Indianapolis awards Lower Pogues Run design

10 October 2013


Citizens Energy Group selected Parsons Brinckerhoff to design the Lower Pogues Run CSO tunnel in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana.

Lower Pogues Run is one of five major components of a 25-mile, deep-rock storage tunnel system to capture and convey CSO for treatment at the Southport wastewater treatment plant in Indianapolis.

The project includes approximately two-miles of 18ft finished diameter deep-rock tunnel that will receive flows from six existing primary CSO outfall structures in downtown Indianapolis.

Parsons Brinckerhoff is responsible for preparation of an advanced facility plan and detailed design of the tunnel project. The advanced facility plan report is expected to be completed by the end of 2013. Detailed design is scheduled for completion by the end of 2015 with construction slated for completion in 2021.
