TYNDALL AIR FORCE BASE SPUI DESIGN-BUILD / WATER MAIN
Gortemoller Engineering, Inc. (GE) provided professional engineering services for the stormwater management design of the overpass design-build project on SR 30 associated with the Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB) access gates, lift station and force main relocation of a Tyndall AFB system, and the relocation of a Bay County Water Main within the project limits. The project included stormwater treatment and attenuation design to meet FAA Circular Bird Airstrike Hazard (BASH) and Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) requirements with limited right-of-way for stormwater conveyance difficulties for the project. The project required extensive coordination with Northwest Florida Water Management District for the permittability of the project's stormwater design. Project highlights include improving downstream conditions for a Tyndall AFB drainage system by capturing and treating a previously uncontrolled and untreated basin.
The Water Main relocation included the design and construction of a 4,950 ft segment of 20" Ductile Iron Water Main for Bay County Utilities along SR 30 (US 98) in the vicinity of Tyndall AFB. The 20" Water Main was rerouted onto Tyndall AFB right-of-way, through an agreement with the base, in order to avoid potential conflicts with the adjacent roadway construction of a new Single Point Urban Interchanges at Airey and Louisiana Gates of Tyndall Air Force Base. The Water Main, owned by Bay County Utilities, provides water to Tyndall Air Force Base as well as the entirety of Mexico Beach. Other highlights include the relocation of two meters, which connected Bay County's Water Main to service lines owned by Gulf Coast Electric Cooperative, providing water to the Base as well as extensive utility coordination with GCEC, Tyndall AFB, Mediacomm, Uniti, and TECO Gas.
