Cook County, IL
Construction Cost
$95 million
Fee
$2.9 million
Client
Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago
CBBEL worked with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) for more than five years on the Addison Creek Reservoir, a flood control project designed to benefit the communities along Addison Creek. The 600-acre-foot reservoir is located in Bellwood and holds almost 200 million gallons of stormwater. The project included installation of two 87.5-inch steel pipes bored under the railroad tracks between the creek and the reservoir, as well as a concrete spillway to dissipate the energy of incoming floodwaters.
The CBBEL team also assisted the MWRDGC during construction of the reservoir, including on-site environmental services, field surveying services and review of shop drawings and submittals.
