Low Impact Development Technologies, LLC Receives Investment from Ember Infrastructure

Green Infrastructure Solutions Provider Experiencing Rapid Growth

NEW YORK, NY, November 1, 2022 – Stormwater solutions provider Low Impact Development Technologies, LLC (“LID Tech”) announced today it has received an investment from Ember Infrastructure (“Ember”) to meet growing demand for its suite of green infrastructure products and services that enhance stormwater management in ways that reduce runoff and flooding while improving water quality, safety, and quality of life in urban and ultra-urban areas.
 
LID Tech owns Porous Technologies LLC (“PT”), a green infrastructure company specializing in modular precast concrete stormwater management products, including the modular Stormcrete® precast porous concrete panel (“PPCP”) system as well as the Urban RaingardenTM.

LID Tech also owns Stormwater Compliance, LLC (“SWC”), a full-service post-construction stormwater infrastructure inspection and maintenance business servicing a variety of commercial & industrial customers across the full spectrum of traditional stormwater systems and green infrastructure.
 
As more green infrastructure is built around the county and regulations increasingly target stormwater-driven water pollution, long-term maintenance solutions will be increasingly required, creating a symbiotic relationship across both PT and SWC. Ember’s investment will support the growth of both businesses.

“Ember is proud to be partnering with the impressive and dedicated team at Low Impact Development Technologies,” said Ember Principal Caleb Powers, who will join the company’s Board of Directors. “Many of our most basic water problems start with outdated and overwhelmed stormwater infrastructure. The company’s solutions are critical enablers for communities to affordably and reliably transition to green infrastructure, and we see tremendous opportunities for continued growth across the business going forward.”

“This investment from Ember will allow us to grow all facets of our business, including expanding Stormcrete PPCP production both regionally and nationally to meet increasing demand for our high quality, easily maintained stormwater management solutions,” said President and Founder Gregg Novick. “In Ember we have found a knowledgeable and like-minded partner, and I could not be more excited to embark on this next phase of our expansion.”

Stormcrete® PPCPs are manufactured and cured under controlled conditions, allowing for reproducible strength and flow. Because they arrive on site fully cured, they can be placed and used immediately across a variety of applications including right-of-way gutters, parking lots, sidewalks, alleyways, street corners, and pedestrian plazas. The panels are removable and replaceable, reducing life cycle costs and providing an extra factor of safety during maintenance activities.
