Re: West Lucas and Gladys Storm Sewer point Repair and Cavity Repair
Emergency Work
This letter Is to inform you that the City of Beaumont Engineering Department was notified by the
Streets and Drainage department about two cavities at the Intersection of West Lucas Drive and Gladys
Avenue on May 9, 2023. These cavities were secured at the time by the Street and Drainage
department by placing steel plates In the roadway,
Investigation and inspection of this line led to the discovery that the storm sewer trunkline on Lucas,
an aluminized steel Type 2 arch pipe, 103"x71" In size, had several failed areas within the intersection
that caused cavities on the surface. This storm sewer was installed during the 1995 West Lucas Drive
Widening Project, The line begins south of Laurel at the tie-in to the DD6 ditch and runs north to
Folsom.
The steel plates securing the cavities allowed time for the Engineering Department to reach out to
Vortex Companies for further assistance, Vortex was able to successfully televise the limits of the
storm sewer line, from south of Laurel to Folsom, while also performing Ground Penetrating Radar
(GPR) survey of the line to determine if other cavities have started to form between the pipe and the
concrete pavement.
This survey and inspection is being finalized and a cost estimate for the needed repairs Is being put
together by Vortex Companies. However, on December 5, 2023, the Engineering Department was
notified by the Streets and Drainage department that the steel plates previously placed at the
intersection of Lucas and Gladys have started to settle and required a larger plate to be placed to
secure the roadway.
Due to the heavy traffic at this intersection and the preliminary findings of the survey and inspection
showing defects with the storm line, Public Works/Engineering has determined that the repair of these
cavities and repair of the storm sewer line, must be performed on an emergency basis.
