Magnolia Heights Stormwater Improvements

Residents in this older downtown Tallahassee neighborhood have been suffering from nuisance and structural flooding for many years.  Genesis was retained by the City of Tallahassee Stormwater Management Division to prepare construction documents to completely rebuild the existing outdated stormwater conveyance system.  This included the analysis of multiple alternative solutions designed to increase conveyance, provide attenuation areas, and reroute stormwater flows to new areas which could be flooded.  The new conveyance system,  which consisted of a combination of curb inlets, redirected roadway conveyances, open ditches, and new curb and gutter, was designed around a complex network of older underground utilities, the majority of which could not be relocated.

In addition to the preparation of construction documents, Genesis also provided permitting services for wetland impacts, and conducted numerous public involvement meetings with approximately 75 residents affected by the project.
