Delaware County, IN
Countywide Bridge Inspection
HWC completed inspection, documentation, load rating, and reporting of Delaware County’s 193 bridges from 2006 through 2014.
Of the County’s 193 bridges, seven bridges required element level inspection, six bridges required fracture critical inspection, and six bridges required underwater inspection. In addition, 30 bridges were in a condition that required a load posting. Through coordination with INDOT and the County, HWC reduced the number of bridges requiring underwater inspections by 13 and eliminated five special detail inspections, saving thousands of dollars.

Irongate Storm Sewer Improvements Study
HWC provided engineering and survey services for Zionsville, Indiana to complete the development of a stormwater planning study for the Irongate Storm Sewer system and contributing drainage watershed. The study area was generally the area west of Ford Road, south of Oak Street, east of Lexington Drive, and north of the adjacent subdivision located south of the Irongate Subdivision.
The project included collecting GIS data which was then provided to the town, allowing them to update their own GIS system with more detailed information. Additionally, research into easements, property ownership, and sewer ownership was completed.
Through analysis of the existing system, HWC Engineering recommended two phases of proposed improvements that address the drainage issues. The study was completed in 2015 and construction of the first phase of improvements began in 2020.

Lafayette Area 21
HWC worked with the City of Lafayette to complete the Service Area 21 – Sewer & Water Utility Master Plan Project. Service Area 21 refers to a 4,000-acre area outside the corporate limits of Lafayette.
A crossing of Wildcat Creek and I-65 was evaluated as part of this study. Connecting the water service to Lafayette’s dual water pressure zone system was also evaluated.
The area is largely agricultural but includes several housing developments and the potential for commercial development. As such, there was a need for water and wastewater utilities to service the area.
The final plan included the phased extension of water and sewer services to the area. Future phases can extend these utilities throughout the entire service area and consist of a new well field for supplemental water supply due to the impacts of the proposed Hoosier Heartland corridor.
The estimated construction costs for both phases developed in the plan is $5.8 million. Design and construction management of Phase I were completed by HWC with construction inspected in 2020.

Greenwood, IN
Western Regional Interceptor
HWC completed the design of the Western Regional Interceptor which resulted from a master planning effort completed in conjunction with an IDEM-mandated compliance plan. The proposed project includes a new regional interceptor for the western sanitary sewer service area for the City of Greenwood. The interceptor will collect flow from White River Township via gravity to relieve the City’s existing interceptors in the old downtown area and east side which are currently at capacity and experience surcharging and overflows. The proposed interceptor runs from SR 135 at the southeast end to SR 37 to the northwest. It generally follows Turkey Pen Creek and Honey Creek and runs adjacent to or in between several subdivisions which have experienced significant growth over the last 25 years. The proposed interceptor connects to Citizen Energy Group’s existing 102” diameter South Marion County Regional Interceptor.
