Remember, an heavy storm events on Minnesota’s I-35 West in Minneapolis have caused flooding so intense within the existing stormwater tunnels that, in addition to road closures, manhole lids have blown off into onto the interstate.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> The original, 50-year old tunnel system was designed to carry stormwater runoff from the highway and the surrounding neighborhoods. As development within the 3,100-acre surface (12,5 kilometers square meter) drainage area has continued, the volume of water for the storage tunnels to handle has increased.<\/p>\n As part of a great team effort to mitigate flooding incidents, the Minnesota Department of Transportation contracted the Brierley Associates, Barr Engineering and TKDA Team to design a new, underground stormwater storage facility solution featuring six interlocking diaphragm walls<\/a>. The Kraemer\/Nicholson<\/a> Joint Venture would then take over the construction phase of the project through the CMGC Project Delivery Process, which includes multiple techniques along a busy, three-lane interstate with some challenging ground conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
