Client
Village of Libertyville
As part of its Stormwater Master Plan, CBBEL worked with the Village of Libertyville on the Copeland Manor Flood Reduction Project, which was aimed at improving the storm sewer system to further reduce flooding throughout the Village.
CBBEL completed design and construction engineering for more than 700 linear feet of 9 by 5 foot reinforced concrete box culvert, 400 linear feet of 60-inch storm sewer, and 725 linear feet of 96-inch relief storm sewer. These improvements discharge to the Des Plaines River and are designed to provide a 100-year level of flood protection.
The first phase of the project included reports on wetlands and endangered species, as well as topographic survey and geotechnical studies to locate and evaluate all drainage structures within the project limits. The second phase of the project saw final design and permitting, as well as public outreach, coordination with the Village on grant applications and continual stakeholder engagement.
