SECTION 3. SOUTH BASIN PROJECTS
3.4.5 SFL-C-0005 (Highland Road – Burbank Drive Capacity Improvements)
Project Description
Purpose of the Project / Project Background
The SFL-C-0005 (Highland Road – Burbank Drive Capacity Improvements) project consists of
forcemain upgrades in the South Forced Lower Basin. This project includes the upsizing of
forcemain in an area that extends north to the intersection of Jefferson Highway and Tiger
Bend Road and continues south to the Staring Lane extension and Burbank Drive intersection.
The upgrades are designed to alleviate chronic SSOs at the pump stations and increase the
forcemain capacity. The upgrades range in size from 48-inch to 60-inch diameter.
Location
The first segment of forcemain from node BPS 507 to BPS 514 begins at BPS 507 near the
intersection of Kimbleton Avenue and Jefferson Highway. Upon leaving the pump station the
forcemain travels south through a servitude along the east edge of the Briarwood Golf Club
for approximately 2,800 feet before turning slightly east. At this point, the forcemain crosses
the golf club for approximately 1,300 feet before crossing Airline Highway. After crossing
Airline Highway, the forcemain continues south parallel to Pecue Lane. Approximately 1,200
feet passed the Airline Hwy, new 48-inch forcemain connects to an existing 42-inch PCCP
forcemain and 3,000 LF of existing forcemain is used for this alignment. Before I-10, the
existing 42-inch PCCP forcemain crossing connects to a new 48-inch forcemain that then
crosses I-10, Ward Creek, and the railroad, and continues south to BPS 514.The forcemain
resumes downstream of BPS 514 and continues south to Highland Road, crosses, and follows
the Entergy right-of-way to Buccaneer Avenue, then to Burbank Drive. It then follows
Burbank Drive to the intersection of Burbank Drive and Staring Lane extension.
Scope
SFL-C-0005 (Highland Road – Burbank Drive Capacity Improvements) includes
construction of approximately 12,600 feet of 48-inch forcemain, approximately 23,800 feet of
54-inch forcemain, and approximately 6,200 feet of 60-inch forcemain downstream of BPS
507 and BPS 514. Table 3-20 and Figure 3-33 shows the detailed scope of this project.
