Project Description

The first phase of the Pogues Run CSO Reduction/Flood Protection Project, designed by Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. (CBBEL), consists of one detention basin/wetland at Emerson Avenue and a second basin at Brookside Park.  CBBEL was awarded the contract to conduct construction observation at the Emerson Avenue site. This challenging project consists of acting as the owners representative during the nearly 2 year construction project. Excavation of approximately 550,000 cubic yards of earthen material and 250,000 cubic yards of special waste, construction of approximately 14 acres of various wetland zones, and a proposed 24 foot high earthen dam make this one of the largest water resources projects ever constructed by the City of Indianapolis. Three CBBEL staff members performed project coordination, quantity measurement and project documentation, with geotechnical and survey services performed by CBBEL sub consultants.
 

Scope of Engineering & Professional Services

This project included a full array of construction observation services.  In particular CBBEL staff provided overall project coordination, measurement of construction quantities, development of project construction reports and documentations, coordination of project sub consultants and extensive meetings/support for client.
