Severn-Tyndale SDIP

The Severn-Tyndale Storm Drainage Improvement Project (SDIP) involves replacing approximately 500 linear feet of undersized and deteriorating 48-inch to 66-inch corrugated metal pipe between Tyndale Avenue and Chandworth Road in Charlotte, North Carolina, to mitigate recurring residential flooding and enable upstream stormwater improvements currently in design that will resolve seven outstanding service requests for failing infrastructure. The estimated project cost is $11,500,000, with work including installation of new drainage structures such as precast box culverts, temporary water line relocation, and foundation protection at four specified properties.

The project is governed by municipal specifications including CLDS 20.03 and CLDS 10.17B, with implied adherence to NCDOT standards for manhole frames and asphalt paving.
