Brown, Church and Lucas Stormwater Improvements

The Town of Christiansburg (Town) witnessed severe flooding in the vicinity of Brown, Church, and Lucas Streets for many years.  T&L & EEE Consulting, Inc partnered with the Town to determine a recommended course of action to minimize the flooding risk within the project area.  The following scope of servics is as follows:

  • Planimetric and topographic survey;
  • Design a stormwater conveyance system to capture stormwater runoff; Erosion and sediment control / stormwater management plan;
  • Stormwater Prevention Pollution Plan (SWPPP);
  • Bidding and advertising; and Construction contract administration.

The project was divided into two (2) phases. Phase I consisted of approximately 1,200 l.f. of 60-inch storm drain and all related appurtenances.  Phase II consists of approximately 2,500 l.f. of storm drain varying in diameter from 36- to 60-inch, approximately 600 l.f. of curb and gutter, and all related appurtenances.

The Phase I project was awarded to Wells Construction Co., Inc. in September 2016 for $944,879.00 and was completed in June 2017 at a final construction cost of $1,091,608.80.  Phase I was designed and constructed within budget and on schedule.  Significant rainfall events following construction of the Phase I project have demonstrated the project’s success!

T&L is currently finalizing the Phase II design.
