The Village of Kenilworth’s 2023 Green Infrastructure Program included design and construction of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) and a separate storm sewer system for the east part of the village to control local flooding and reduce basement back-ups. TERRA provided hydrology and hydraulic (H&H) modeling of the entire East Kenilworth Watershed including existing combined sewer system, new proposed storm sewer system, proposed green infrastructure and overland flow using USEPA SWMM software package. Pourous concrete, pourous asphalt, and permeable pavers were all examined and reviewed to compare installation costs, maintenance requirements, stormwater management benefits, and life-cycle costs. Our detailed analysis afford the Village the ability to make an informed decision in selected the pavement system for their roadways.
As part of the project, TERRA designed more than a mile of storm sewer to separate the storm and sewage flow on the east part of the village. The project also included dry utility relocations, and design and replacement of more than several thousand feet of water mains. The project scope included construction management for storm sewer construction, water main replacement, combined sewer repairs and lining, erosion and sediment control, porous parkway restoration, and coordination for utility relocations. TERRA obtained MWRD WMO permit as well as IEPA permits for sewer and water main construction.
