MDWASD Tunnels Miami: Large Diameter Gravity Sewer Microtunnel within Downtown Brickell District
The City of Miami, Florida, is experiencing a resurgence of development following the economic recession of 2008. By 2013, numerous large-scale mixed use high rise complexes within the downtown Brickell area required Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) to implement significant expansion and modernization of both the existing sanitary sewer collection and transmission systems. MDWASD awarded the project to the design-build team of Ric-Man Construction Florida, Miami, and Jacobs Engineering Group, of Miami, as the lead design firm. This paper discusses various aspects of this unique sewer recapitalization design-build project needed to support high density re-development within the downtown and financial districts of Miami, and will include technical trenchless elements, permitting, traffic control, and stakeholder management. Executed in close coordination with a separate design-build project for the receiving Master Pump Station No. 3, this project constructed 4,100 linear feet of 48″ polymer concrete carrier pipe (60″ OD) by four separate Microtunneling drives, the longest of which totaled approximately 1,500 linear feet facilitated by the use of intermediate jacking stations within the pipe string. Successfully completed in January 2016, the project required intense coordination six (6) local and state jurisdictions and stakeholders. Additionally, construction and maintenance of traffic was coordinated with simultaneous ongoing projects for the Miami Avenue Bridge repair, Brickell Avenue improvements, the massive Brickell City Centre development, and numerous other ongoing development projects within the Brickell Downtown District.
