Engineering Chattanooga’s Future

By Eddie Wade, P.E.

Chattanooga is a perfect place to appreciate all types of engineering. Described as the River City, Scenic City and Gig City, the Tennessee town owes its legacy to engineers.

Stroll across Market Street Bridge. Run down the Tennessee Riverwalk. Ride your bike around
VA’s Raccoon Mountain Reservoir or drive over Chickamauga Dam. These are only a few of the examples of the engineering feats that serve as the foundation for this City.

The Citico Creek project address flooding in Chattanooga.

Though much of our work takes place underground and out of sight, the effects of our work are felt throughout the community. LDA Engineering recently partnered on a project with Cannon & Cannon Engineering to solve overflow issues at Citico Creek. Not only was Citico Creek the first interceptor project completed under the EPA Consent Decree, but there was also additional pressure to complete the project within the strict schedule of 180 days.

A flooding solution with widespread benefits

By Don Mauldin, P.E.

 
Founders Park 1 (640x479) (2)Local governments across the country must make difficult decisions when approving public works projects because financial resources have become as precious as clean water.

A project with layers of perks that extend beyond the scope of the initial problem are more likely to be funded by cities. Other single-solution projects are increasingly being postponed or canceled entirely in favor of ones with multiple benefits to the city and its taxpayers.

EPA Orders aren’t just for “Big Cities”

Assessing the Capacity of a Small Community’s Sanitary Sewer System

Sewer_cover350by Lee Gentry, P.E.

In 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified the City of Oak Ridge, Tennessee (City), that it must upgrade its sanitary sewer system to eliminate sewer overflows.  The notice was a “tall order” indeed.  The major components of the Administrative Order were to:

  • Document previous sanitary sewer overflows;
  • Prepare a sewer overflow response plan, or SORP;
  • Implement a management, operations and maintenance program, or MOM;
  • Complete a system evaluation and rehabilitation plan, or SERP; and (5) implement the rehabilitation plan.

By Lee Gentry, P.E.

Floodphoto400Starting this October, some property owners should expect to see a rate increase because of changes in how flood insurance is managed on the federal level.
