Presentation Outline
• Review of Charlotte’s Flood Control Program• Myrtle-Morehead Project History and Overview• Phase 1 – Construction Reality vs Stakeholder
Issues Resolved During Design• Phase 2 - Constructability Problems &
Stakeholder Issues Still Continue• Lessons Learned• Questions and Answers

City Flood Control Projects
• Drainage system improvements for watersheds up to one square mile
• Typical planning, design and construction duration – 5 to 7 years
• Typical costs range from $500,000 - $10 million
• Annual Funding of $27.8 million• This Project ~ $31 million

Project History/Existing System Problems
• Project initiated in 2000 due to chronic flooding of Myrtle Square Apartments, Euclid Avenue, Myrtle Avenue, and Lexington Avenue
• Dilworth area was developed around a creek that was piped with various undersized culverts
• Existing culvert is located underneath and behind numerous houses and apartments
• Dilworth area is a designated Historic Area with homes exceeding $1M in value

Project Design & Constructability Challenges
• Routing a 78” to 90” by-pass culvert through the Dilworth neighborhood streets at depths between 20 and 30 feet
• Tunneling under Morehead Street and replacing 80’ of the 54” water main (NCDOT Encroachment)
• Installing 90” culvert by open cut in McDowell Street (NCDOT Encroachment)
• Installing box culvert by squeezing it between a Public Relations firm and a Duke Over Head Transmission Line
Results in a monumental challenge of project planning & stakeholder involvement !

Phase 2 –Sequence of Construction Prior to 90” & 78” Pipe Installation
1. Relocate Existing Private Utilities to New Location
2. Remove and Replace Existing Sanitary Sewer Mains in conflict with 90” & 78” Pipe
3. Re-instate Sewer Service Laterals to maintain sewer service during construction
4. Install temporary water main to remove existing water main in conflict with 90” & 78” Pipe

Phase 2 –Sequence of Construction For 90” & 78” Pipe Installation
1. Setup 200’ max road closure2. Trim tree branches to prevent damage3. Install “active” shoring for open cut installation4. Install 90” & 78” Pipe, MH’s, and Street Drainage5. Install Temporary Pavement Restoration6. At Completion of City Block – Install New Water
System and Final Pavement Restoration

Lessons Learned1. Improve Bid Advertising for Phase 2– Increase Number of Bidders
2. Additional Construction Location Restrictions– Oriole Street Started Earlier Than Expected– Construction Vehicle Parking, Material Deliveries
3. Stakeholder Involvement Increases During Construction– Significant Utility Coordination During Design – “Tip of Iceberg”– Property Owner Coordination - Unrealistic Requests– Day-to –Day Activities – Garbage Collection; Mail Delivery
4. Costs of “Handcuffing” Contractor– Unrealistic weekend closures
All These Lessons Learned Will Be Applied to Phase 2 !We Are Confident There Will Be Others to Overcome !
