Normandy Lane Force Main: Scufflefield Creek Crossing Emergency Repairs

Project Manager: Eric Goodrich
Client: Hampton Roads Sanitation District
Completion Date: 2007
Original Contract Amount: $564,000.00
Project Duration: 2006-2007

Hampton Roads Sanitation District contracted Environmental Quality Resources to enhance an existing wetland located near Virginia Beach, VA. In order to perform earthworks on the site, a barge had to be implemented to elevate the excavator since there was no stable dry land in the vicinity.

Following excavation, the border of the proposed wetland addition was encircled using 20” diameter EZ-logs stacked on top of one another in a pyramidal form to create an environmentally friendly retention wall. Local dredge material was then incorporated to fill the gap between existing conditions and the new edge line. Spartina alternifolia served as the stabilizer and habit enhancement plant material for the new wetland area.
