Underground Construction for a Combined Sewer Overflow System in Providence, Rhode Island
Abstract
The underground construction for the Phase I Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) Project is on an impressive scale by any measure, appearing more so in a midsize city like Providence, RI. The Narragansett Bay Commission recently completed $350 million in construction to improve the water quality in Narragansett Bay. This project included a number of serious challenges, delays, and disputes. Looking back on this complex project completed within budget, it is hard to consider the work as anything other than a success. Along the way, this outcome did not always appear certain.
