Bergen County Golf Courses Drainage Analysis &
Design
|
|
 GEA provided Drainage
Assessments and Designs for amelioration of flooding and poor drainage
conditions for three (3) Golf Courses in Bergen County for the Bergen County
Department of Parks. The three courses and their respective rivers or
controlling streams included:· Darlington in Mahwah, NJ - Darlington Brook, tributary to Mahwah
River; Overpeck in Teaneck, NJ - Overpeck Creek; Rockleigh in Rockleigh,
NJ - Sparkill Brook and Sparkill Creek
The goal of the project, which was successfully achieved by GEA, was to find
specific solutions to drainage problems that had been plaguing the three golf
courses including the elimination of the delays to spring caused by wet spring
conditions.
Services included comprehensive hydraulic modeling and engineering design
assessments including:·
 | Field investigations and surveys of hydraulic structures· |
| Soils investigations and subsurface hydrogeologic analysis· |
| Coordination with Golf Course Architect for Golf Course
redevelopment· |
| Hydraulic watershed modeling· |
| Hydraulic analysis of hydraulic structures and development of flood
plain· |
| Use of HEC-1, HEC-2, TR-2, TR-20,TR-55 and culvert modules· |
| Assessment of Flood Plain Mapping by FEMA· |
| Wetlands delineation and mapping· |
| Engineering assessments and presentation of Drainage Improvement
Alternatives· |
| Development of cost estimates for improvements· |
| Preparation of individual Drainage Reports and Golf Course Drainage
Improvement Plans and Details |
Recommended improvements included: Addition and expansion of culvert and
channel capacity, subsurface drains, pump stations, grading changes, soil
improvement plan, embankments, soil erosion & sediment control plan, berms
and stormwater piping.
