Thomas Manor Park Pond & Pump Station Improvements
This project involved improvements within the existing City of El Paso – Thomas Manor Park, situated southeast of the intersection of Bernadine Avenue and Knights Avenue in South El Paso, Texas.
The improvements encompassed the construction of a new multi-level, 2.64-acre-foot park ponding area, a new 4,000-GPM pump station with corresponding piping, a control room, standby generator, and jib crane, RCP (Reinforced Concrete Pipe), sanitary sewer force main, and water lines. Related site work improvements included an asphaltic-concrete paved walking trail, canopies, basketball courts, a new parking lot area, driveways, sidewalks, curbing, grass sod, and a new irrigation system.
CQC's Construction Materials Testing (CMT) services involved performing soil moisture-density relationships for both on-site and imported soils and verifying soil compaction testing on existing subgrade soils, base course materials, and approved backfill soil materials. CQC's Project Engineer provided supplemental supervision and delivered timely testing reports to support ongoing fieldwork, ensuring minimal disruptions to the overall schedule. During construction, CQC assisted the construction team in evaluating soil bearing capacity at the bottom of the lift station, addressing challenges stemming from flooding during construction.
Additional recommendations were made to address issues related to pumping clayey soils, collapse/sloughing of existing soils, and the reprocessing of saturated soils in new paving areas. CQC's services facilitated effective control of change orders for the Owner and supported construction progress with prompt responses.
