Flooding and Water Management
Recent flood events in both Canada and the US have underscored the urgent need for better stormwater management systems. As cities expand, impervious surfaces like concrete and asphalt increase, contributing to overwhelmed storm sewers, rapid runoff, and urban flooding. At CORE, we provide innovative solutions to address these challenges with our permeable CORE Gravel foundations and CORE Water catchment systems, which not only minimize flooding, but also protect the environment.
