Sci-Tek provided engineering consulting services for proposed green stormwater infrastructure facilities for the Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority (PWSA) as part of a broad planning effort for the A-22 Sewershed. The project involved evaluating high yield runoff locations, providing cost effective solutions using Green Infrastructure Best Management Practices, and providing conceptual plans to manage stormwater at the neighborhood level. This project is part of PWSA’s effort to help address the region’s combined sewer overflow problems. Sci-Tek provided site evaluations for proposed green stormwater infrastructure facilities in the Shadyside and the Polish Hill neighborhoods. As part of the scope of work Sci-Tek provided:
- A desktop review of hydrology, slide-prone slopes, soils, utilities, topography and historic and current land use of the site
- Preliminary and Final GSI Plans and Assessments
- Field visits to confirm the feasibility of selected BMPs
- Engineering Estimates for BMP Construction
Sci-Tek also provided geotechnical engineering services for select green stormwater infrastructure facilities in the Garfield and Polish Hill neighborhoods.
