The City of North Myrtle Beach contracted with Bolton & Menk to provide design, permitting, and construction administration on a storm drainage improvement project. The project included the construction of a 900 linear feet of sheet pile wall to impound stormwater in a 100-acre wetland area along the side of Hillside Drive between 9th Avenue South and 6th Avenue South. The existing Hillside Drive roadway was raised 3 to 4 feet above existing grade to create a detention pond. As part of the project, 1,300 linear feet of 24-inch DIP water line was relocated along with the other utilities plus the creation of three retention/detention basins upstream of the 100-acre wetlands.
