ABOUT THE PRESENTATION

The Ohio State University and Ohio University ASCE Student Chapters will provide an overview of their activies throughout the last year.

EMH&T will then present on the Cannon Drive Roadway and Levee Project.  A significant portion of The Ohio State University’s (Ohio State) main campus is impacted by the 100-year and 500-year floodplain of the Olentangy River. The previous earthen embankment constructed along the river’s edge is not sufficient to be recognized as a certified levee. In order to address the flood risk concerns and create a certified flood levee, Ohio State chose to implement a project that included the realignment of Cannon Drive, the enhancement of green space along the Olentangy River, and the creation of approximately 12 acres of developable land to support the university and its medical center.  This presentation will discuss the features of the project and the challenges during the design and construction.
