Flat topography can make drainage projects challenging, but Community First Construction is up for the task. In Memphis, TN, Community First Construction recently completed a drainage project that will help to prevent water from pooling under homes and on top of roads.
Community First Construction knew that the success of the project depended on building a strong relationship with their farmer neighbor. They took the time to meet with the farmer and explain the project in detail. They also listened to the farmer’s concerns and suggestions.
As a result of this relationship-building, the farmer was very supportive of the project. He allowed Community First Construction to build the drainage swale on his property. A drainage swale is a shallow ditch that helps to collect and divert water runoff.
The success of this project is a testament to the importance of building relationships with stakeholders. Community First Construction understood that the farmer was a key stakeholder in the project. By taking the time to build a relationship with him, they were able to ensure the success of the project.
The new drainage system in Memphis is expected to make a significant difference in the community. By preventing water from pooling, the system will help to reduce flooding and protect homes and businesses from damage. The system will also help to improve the quality of life for residents by reducing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.
