Disney Springs, located near Orlando, Florida, is being renovated to include new shops and new parking facilities. As part of the transformation, a new storm-water treatment area was needed to provide a new settling rake for water quality and a control structure to limit water discharge. Disney Imagineering developed a concept bridge that had to function both as a control structure and a pedestrian walkway. WGI staff developed the walkway system, which utilizes structured steel sheeting and cast-in-place concrete.
Along the walkway, a weir system was installed to allow water to flow over the bisected lake/lagoon to provide the water storage and relief required to maintain water quality. The weir system of sheet piles was installed utilizing press-in technology, which eliminates the vibration caused by conventional vibratory steel installation. The press-in technology allowed adjacent properties to remain open during construction. The final structure was embellished to provide the look and aesthetics associated with an old-fashioned swing bridge.
