Charlotte Storm Water Services / Construction
Severn/Tyndal Storm Drainage Improvement Project
The purpose and need for this construction project is to improve the storm drainage infrastructure (i.e. pipe systems and culverts) to reduce flooding and to enhance degraded stream reaches to reduce erosion and improve water quality. The project area is located in the overall Sunnyvale Storm Drainage Improvement Project (SDIP) area. The scope of work for the Tyndale Avenue project includes replacing a corrugated metal pipe between Tyndale Avenue and Chandworth Road. Replacement of the system is needed to address reported house flooding in the immediate area. The upgrade to the system also allows for the construction of the upstream improvements currently in design from the Storm Water’s queue that will address seven requests for service of failing infrastructure and flooding requests. Approximately 500 linear feet of 48-inch to 66-inch corrugated pipe will need to be replaced to address the undersized and deteriorating system in the Severn Avenue project area.

Gleneagles SDIP
The Gleneagles Project is primarily focused on replacing an existing CMP culvert near 3810 Gleneagles Road. The existing culvert is 8.7’ high by 7.8’ wide and is being replaced with a 10’ wide and 7’ tall RCBC. The culvert replacement is occurring to address aging infrastructure and to improve the reliability of infrastructure for the traveling public. In support of this culvert replacement, we are dredging the downstream pond which is located on the Quail Hollow Country Club near the 15th hole. The dredging will remove sediment that has built up near the downstream end of the existing culvert and prevent sediment transport downstream which would negatively impact existing ponds and habitats. In addition, we will be adding inlets and upgrading roadside drainage on Out-Of-Bounds Drive which has significant spread in larger storm events from road drainage. The work on Out-Of-Bounds Drive will increase the safety of the traveling public using that roadway during rain events.
