Design and Construction of Drainage Improvements along I-94 in Valley City when Faced with Site Constraints and Surprises

  • Presentation
  • Prairie Rose Room 105
  • 09:30 AM
  • Brandon Barnes, Michael Johnson

Improvements to the I-94 drainage system were required because the existing storm sewer had reached the end of its design life, but site constraints prevented replacement along the existing alignment. Presenters will share lessons learned during design and construction when NDDOT navigated a corridor filled with surprises, including a historic dump site, an unmarked geothermal system, and contaminated groundwater. From old whiskey bottles to tanker trucks, many obstacles were overcome during construction of the new system to improve drainage in Valley City.
