Inwood Forest Stormwater Detention Basin

Inwood Forest Stormwater Detention Basin Houston, TX The project included the conversion of 226-acres of golf course fairways into regional detention basins through an interlocal agreement between Harris County Flood Control District and the City of Houston. This project represents the largest single-phase dirt moving effort in the Flood Control District’s 88-year history. It is transforming the site into 12 interconnected compartments, designed to mitigate impacts of future City of Houston local drainage improvements and help reduce flooding risks in a historically vulnerable part of the city. The project encompasses property located both east of Antoine and west of Antoine, with a total of 12 interconnected compartments. The project is currently in construction and will provide approximately 1200 acre-feet of storage to the White Oak Bayou Watershed. At a Glance 226 Acres $71 million Project Cost “This project represents a historic milestone for Harris County Flood Control District, both in scale and impact. Converting more than 226 acres into interconnected regional detention basins required close coordination between agencies, thoughtful phasing, and precise execution. Once completed, the system will significantly enhance flood resilience for the White Oak Bayou watershed and surrounding communities.” Mark Rotz, PE Project Manager Markets Land Development Services Land & Site Development

Wheatland Wastewater Improvements

Wheatland Wastewater Improvements Wheatland, IN DCCM led an internal and external team of engineers to design and develop a new sanitary sewer system for the Town of Wheatland. This system included designing three positive displacement blowers for a new extended aeration plant along with several miles of new low pressure force main, one lift station, and a package wastewater treatment plant for the town of 500 people. The team evaluated wastewater lagoons for Wheatland being crucial for maintaining compliance with regulations and ensuring effective treatment. One of the key challenges in the design of project was ensuring the project met the Town’s limited budget, supported by a $14M SRF grant award for water/wastewater. Through a combination of creative design and funding solutions and selection of a minimally invasive technology such as low pressure sewer, DCCM was able to secure reasonable bids that allowed the project to proceed.

They are always organized and available if there are questions. I have seen Aaron Crow, Poject Manager, work along with his team members as he is always clear and concise on what he is asking for. I believe the team excels under his leadership and never feel overwhelmed or worried about the projects because they communicate with us to keep everyone organized and on task. They have definitely been an asset to our Town and Utility!” Erika Goble Wheatland Deputy Clerk

Verdera North Water Infrastructure Project

Verdera North Water Infrastructure Project Lincoln, CA The project provides the City with adequate drinking water supply and storage to enhance the resiliency of the water supply system and accommodate growth. Together these improvements provide the northern areas of Lincoln with safe and reliable drinking water. In addition, the metering station and 42-inch pipeline will also be used to serve a large portion of western Placer County when Placer County Water Agency’s future Ophir Water Treatment Plant and 60-inch pipeline is connected to the metering station. DCCM provided program management, project management and design oversite services from inception through construction including developing project budgets, consultant selection (engineering and CM), preliminary design studies, environmental processing, project approvals, design oversight, bidding and award, SCADA, construction, and start-up. The major elements of this $25M project included: 1.3-miles of 42-inch CMLC steel pipeline 4,500sf pressure reducing/metering station 5-MG pre-stressed concrete tank 0.9-miles of 36-inch ductile iron pipe 933-feet of 16-inch PVC pipeline to high elevation customers Decommissioning a 7-acre municipal water storage pond Pad and yard piping for a future 5-MG tank Extensive oak tree mitigation planning Recreational trail around the project site At a Glance APWA Sacramento, CA Project of the Year “Environment (Water)” Award $25M Project Cost Markets Water Municipal Services Program Management Water
