DUNLEITH LANE DRAINAGE SYSTEM Justin Lyle and Cody Binder Senior Design Advisor: Mohamed Zeidan Construction ET 10/08/2014

Objective  To understand what the drainage problem is on Dunleith Lane in Mandeville, Louisiana.  Once the problem is fully understood, formulate the most cost efficient way to correct the problem.

Overall Vision  Repair the drainage issue on Dunleith Lane  Reduce the amount of standing water in the ditches after storms  Prevent any flooding from happening in the streets or the back yards of the occupants

Research on Drainage Correction  Research different ways that different drainage issues are corrected  See how this particular drainage problem compares to other common drainage issues  Research flow rate formulas and how they will apply to the drainage on Dunleith Lane

Deliverables  Through the use of surveying and soil mechanics we will be able to understand and evaluate the drainage issue  Drafting will also be required in order to get the drawing on paper with proper dimensions and elevations applied, AutoCAD will be the tool we use to do our drafting  Some fluid mechanics will also be required in order to calculate the flow rates of the drainage system we plan to establish  Estimating the amount of land that will be need to be cut and filled will also play a role in this project  Lastly, project management skills will be required to go about the project in the most cost efficient manner.
