Don’t Get “Bogged Down”—Adapting the Upper Boggy Wastewater Design on the Fly
Publication: Pipelines 2023
ABSTRACT
Designing infrastructure in a rapidly growing city like Austin, Texas, brings many challenges such as overlapping public and private projects and working in bustling, congested corridors. Adapting to changes in the project scope on the fly is key to delivering a project and avoiding costly change orders in construction. This presentation will focus on highlights from the Upper Boggy West Wastewater Line Improvements Project in east Austin, which includes over 5,000 LF of 36-, 24-, and 15-in. wastewater line and over 2,000 LF of 24-, 12-, and 8-in. water line improvements, including over 2,000 LF of trenchless construction.
