Project Constraints

There were multiple constraints the team discussed that may hinder the completion of this project, these are discussed in the Final Proposal. The only problem that did occur was an accumulation of snow/ice within the channel reach that delayed the team in collecting soil sampling. Field work was planned to begin in January. The team collected samples in March due to snow/ice in the area. Other project constraints included time constraints and limited right of way access to change the channel due to McConnell Drive.

Task 1

Site Investigation

A site investigation will be done in order to provide a general sense of the overall health and functionality of the channel. The channel inventory will be taken to assess the drainage course, site conditions, and inventory for areas of concern.

Task 2

Previous Studies

Previous studies will be analyzed to determine a logical starting point and progression plan for the project.

Task 3

Geomorphic Assessment

To address the client’s concern of geomorphic stability the team will perform a geomorphic assessment. In doing this information will be collected that will influence decision making during the final design.

Task 4

Geotechnical Analysis

A geotechnical analysis will be done on various samples throughout the site to classify the soils present in the channel.

Task 5

Biological and Ecological Assessment

A biological and ecological assessment is needed for the identified reach of the channel.

Task 6

Open Channel Design

The open channel design will use softwares to analyse the cross sections of the wash and the culverts present under the Flagstaff Urban Trail's crossing of the wash.

Task 7

Plan Set

The final plan set will be based off analysis and goals from previous tasks. The design will be a natural channel that is geomorphically stable and addresses problem areas within the channel.

Task 8

Project Impacts

The proposed design will undergo a broad impact analysis. The information obtained within project impacts will be provided to the stakeholders to ensure project completion will be beneficial to all parties involved.

Task 9

Project Deliverables

Deliverables have been distinguished between client and course deliverables.

Task 10

Project Management

Project Management outlines the duties required for satisfactory project management during the completion of this project. Tasks pertaining to project management include meetings, correspondence, and management of scheduling and resources.
