The Abram Creek Culvert: How Burying 1 Mile of Stream Allowed Cleveland's Airport to Expand

Aldrich, John / Vilem, Mark / Oakland, Michael

The City of Cleveland is expanding Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CHIA) to increase capacity and meet modern airport capacity and safety standards. To do this, new runway systems must cross one mile of Abram Creek, an urban stream with an 8 square mile drainage area. This paper summarizes the alternatives evaluated, hydraulic design features, geotechnical considerations, sediment and erosion control approach, and airfield security considerations.

A Culvert for Abram Creek

Aldrich, J. / Vilem, M. / Oakland, M. | British Library Online Contents | 2003

A Culvert for Abram Creek - Expanding Cleveland's airport required that a mile-long section of stream located within a deep, steep ravine be buried. The resulting culvert called for a design that would address significant hydraulic, geotechnical, and erosion control issues.
