CPE Hydraulic Investigation
This investigation delves into the current operations and potential alterations of the study area around the CPE Plaza, focusing on drainage systems, manholes, and proposed solutions like rain gardens and additional piping. Through detailed analysis and visual representations, the study aims to evaluate and enhance the area's efficiency and sustainability. Future plans include modeling impacts using StormCAD and final decision-making based on gathered data.

CPE Hydraulic Investigation By: Kelly Best, Chelsea Burkett, and Shannon Sullivan
Representation: How should the study area be described? Process: How does the study area currently operate? Evaluation: Is the current study area working well? Overview Options: How might the study area be altered? Impact: What differences would these changes cause? Final Decision: How should the study area be changed?
Area of focus is around the CPE Plaza Grassy area around the clock-knot sculpture Basemap shows current piping system running through the area http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/graphics/buildings/cpe.jpg Representation of Area

Manhole Evaluation of Current Operations
Option 1: Rain Garden Drainage Area ft2 CPE Roof 42086 Calculations of area required to do this is shown to the right ft2 CPE Plaza 4000 ft2 46086 Potentially could help prevent flooding, improve water quality, and improve aesthetics Ideal Rain Garden Size 7681 ft2 http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3060/2916833427_cd7f8a42bb.jpg Options Option 2: Additional Piping under the Pedestrian Bridge Would help alleviate standing water on bridge during storms Creates more flow to the piping system
We plan to meet with the TA to discuss modeling the impact using StormCAD CAD design of rain garden Still To Come Creation of final database and decision
