The Margaret Turner Storm Drainage Improvement project consists of a 145-acre watershed located in northwest Charlotte, North Carolina, near Brookshire Boulevard. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Storm Water Services (CMSWS) identified this area for study and improvements due to reports of road flooding and residential structure flooding in the Margaret Turner subdivision. CMSWS partnered with The Isaacs Group P.C. to complete the planning study, design, public outreach, and construction administration services. Drainage improvements within the project area included a 13-foot by 4-foot reinforced concrete box culvert, a 42-inch pipe culvert, and natural channel improvements. Due to the space constraints, a detailed shoring plan for storm drainage construction was developed to protect existing infrastructure and install the new system. The design included extensive relocation of existing utilities and utility coordination during construction to reduce the disruption of services to the residents in the neighborhood.
