WSP engineer: St. Pete Beach coastal project begins data-collection phase
Summary
WSP engineer Veil Balani told officials the coastal resilience project for St. Pete Beach is in a data-collection phase focusing on three neighborhoods; the team is gathering geotechnical, survey and environmental information before moving to modeling and 30% design next year.
Veil Balani, an engineer on the leadership team with WSP, told the City of St. Pete Beach that the coastal resilience project is currently in a data-collection phase focused on three neighborhoods. "We're getting data collection phase for the project, so we really have a good understanding of, what's going on in existing conditions," Balani said, explaining that the team is assembling technical information before starting design work.
Balani listed specific field activities under way, including geotechnical borings, survey work and vehicle-based data collection around seawalls and docks. He said the team has spoken with residents to understand local flooding problems, and that the next steps are modeling to determine impacts and then progressing to a 30% design milestone in the new year.
