This elliptical pipe carries the same volume of stormwater as round pipe but with less overall height of pipe in areas confined by existing utilities

One of the new drainage structures that will help collect stormwater from the ditches

This new storm sewer line will be covered by several feet of fill as we raise the roadway elevation south of the railroad tracks

This connection between the existing pipe at the north end of the project and the newly installed pipe completed the northern storm sewer system

The concrete pump takes material from the mixer trucks and forces it through hoses to the top of the auger rig to create the columns

The column drill rig pushes existing material to the sides of the auger shaft and down 15-25 feet, then pumps concrete grout into the ground to create a rigid column
