Hello,

I am working on a flooding project for School and our plan is to construct a dry detention pond to control the problem.

One of the components of the project is to have an estimate of the costs of any designs submitted.

I am having trouble finding information on cost data for building a dry detention pond. Most sites that I have come across only give a final price for the design. Would anybody know where I could find detail cost estimating (ex. pond excavation unit price per cubic yard of soil removed and unit prices for inlet and outlet construction) I have a copy of RS means building construction costs but this deals more with construction of buildings and not detention ponds.

Thank You for any help.

You're essentially talking about dozer work which is generally done on an hourly basis.

Can you give the size(specifications), etc.?


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
