Primary Details
Project area is located on the east side of N Grady Avenue south of W Spruce Street as is identified as the Grady Avenue Drainage Improvements. Work involves demolition of trees and guardrail, installation of ten (10) storm sewer structures and large diameter piping to enclose an existing 800-ft ditch corridor. Work includes approximately 200 feet of 36” RCP pipe and approximately 490 feet of 60”x38” ERCP pipe. and all miscellaneous and appurtenant work.
The existing ditch is located directly adjacent to the existing City roadway with guardrail separating traffic from the steep embankment. Steep embankment slopes and sandy soils have caused heavy erosion, causing continuous maintenance issues for City staff. Improvements will enclose the open ditch with installation of a storm sewer conveyance system. The rehabilitation work will maintain stormwater flow needs while improving public safety and reducing future maintenance.
