ISSUE

With a limited supply of space and within the flight operations area of an active airport, the Owners had to construct a facility which would capture sheet flows, route them to a 34,000cf storage tank, infiltration this volume, while supporting the loads from airport operations’ equipment. Western Stormwater Solutions and Whitson Contracting & Management teamed up to provide a design-build system that would meet all of the Airport Authority’s requirements.

OBJECTIVES:

The vicinity where the modular tanks would be placed presented both physical and scheduling obstacles that if not planned accordingly would create execrable conditions for the facility and the ownership. Due to the onsite drainage, excavation for the modular tank footprint had to be placed near amain arterial where vehicles would travel back and forth from the active airstrip. Construction of the system had to be done quickly to minimize downtime of the entrance.

Approach

Whitson CM’s construction experience allowed for close coordination with both the General Contractor and site supervisors enabling the construction to be completed in a limited window.Our solution of constructing trench drains utilizing Ecoraster E50 grids(versus traditional metal frames and grates) flowing into a 34,000cf modular tank system solved this project’s constraints and requirements.

RESULTS

This system has provided the required drainage, infiltration, storage, and load support since it was constructed. It was constructed within the timeframes provided and it continues to function as designed. This is another example of Western Stormwater Solutions' and Whitson Contracting & Management's design-build capabilities!
