We are thrilled to reach the ribbon-cutting milestone on the Norfolk Ohio Creek Watershed National Disaster Resilience Project! After over three years of being on-site, we are able to give these transformed neighborhoods back to the residents!
Last week, the City of Norfolk hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony that included construction team members, the design team, city and state officials, and residents to celebrate the project’s conclusion. As the construction manager on the project, MEB was proud to be a part of the event.
“We are thankful for the opportunity to serve the City of Norfolk as the construction manager for the first major stormwater resilience project in the City. We would also like to thank the residents of Chesterfield Heights and Grandy Village for tolerating the disruption to their daily lives as community improvements were put in place. We are confident that the work the project team of designers, subcontractors, and City Staff put in place will improve the resiliency of the community for decades to come.” // Tim Griffin, Vice President – Civil & Environmental

In 2016, the City of Norfolk received a $112 million grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, making this project possible.
The project included providing flood protection via earthen berms, concrete retaining walls, raised roadways, and improvements to stormwater, sanitary sewer, and waterlines. Environmental assets included a living shoreline, wetlands creation, and urban stormwater bioswales. Two pump stations were built for stormwater removal: the Ballentine Pump Station included three 34,000 GPM pumps, and Haynes Creek Pump Station has four 7,600 GPM pumps. Each included an industrial duplex sump pump system to control maintenance dewatering of the wet well.
Community connectivity features included a pile-supported fishing pier, “Resilience Park” with multi-use sports field, playgrounds, and community gathering spaces, and improvements to walkways throughout the 64-acre site.
