Drainage Design of Four Flooding Locations in Miami-Dade County

As part of the continuing services contract for Civil Engineering Services for Roadway Projects, the City of Miami (under the Miami Forever Bond) addressed severe flooding issues at four locations within the City. The project included four locations: Site 12 - 1603 NW South River Drive, Site 74 - 2928 SW 2 Street, Site 79 - 200 SW 30 Avenue, and Site 9 - 1631 NW 13 Court. WGI was contracted to prepare construction documents and associated drainage calculations by designing a new storm sewer system with the installation of new 24-inch French drain systems, cross pipes, manholes, inlets, curb and gutter, and repairing broken sidewalks, as necessary. This design alleviated street flooding as well as flooding in the public right-of-way. Services included roadway design, drainage design, signing and pavement markings, permitting, survey, SUE, geotechnical, and post-design services.
