A Design Model/Solution to a Challenging Urban Storm Drainage Project
The "Surf Master at the Sea" is a 140 unit high-rise condo building that was served by a conc. parking garage where the garage lower level was constantly flooded during inclement weather. The parking area was approx. 100 feet from the Atlantic Ocean and experienced hydrostatic pressure, high tide, and backflow from an adjacent retention facility.
Old System:
-
Old underground storm drainage system flooded 2 feet deep at its center during inclement weather.
-
Deteriorated conc. pavement due to hydrostatic pressure caused by elevated sea level.
-
parking lot outlets was designed to discharge to the beach and to a adjacent dificient retention facility.
New System:
-
New underground perforated drainage system replaced the under-designed existing one which adequately retained surface runoff during storm events and during elevated sea level.
-
The system was designed to handle 10-year storm events.
-
Outlet to adjacent retention facility was eliminated and the outlet piping system remained and was replaced w/ anew one.
Concrete Pavement:
-
10'x10' 6" deep conc. panels laid over a 6" thick gavel bed.
-
A plastic sheeting was was applied over the gravel for addition protection to the jointing system and to the panel edges.
-
A jointing system consisted of sawed 1/8"-thick CJs and 1/2" EJs both filled w/ approved EJ materials
