Playground Drainage Inspections - GLV ConstructionGLV Construction

Built for Performance and Compliance

Every drainage inspection is conducted to meet municipal design standards and CSA requirements. We understand that proper foundation work and technical precision are what keep a playground looking great and performing safely for years.

Regulatory Alignment: We verify that all drainage installations meet the specific engineering codes required by your municipality.
Long-Term Protection: By identifying drainage failures early, we help prevent the costly replacement of safety surfacing and the structural failure of play equipment.
Technical Site Stabilization: Our inspections focus on maintaining the structural health of the site to minimize future maintenance and ensure a dry, inviting environment for families.

001

Sub-Surface Infrastructure Review

We evaluate the condition of underground drainage conduits to ensure they are free of blockages and properly managing water volume.

002

Low-Point & Catch Basin Audits

Our team inspects low-point drainage areas to ensure water is directed away from play structures to prevent pooling and soil saturation.

003

Safety Surface Permeability Checks

We assess how water moves through safety surfacing to ensure no moisture is trapped, which could lead to surface bubbling or sub-base erosion.

004

Precision Grading & Contouring Analysis

Our crews verify that the site’s levels continue to direct water toward intended storm systems and prevent standing water in high-traffic play zones.
