Drainage Berm Cost

Construction ITEM DESCRIPTION

Construction unit cost for a hillside drainage diversion berm, done to specs from the local Soil & Water Conservation district.

Unit Size

One lineal foot of drainage diversion.

Labor and Equipment Costs

We figure 20 lineal feet of berm installed per hour by a bulldozer and operator. This price includes topsoil stripping, site contouring and replacement of topsoil. The price also includes one hour of supervisor time per 2000 feet of diversion.

Material Costs

One foot of drainage berm.

Suggested Quantity

No suggested quantity. Enter the total length of diversion berm required.

Source of Construction Pricing

Based on crew and equipment timing from one drainage project done by a subcontractor under supervision by Turtle Creek Construction.

For very large projects you can probably reduce the equipment cost per foot (this project included about 200 feet of drain line, and covers equipment transport and setup time, as well as the actual installation time).
