right-sizing stormwater drainage system key to residential neighborhood project<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

the tidy, residential neighborhood situated in the south-central area of fort dodge<\/a> is densely populated with single-story, single-family homes. due to undersized storm sewer pipes, this working-class neighborhood (bordered by 9th<\/sup> avenue south on the north side and 15th<\/sup> avenue south, and south 22nd<\/sup> street to the west and the union pacific railroad yard in the east) has been plagued by street flooding during periods of heavy rain<\/a> for many years. snyder & associates developed a plan for installing larger sewer pipes<\/a> in the area and providing a more direct egress for stormwater<\/a> into gypsum creek to the east.<\/p>\n

multi-phase project to improve drainage issues<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

storm drain replacements in certain locations were sized to handle the stormwater.<\/p><\/div>\n

this extensive effort will initially focus on south 24th<\/sup>, 25th<\/sup>, 26th<\/sup>, and 27th<\/sup> streets between 14th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup> avenues south. subsequent phases of the project will continue storm sewer pipe replacement, working to the north through the neighborhood. new storm sewer pipes will also be added along 15th<\/sup> avenue south to carry stormwater<\/a> to gypsum creek. to complete this stage of the project, sections of 15th<\/sup> avenue south will be closed during construction<\/a>. however, the closure will be timed to coincide with the replacement of a bridge<\/a> on the same road to the east.<\/p>\n

to keep total project costs in check, the city requested the storm sewer replacement plan have minimal impact on existing roadway pavement<\/a> in the area. this requirement results in limited areas where street pavement needs replaced<\/a>. with this parameter in mind, our team created a plan with storm sewer offsets behind the existing curb. this allowed for the installation of new pipes without requiring roadway removal. additionally, construction activities were confined to the existing rights-of-way<\/a> where feasible to further help minimize expense.<\/p>\n

this extensive project is slated to take several construction seasons to complete. the thoughtful staging plan is designed to limit disruptions to local traffic<\/a> and homeowners in the area, while the new storm sewer drainage system will reduce the frequency of flooding events<\/a>. the snyder & associates team was responsible for the initial design, as well as the ongoing construction observation of the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
