TRESSLER STREET DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Client: City of North Miami | Miami-Dade County
The subject improvements included upgrading the existing drainage infrastructure by installing exfiltration trenches, solid piping, installation of new catch basin structures with baffles, regrading of swale areas, replacement of existing hand-built catch basins, swale retrofit, and other Best Management Practices (BMPs) along Tressler Street.
The proposed improvements eliminated flooding for 25-year critical events and reduced 100-year critical events. They also help reduce the pollutant loading to the Arch Creek Canal and, ultimately, Biscayne Bay by reducing the volume of stormwater runoff into these water bodies and reducing the flooding and potential health risks in the target area. The project also included the use of permeable pavements as a BMP feature to address swale parking in the area.
