribution properties on Hatchetts Hill Road and Vista Drive have larger open site areas than the retail and service commercial properties in Old Lyme's other commercial zones. Open yard zones, truck turnaround areas, and unpaved sections of industrial sites in this zone need drainage infrastructure that handles the concentrated runoff from those larger contributing areas during heavy Connecticut Shoreline rain events.


Yard and Area Drain Solutions We Install in Old Lyme Commercial Sites

Point Area Drains at Site Low Points

A point area drain at the grade-determined low point of an open site zone gives surface water a controlled collection point and an underground pipe path to a discharge outlet. We install point area drains on Old Lyme commercial properties at locations confirmed by site assessment to be the actual low points where surface water accumulates, connected to underground pipe that routes collected water to a compliant outlet.

Linear Trench Drains for Surface Flow Interception

Linear trench drains intercept surface water sheeting across open commercial site zones before it reaches low points, building entries, or transitions where it would pool or affect commercial operations. On Halls Road commercial properties where pedestrian areas between parking and building entries need to stay clear during rain events, and on Route 156 coastal commercial properties where flat site areas need surface flow intercepted before it reaches building foundations or regulated resources, linear trench drains provide the interception that point drains cannot.

Compliant Discharge Routing for Regulated Environments

Old Lyme commercial yard and area drain systems discharge to outlets that meet the applicable requirements near the town's regulated coastal, estuarine, and inland resources. On Halls Road commercial lots where no natural daylight outlet is available, discharge routes to a properly sized dry well. On Route 156 coastal commercial sites and marina properties near regulated estuarine resources, discharge design accounts for the applicable stormwater quality requirements and regulated resource setbacks that govern commercial discharge in proximity to Old Lyme's Connecticut River estuary.
