Project Description: |
|
This project involved the design of 2.6 miles of paving, drainage, bridge, water, illumination, and irrigation improvements along Independence Parkway in Frisco, Texas. Paving improvements included upgrading existing two-lane roadways to four-lane (ultimate 6-lane) divided thoroughfares adjacent to existing residential and undeveloped areas. The design of the storm sewer system includes over two miles of main trunk line ranging in size from 21” RCP to 3-6’x5’ RCB. Special drainage challenges included analyzing an existing tributary near residential properties to determine existing capacities. The large undeveloped basin was unable to handle future development runoff requiring alternative storm drainage to outfall at the main creek while maintaining existing flows to the tributary. Two 180’ (3-60’span) bridge structures were required to accommodate travel over West Rowlett Creek. In addition, three separate concrete box culvert extensions, ranging in size from an 5’x4’ SBC to a 2-10’x9’ MBC, were required. The water line design called for over one mile of 16” main. Legal descriptions, exhibits, and maps were also provided for right-of-way and easement acquisition. |
