Chelsea Place Drainage Improvements

Project Description
Location: Drainage system at Warwick Blvd and Edgemoor Dr. Project: The drainage system in Chelsea Place apartments drains to a channel along the CSX right-of-way, then through a small culvert to a drainage channel along Warwick Blvd.  The culvert under the railroad right-of-way is undersized and causes flooding in the parking lot of the apartments.  This project includes an analysis of the system with design and construction to improve drainage. Performance/Outcome: Alleviate flooding for the apartment parking lots and two apartment buildings housing 15 apartments.  Improve drainage upstream and downstream of the improvements by increasing flow through the drainage outfall of the apartments and diverting some of the flow from Edgemoor Drive to a new outfall.
