Both traditional and bioengineering stabilization methods were considered.
Blackhawk Creek is a flashy urban stream that drains more than 4,500 acres through the south side of Davenport. It exhibited severe bank erosion of 8 to 14 feet. The creek is closely bounded by Indian Road on the west and single-family residences on the east. The creek banks continued to erode, threatening the stability of Indian Road and a sanitary sewer main adjacent to the creek. Due to the bank erosion, several manholes were exposed, as well as a few sanitary sewer pipes. The situation needed to be addressed to prevent imminent failure of the sanitary sewer system and maintain the integrity of Indian Road.
Bolton & Menk completed all necessary services to bid the 3,400-foot bank stabilization project, including
On-site topographic survey
High-resolution aerial imagery via drone
USACE Section 404 permit
FEMA “no-rise” flood modeling
Floodplain development permit
Development of a concept design plan
Design of bank stabilization measures
Preparation of construction plans for bid
Our team identified and prioritized locations to be addressed. A mix of both traditional and bioengineering practices was applied to the problem locations. The resulting solution was a targeted, cost-effective, and resilient project to address the bank erosion and protect the adjacent infrastructure for the long term.
