Project Details

The City of Madison needed funding to help with the cost of these channel repairs. Banner worked with the city to submit damage information to FEMA for review and acceptance of funding assistance. FEMA approved the submittal, and we coordinated with FEMA representatives through the design and construction phases to ensure the improvements were designed and completed in accordance with FEMA's regulations.

Civil engineering improvements focused on restoring channel function and increasing long‑term resilience while minimizing impacts to surrounding areas. By stabilizing the channel and addressing scour and erosion, the project improves flood conveyance and protects adjacent infrastructure. Coordination with structural and architectural teams ensured that flood mitigation measures could be implemented while preserving historically significant features where required.

This project involved flood control channel mitigation and reconstruction along Park Creek at multiple locations in Madison, including Memorial Park. Civil work included removing accumulated sediment, mitigating scour beneath existing channel walls, reconstructing channel geometry, and installing a steel sheet-pile system to stabilize the channel and prevent future undermining. A failed 150‑foot section of channel wall was reconstructed with a new structural backup system to improve long‑term stability.

Banner Associates provided civil design and construction administration services, coordinating closely with structural and architectural disciplines to restore hydraulic capacity while supporting historic preservation requirements. The services we provided include:
