Bioswales

Bioswales are a great option for reliable stormwater management systems as they are efficient and reliable in controlled drainage of storm runoff in Portland, OR. This type of drainage control works well in tandem with other drainage techniques depending on your unique controlled drainage needs. Generally speaking, bioswales are intended to collect, slow, and filter storm runoff away from various places including parking lots and other paved areas, parks, residential complexes, highways, and more.

The drainage pipes are linked to the city stormwater system which will guide the filtered water to its final destination. Bioswales are wildly popular because they are an environmentally friendly bio filtration system for excess storm water in.
