A failed HOA storm drain in Gilbert demolished, re-formed and poured in vibrated 4,000 PSI concrete, with the gravel around it touched up.
The project
A homeowners association in Gilbert needed a failed storm drain replaced. Diamondback demolished the old drain, then formed and poured a new one in 4,000 PSI concrete — community maintenance for an HOA run by a property management company.
Scope of work
- Demolished the existing storm drain and hauled it away, dumping fees included
- Built the forms
- Poured 4,000 PSI concrete and vibrated it
- Touched up the gravel around the new drain
- Cleaned up the site
Why vibrate the concrete
Vibrating fresh concrete drives out trapped air and settles it into every corner of the form. The result is denser and stronger, with fewer voids for water to work into — which matters for a drain whose whole job is to carry monsoon runoff.
Quoted from the manager's photos
The community manager sent photos of the failed drain with the request, and the proposal listed each step — demolition, forming, equipment, concrete, finish and cleanup — so the board could see what it was approving.
