Cosmopolitan
Engineering conducted a hydrologic/hydraulic
basin analyses and develop a capital improvement
program to mitigate existing and future drainage
problems within a 2,500-acre project study area.
This included the development of stormwater
quality and quantity control strategies, engineering
designs, and cost estimates for the implementation
of the strategies. In addition, wastewater interceptors
were evaluated for capacity, realignment alternatives,
and/or sliplining. |
|
Evaluation
and analysis of the T Street Gulch Drainage
Basin, including alternatives development, modeling,
and engineering evaluation that, when implemented,
would decrease erosion and sedimentation impacts
within the T Street Gulch. Cosmopolitan Engineering
Group was also responsible for the environmental
coordination of stream assessments, habitat
evaluations, and permit acquisition. |
Scope
Issues: |
Hydraulic/hydrologic modeling
CIP program development
Erosion/sedimentation evaluations
Pipelines in environmentally sensitive areas
Rehabilitation of natural stream systems |
|
Erosion
control and stormwater design elements consisted
of channel armor, stormwater conveyance pipe
and sedimentation facilities. Channel armoring
and rockery construction was conducted in two
phases on over 11,000 linear feet of channel
and ravine in an urban environment. Stormwater
conveyance consisted of more than 2,100 linear
feet 48-inch and 72-inch concrete and HDPE piping. |
Project
Results: |
Reduced in-stream erosion due to urban
development
Minimized effects of downstream
sedimentation
Established public use areas within an urban
stream system |
|
|
The
ten-acre-foot sedimentation facility consisted of
an inlet structure, outlet structure, access road,
and native vegetation planting plan.
