Mid-2023 a new Flood map for Miami-Dade County affected most new ground-up construction projects as the minimum elevation of the first level was required to be higher than what the zoning code said, making the maximum height practically lower. UNTIL NOW! And Believe it or not, they made a decision that makes sense! With this new code, we now have to figure out not one but three potential base elevations to measure the maximum height of our projects. Want to know more about it? Click on the reel below.

📣ICYMI: Daily Herald - Once the work is completed next year, the basin will be added to the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago’s StormStore program. The $6 million flood-prevention project now underway in Wheeling should end decades of soggy suffering for residents of one neighborhood. The work targets the South Dunhurst subdivision, which is south of Dundee Road and east of Elmhurst Road. The neighborhood was built in the 1950s, and it doesn’t have a modern, underground stormwater system to keep its 183 homes dry. That program connects real estate developers who need to meet Cook County stormwater management requirements with landowners in the same watersheds whose properties have preapproved detention areas. Deals between the two parties then can be struck independently. As a result, the basin could have a positive impact for Wheeling beyond the homes that surround it. “The stormwater credits generated by the project can be used to attract and incentivize other projects that benefit our residents,” Village Manager Jon Sfondilis said. The South Dunhurst basin won’t be the village’s last flood-control project. Planning is underway for more improvements in town, including a new culvert beneath a northern stretch of Wheeling Road and bank stabilization along Buffalo Creek. And when they’re done, a new stormwater master plan will be developed, Wheeling Public Works Director Dan Kaup said. 📰 https://lnkd.in/dfpYvFgj The Daily Herald #MWRD #CookCounty #Wheeling #WheelingIllinois #StormwaterManagement #WastewaterTreatment MWRD - What We Do: https://lnkd.in/dRwC97wm

New York City just launched their own hydraulic model to analyze their 7,500 miles of sewer. With a large amount of combined sewer and I&I issues, this process could uncover more cost-effective projects to battle flooding. The article highlights a case study of the Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. This community's sewers were constructed in the early 20th Century and during heavy periods of rain, the system often backs up into basements. The new modeling software found a that upsizing the street pipes would be sufficient to capture the more intense rainfall. The solution costs about $60 million and will relieve flooding for 14,300 residents. #stormwatermanagement #civilengineer
