Town Storm Drainage System
Town Storm Drainage System Wainwright Morrison Hershfield
Morrison Hershfield was commissioned to study the existing stormwater drainage system, which serviced the centre and business section of the Town of Wainwright AB.  The existing system was undersized, causing frequent flooding during the summer months.  The study recommended a complete rehabilitation of the stormwater drainage system.

Morrison Hershfield completed the detailed design of the the new system, with a total length of 3000m, was comprised of three elements: pipe, ditching and two 2-acre stormwater detention ponds.  Due to the limited clearances with existing utilities and infrastructure, the piping system was designed to accommodate the gradient restrictions while providing the required capacities and long-term maintainability.  This was accomplished with the use of round and arch aluminized CMP pipe, ranging in size from 750 mm to 1790 X 1360 arch.
