Drainage - GLV ConstructionGLV Construction

Engineering Efficient Solutions for High-Performance Parks

Managing water in Western Canada requires a specialized understanding of how environmental factors affect the ground and infrastructure. Whether designing systems to conserve water or integrating energy-efficient components, we focus on longevity, sustainability, and reliability. Through engineered water volume management that supports everything from community splash pads to destination-level aquatic parks, GLV Construction demonstrates a firm commitment to environmental stewardship.

By prioritizing the structural health of a site and its water management from the outset, we ensure long-term reliability and minimize future maintenance requirements for our partners. This focus on technical site stabilization through proper grading and drainage prevents erosion and creates the necessary foundation for smooth, successful installations. Furthermore, our 35 years of regional experience allow us to expertly adapt these drainage techniques to meet the specific requirements and standards of various municipalities and city departments across Western Canada.

001

Spray Park Water Management

We install complex aquatic systems, including recirculation, filtration, and water conservation options tailored for high-use community splash pads.

002

Low-Point & Sub-Surface Drainage

Using specialized techniques, we install robust underground paths beneath safety surfacing to prevent pooling and direct water away from critical structures.

003

Precision Grading & Stabilization

Our expert site leveling ensures the ground is perfectly contoured for optimal water flow, forming a foundation that prevents erosion and ensures site stability.

004

Multi-Use Infrastructure

We engineer versatile systems for parks that transition between seasons, such as areas serving as water parks in the summer and ice rinks or sports courts in the winter.
