The Project

Storm drainage and trail work at Butler Springs Park, the recreation district's ten-acre park off Butler Springs Road. The work ran the length of the walking trail between the ball fields and the tree line: new pipe and structures set below grade, a concrete flume cut into the slope to carry surface water down past the fields, riprap at the outfall, and the trail put back once the line was in.

The work, as built.

Photographed through the course of the work, from open trench to restored trail. Several frames show the park still fenced off from public use.

  • The lower run of the concrete flume alongside the park trail, with the tennis courts and playground beyond
  • Crew setting a drainage structure beside the park trail with a mini excavator alongside the ball field fence
  • Track loader and stacked storm pipe staged along the trail corridor between the fenced fields
  • Open excavation for a drainage structure, fenced off from the playground with safety barrier
  • Storm pipe and basin structures set in the open trench before backfill
  • Riprap placed at the outfall in the tree line to protect the discharge point from scour
  • Erosion control matting installed across the regraded slope above the new concrete work
  • The restored asphalt trail with silt sock along its edge, running past the bleachers and backstop
  • The finished trail running between the ball field backstop and the park tree line
