I-65/SR 28 Utilities

Based on economic development and utility planning studies completed by HWC, Clinton County retained HWC to complete design and construction phase services of the recommended project for wastewater and water utilities near I-65 and SR 28. This project included new wastewater collection and water supply facilities to serve existing and potential development near the I-65/SR 28 interchange, as well as unincorporated areas along the SR 28 corridor, west of the City of Frankfort and west of CR 450.

Previously, no public water or wastewater facilities existed in the project area. The scope of work included approximately 10,000’ of gravity sewers (ranging in size from 8” to 15”), two triplex lift stations, approximately 4,000’ of dual 6” and 8” force mains, approximately 18,000’ of dual 8” and 12” force mains (directionally drilled), approximately 24,000’ of 18” water main with associated hydrants and valves, four crossings of SR 28 via jack and bore, and an automatic flushing station to maintain water quality.

Significant land right-of-way acquisition was required for the infrastructure necessary to construct the project. The water and wastewater facilities were connected to the City of Frankfort’s systems, and wastewater treatment for the proposed wastewater collection system is provided by the City of Frankfort. The project was completed in 2021 at a project cost of approximately $15 million.

Due to available funding, a second phase including a 500,000-gallon elevated water tank was designed by HWC and completed in 2023.

Edison Park

The City of Hammond tasked our design team with incorporating a variety of recreational components that would meet the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods. Unique elements include an agility course, artificial turf sports courts with backer board surrounds, and a “skatespot”. Additionally, the custom play surfacing design illustrates historic themes of Thomas Edison’s inventions into a vibrant, contemporary graphic. Now rejuvenated, Edison Park has become central to the community’s quality of life and sense of place.

Madison Street Underpass Flooding Mitigation

HWC provided planning, design, and project management services for the Madison Street Underpass Flooding Mitigation project in Muncie, Indiana.

Utilizing conveyance upgrades in conjunction with stormwater pumping and storage, HWC addressed a critical drainage hazard in the heart of Muncie. Madison Street, the arterial north/south road through the City, crosses under three railroad lines, which creates a regional low-point that ties into one of the City’s CSO trunk-lines.

The study included hydrologic modeling of contributing watersheds, hydraulic modeling of several nearby CSO and separate storm sewer systems, and the development of numerous design alternatives to determine a solution to address persistent flooding and stormwater collection.

The recommended project provided capacity for the 100-year event and had an approximate cost of $6.7 million. The first phase of the project provided protection up to a 10-year event at an initial approximate cost of $4 million. Future phases, if implemented, will bring the system up to the full 100-year capacity.

Improvements included two 13,000 GPM 250hp storm pumps, two 1,600 GPM 20hp force main pumps, a 750,000-gallon ground storage tank, 2,200’ of 16” force main directionally drilled, backup generator, wet well, control valves, and 500’ of gravity storm sewers to the station. The first phase was funded via the Guaranteed Savings/Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMAX) procurement method, and Bowen Engineering was the selected savings provider/contractor, working closely with HWC’s staff during design and construction.

2nd Street Rehabilitation

HWC replaced all sidewalks and curb and gutter in this downtown District of Aurora, Indiana. This project included minor drainage improvements, as well as the installation of pavement markings, new signage, and decorative crosswalks using pavers. ADA compliant curb ramps were also constructed and the pavement received a preventative maintenance mill and overlay of 1.5”. Coordination with business owners was critical as sidewalk was removed and replaced and as milling and paving operations ensued. HWC not only designed the project, but developed the bidding documents and conducted construction observation and administration. The project was completed at the end of 2018.

Main Street Rehabilitation

HWC provided both crack sealing and a PM 1.5” mill and overlay in different sections of this Main Street Rehabilitation project. HWC also met with the Town and Contractor to identify specific areas that required full-depth patching.

Project improvements included reconstruction of curb and gutter and sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, minor drainage improvements to the storm sewer system, and reworking of sidewalks and curb ramps in front of the Town Hall to improve pedestrian and ADA access.

This project required design, bidding services, construction observation, and administration. Throughout the project, HWC kept the Town informed on the construction status and involved them when necessary to respond to the Contractor’s questions and concerns. The project was completed at the end of 2018.
