Soil Data Collection for Stormwater Management Design ​

Geotechnical field services to support effective BMP sizing and placement 

D.W. Kozera, Inc. provides soil data collection and subsurface evaluation services to support stormwater management system design. Our work equips civil engineers, landscape architects, and site designers with the field-tested information needed to assess infiltration capacity, evaluate site constraints, and design best management practices (BMPs) that comply with local stormwater regulations. ​

Whether you’re planning bioretention cells, infiltration trenches, or permeable pavement systems, our team performs the field testing, sampling, and analysis required for effective stormwater modeling and design approval. ​

Services Offered ​

  • Soil Borings and Logging for Subsurface Characterization ​
  • Infiltration Testing (In-Situ Methods) ​
  • Double Ring Infiltrometer Testing (ASTM D3385) ​
  • Seasonal High Water Table and Groundwater Depth Evaluation ​
  • Soil Sampling for Laboratory Classification and Hydraulic Conductivity ​
  • Field Verification of Existing Soils for BMP Retrofit Projects ​
  • Support for County, Municipal, and State Stormwater Submittals ​
  • Detailed Reporting for Use in Stormwater Design Calculations ​

Why Work with D.W. Kozera? ​

  • Targeted Testing Programs Designed for Infiltration-Based BMPs ​
    We develop field testing strategies that align with the specific performance and permitting requirements of bioretention systems, infiltration trenches, and other stormwater BMPs. ​
  • Reliable Support for Regulatory Submittals and Design Calculations ​
    Our soil data and reporting formats are crafted to meet the expectations of county, municipal, and state reviewers, helping streamline approvals and reduce back-and-forth. ​
  • Field Experience That Translates into Practical Recommendations ​
    With a deep understanding of how site soils behave in the field, our team provides insights that go beyond test results, supporting smarter layout, sizing, and siting decisions. ​

At D.W. Kozera, we provide more than test results, we deliver the subsurface data that drives smart stormwater design. Contact us today to schedule soil testing or request a site-specific data collection plan. ​
