Solution: Large diameter, round reinforced concrete pipe was used to construct a stormwater management system for a downtown redevelopment project in Stillwater, Minnesota.
Reliable Stormwater Infrastructure for a Historic Downtown Redevelopment
Stillwater’s Chestnut Street Plaza project transformed a congested highway into a pedestrian-friendly destination featuring retail, art, and entertainment. To protect this revitalized space from flooding, project leaders specified round reinforced concrete pipe for its unmatched strength, long service life, and proven performance in high-traffic urban environments.
County Materials manufactured and delivered 150 LF of 96-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe, along with catch basins and manholes, to build an underground stormwater detention system. Reinforced concrete pipe is engineered to withstand heavy loads and extreme conditions, making it ideal for municipal infrastructure. Its long-term durability—serviceable for up to 100 years—offers communities a cost-effective solution with minimal maintenance.
Timely delivery of the large diameter pipe was critical to maintaining access to downtown businesses and keeping the construction schedule on track. County Materials coordinated closely with field crews to ensure safe transport and efficient installation in a busy urban setting.
The Chestnut Street Plaza project demonstrates County Materials’ ability to support community-focused redevelopment with dependable products and responsive service. Our stormwater solutions help municipalities build resilient infrastructure that protects public spaces and promotes long-term growth.
