"Old Buckroe Road Sanitary Sewer Replacement"
Bloxoms Corner Force Main Replacement
HRSD Capital Improvement Program Project (BH015900) -
HRSD, your regional wastewater treatment utility, in coordination with the City of Hampton, is planning a project to replace existing HRSD and City sanitary sewer pipelines and public sewer service connections that are nearing the end of their useful life. This replacement project will also improve the system’s performance and ensure continued, reliable sewer service in the future.
The Old Buckroe Road Sanitary Sewer Replacement project is located in the Buckroe section of Hampton. The project consists of replacing approximately 5,900 feet of 8-inch sewer pipe with 12-inch sewer pipe along Old Buckroe Road and Buckroe Avenue from Foxhill Road to Seaboard Avenue and replacing approximately 450 linear feet of 20-inch sewer pipe along Foxhill Road. The proposed new pipe will also connect to an existing pipe in Colonial Acres Drive from the City of Hampton Pump Station 033. The work for this project will take place on the following roads and associated intersections: Old Buckroe Road, Foxhill Road, Silver Isles Boulevard, Buckroe Avenue, and Seaboard Road.
A primary concern with this project is the disruption of traffic within Old Buckroe Road. As part of the comprehensive traffic control developed to minimize traffic disruption, a combination of flagging and detours will be used where necessary to help direct traffic. Disruptions to traffic will be minimized primarily through the use of a detour of Old Buckroe Road. A single lane of traffic with flagging will be maintained for local traffic along Old Buckroe Road throughout the project.
Project Cost: $4.900,000

This project is a necessary part of a larger, federally-mandated program to reduce sanitary sewer overflows (SSO’s) during rainstorms. This project will provide updated sewer infrastructure that will help ensure HRSD’s ability to protect public health and the environment for decades to come.
-
We look at several routes/sites to determine what meets HRSD’s needs of availability, price, property agreement terms, ease of access to the property for construction, and future maintenance.

As part of the comprehensive traffic control developed to minimize traffic disruption, a combination of flagging and detours will be used where necessary to help direct traffic.

-
The contractor will ensure that access to residences and at least one entrance to businesses will be maintained throughout construction. Trash and mail services will not be affected. If necessary, the contractor will move trash containers from within a work zone to an area accessible for pickup and will be responsible for returning them to each residence.
-
Work will typically take place Monday through Friday during daylight hours (7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.). However, there may be times when extended hours, work at night, or weekend work may be necessary.
-
There may be instances when sewer lateral pipes or water service lines need to be relocated to eliminate a conflict with the proposed sewer pipeline. In these cases, you may be temporarily without water or sewer service while the work on the sewer laterals or water service lines is being performed. The contractor will notify you in advance of this work, so you can plan appropriately.
-
Where new pipelines are installed, asphalt, curb, gutters, driveway aprons, and grass will be removed and then restored upon completion of the project.
-
The typical construction noises such as construction equipment engines, back-up alarms, materials being delivered, diesel generators, air compressors, sheet pile driving, sawing, etc. should be anticipated at the active construction area. During construction, the contractor will be required to keep the roadways and storm drainage infrastructure free of dirt and other debris and to apply water to the site and vehicles leaving the site as needed to minimize dust.
-
The contractor will negotiate with a private property owner for a storage area in the project vicinity, and this site will be used for most of the equipment and supplies. The contractor will keep some supplies within the active work zone, in the public right-of way.
-
Construction workers will not be allowed to park their personal vehicles on the public streets. However, work trucks will be allowed to park within the active work zone.
-
The estimated cost for the project is $4.9 million and is financed by the wastewater treatment fees paid by HRSD customers.
