Various Pond Structures
When you’re ready to have a pond constructed, consider the variations on structure that you can have us build. Excavation ponds, embankment ponds and combined construction ponds.
The simplest form of pond is the excavation pond. This type is simply formed through the digging of a whole in the ground which is then filled with water.
A more complex variation, the embankment pond, involves building a retaining wall, such as a dam, as a part of the pond’s construction. This dam is used to hold back the influx of excessive water and prevent the pond from overflowing.
A combination of the two pond variations described above is called a combined construction pond. However, a combination pond may also incorporate other elements that are not found in the other two pond types.
The Importance of Proper Design
While there are many pond construction companies to choose from, some do not provide proper design strategies with successful end results. Poor pond construction techniques can have a very negative effect on the property at large.
Poor Design Problems can include: unwanted drainage from the pond, damage to ecosystems (like fish ponds,) erosion of the shoreline and surrounding land and other damage to the property.
Not only do we ensure a proper design, we will also encourage you and educate you towards the proper care and maintenance of your finished pond. At CRF, we want you to fully comprehend the process of keeping a healthy ecosystem in the pond that you ordered.
Pond Building Procedures
The CRF procedure is a complete pond building process, from site assessment, pond recommendation and design plan to permit acquisition, job construction and follow-up management.
We will begin with a full assessment of the site. First, soil types are checked and ground contours are evaluated. Next, we will assess the watershed to determine the most reliable natural water source, which helps us decide the most practical location for your pond.
After assessment, we will recommend a pond type for the site. When you are happy with the pond type and location, a map, survey and pond plan will be created. The plan will also include acquisitioning of all the necessary permits and paperwork, subject to all local, state and federal laws and regulations. Permits for CRF pond construction always include those necessary for The Ohio Drainage Law.
