Project Description:
The Project consists of performing a comprehensive canal system hydraulic model. Phase I of the Project included clearing canal banks to allow for surveying along with cleaning and inspecting all of the culverts. Phase II involves surveying and taking soundings of the canals also a preliminary canal bank geotechnical analysis will be performed. Due to inadequate drainage and canal systems within the City, flooding is common in certain areas throughout the City during heavy rain events. The City's Engineering Consultant performed a study on the existing drainage/canal systems and identified multiple locations, experiencing heavy flooding and/or ponding that require drainage facilities improvements to alleviate flooding conditions. In many portions of the canal systems, sediments have reduced the effective depths of the canal system and caused canal bank erosion. The City's Engineering Consultant also recommended comprehensive drainage, dredging and canal bank improvements within the City. Based on increasing hurricane events, the City is requesting funding to design and complete the projects within its comprehensive stormwater and canal restoration plan on a more aggressive schedule. In the end, a system model will be developed and hydraulic performance determined. A comprehensive canal restoration plan will be developed as final stage of the project to be used for future project planning to reduce flooding in the City and improve water flow.
