A construction entrance is a designated access point on a construction site used by vehicles to enter and exit the site, and serves as a controlled entry point to prevent the tracking of sediment and other pollutants onto public roads and neighboring properties.
Stormwater professionals should keep several considerations in mind regarding construction entrances. Firstly, the location of the entrance should be strategically planned to minimize the potential for sediment runoff and ensure proper drainage. It should be positioned away from sensitive areas such as water bodies and wetlands.
Secondly, the construction entrance should be properly designed and constructed to effectively contain sediment and prevent its spread onto roadways.
