The project

Drainage and access, planned together.

Shaw’s Construction installed a 2-foot concrete channel drain tied directly into this home’s existing foundation to help prevent basement flooding. The drainage work included a connection to the lake’s steel bulkhead.

A new concrete driveway and elevated wheelchair-accessible walkway completed the project, linking the driveway to the entrance. The photos follow the work from excavation and channel construction through pipe connections, walkway framing and the finished site.
