Spring River Levee Improvements |
In 1993, flooding on the Spring River led to flooding behind the Carthage levee, subsequently overloading a sewage lift station. Raw sewage mixed with the floodwaters and backed up into the City of Carthage's industrial complex, including a turkey processing plant and a cheese plant. The economic impact during the cleanup of this event exceeded $2 million dollars. The US Economic Development Agency funded improvements to the levee, a new sewage pumping station and improvements at the wastewater treatment plant.
TSE designed and installed improvements to approximately 3/4 mile of the Carthage levee along Spring River, added two 300hp, 40,000 gpm storm-water pumps and a 12' x 20' levee flood gate for the railroad crossing.

In conjunction with this project, TSE also designed a new sanitary sewer lift station and approximately 1.5 miles of 20-inch pressure sewer main.

TSE completed a comprehensive drainage study for the City of Carthage, the Carter Branch and City Branch watersheds making recommendations for improvements to existing drainage structures to accommodate additional runoff from within the city limits.
Projects resulting from the study and designed by Tri-State Engineering include a regional

detention basin and open channel drainage structures at the Myers Park Airport, storm sewer improvement for the Pearl Street/Hawthorne Street neighborhood and drainage and street improvements for the River Street and Fairview Avenue area. This relieves existing structures and accommodates the future widening of River Street.
