Slipforming technology is a continuous construction technique that pours concrete into a vertically moving mold that rises continuously along with the structure. This method is used to build seamless, joint-free concrete structures like elevator shafts, industrial silos, and high-rise service cores at a rapid daily rate (Wikipedia)

PVC Piping is a high-strength thermoplastic material widely used in drainage and venting systems; its smooth interior prevents clogs, and its chemical resistance makes it ideal for underground sewer lines (Wikipedia).

A sanitary sewer profile is a longitudinal side-view of the sewer line showing its depth, pipe material, and slope. It is used to verify that the line will flow by gravity and that it maintains the required clearance from other underground utilities. (Wikipedia)

Geogrids are geosynthetic materials used to reinforce soils and similar materials, providing high tensile strength to stabilize embankments and roads. They work by interlocking with aggregate particles to create a rigid composite layer that distributes heavy loads over a wider area. (Wikipedia)

Weep holes are small openings in retaining walls that allow water to escape from the backfill. Without weep holes, water accumulates behind the wall, creating hydrostatic pressure that can exceed the structural capacity of the wall and cause it to collapse. (Wikipedia)

Bioswales are channels designed to concentrate and convey stormwater runoff while removing debris and pollution. They consist of a swaled drainage course with gently sloped sides and are often filled with vegetation or compost.(wikipedia)

Drainage channels help move stormwater away from developed areas and prevent flooding. These channels guide water safely toward larger drainage systems or natural waterways.

Proper drainage design helps protect roads, buildings, and nearby properties during heavy rainfall

The “100-year floodplain” does not mean flooding happens once every 100 years; it means there is a 1% chance of flooding in any given year, as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). According to the City of Plano’s Drainage Design Manual and floodplain regulations, development within mapped floodplains must meet elevation and no-rise requirements to prevent increasing flood risk to surrounding properties. By aligning local standards with FEMA flood maps, Plano helps protect homes, infrastructure, and public safety during major storm events.

According to the City of Plano development criteria, additional right-of-way dedication is often required along public streets to accommodate future roadway improvements.
