How Angelo Underground Delivered a Complex Storm Drain Project in Beaverton
When Keith Green Construction needed emergency storm drain repairs at a busy commercial property in Beaverton, they turned to Angelo Underground for a complete solution. This project showcased our ability to handle complex utility work while keeping businesses running smoothly.
The Project Challenge
Keith Green Construction contacted us about a critical storm drainage system failure. The existing storm drain had multiple collapsed sections that needed immediate attention.
Key challenges included:
- Working around multiple existing utilities (communication, power, and gas lines)
- Maintaining full access for tenants during construction
- Meeting strict City of Beaverton specifications
- Coordinating with city officials for permitting and inspections
- Weather-dependent scheduling requirements
Our Comprehensive Solution
Angelo Underground developed a turnkey approach that addressed every aspect of the project from start to finish.
Original scope of work:
- Remove 125 linear feet of failed 6″ storm pipe
- Install new 6″ 3034 storm/sewer pipe replacement
- Install 3 new metal catch basins to match existing sizes
- Replace ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps
- Complete asphalt and sidewalk patching to city specifications
- Provide hydro jetting, pipe cleaning, and camera inspection
- Implement erosion control measures
- Handle bench removal/reinstallation and final site cleanup
Field adjustments during construction: As with many excavation projects, site conditions revealed additional work needed:
- Installed 55 linear feet of ductile iron pipe in specific areas
- Used specialized ductile iron fittings (1 Wye, 2 x 45° bends, 1 x 22° bend)
- Connected 25 linear feet of rain drain into the new catch basin system
- Replaced an additional 4′ x 5′ sidewalk panel per ROW inspector instructions
