832 Dobson Storm Drainage Improvement Project

Trench shields and steel spreaders bracing the excavation as crews set box culvert between two homes

Project Overview

Awarded by the City of Charlotte on August 11, 2025, this project enhances stormwater management, reduces roadway and property flooding, and improves the long-term condition of public infrastructure. Existing steel storm drainage pipe is removed and replaced with precast concrete box culverts and reinforced concrete pipe, new water and sanitary sewer mains are installed, and foundation protection safeguards nearby homes during construction. Impacted streets are restored with full-depth asphalt reconstruction, milling and resurfacing.
