WACO 21ST CENTURY STORMWATER MASTER MODEL
CITY OF WACO, TEXAS
Scope of Work: The Waco City Council contracted with TWG to study Waco's drainage problems. Our task at hand was to create Waco's first drainage master plan since the 1960's. TWG studied all major waterways and drainage structures and recommended C.I.P. Projects for each watershed. Creation of a computer master model that could predict how development will affect flooding was incorporated into this project.
A dynamic, city-wide, stormwater management tool integrated with their Geographic Information System (G.I.S.) and created to be used on a daily basis by the private and public sectors alike.

WACO DAF FACILITY BRIDGE, ROADWAY, AND DRAINAGE CHANNEL
CITY OF WACO, TEXAS
Cost: $1M
Scope of Work: TWG was the lead design firm for the roadway which will serve as the only entrance into a future water treatment facility for the City of Waco. One of the many critical paths for the water treatment facility was based upon all construction of the entrance roadway being completed in and place by September 11, 2008. Construction began in February and included 2,000 LF of twenty-four foot wide ribbon-curb roadway, a 100 foot clear span bridge, and 3000 LF of a 60-foot wide drainage channel. Because the roadway was built entirely within the Corps of Engineer's Flowage Easement, the drainage channel was sized to offset the reduction in the volume inside the easement. The bridge was designed in accordance with TxDOT standards. The roadway was completed and was opened for traffic on September 4th.

WACO LANDFILL PLANNING AND IMPROVEMENTS
CITY OF WACO, TEXAS
Scope of Work: TWG was retained to prepare a permit modification that would increase the size of the individual cells, reduce construction cost, and increase operational efficiency. Further, we were successful in securing the approval for an alternative synthetic liner design to be used in place of TCEQ's standard liner specification (a 2-foot clay liner), saving the City of Waco 25-30% in the cost of the liner. TWG has also been successful in assisting the City with new operational procedures which have helped to increase the life of the landfill by increasing the densification of the waste. The Master Plan calls for 8 cells with the total life of the landfill lasting 34 years. To date, TWG has designed 3 of these cells.
