Dallas Love Field Flood Control Studies

Huitt-Zollars conducted hydrologic and hydraulic studies to develop a comprehensive plan for adequate airport drainage and protection of the new terminal complex. Existing conditions are complex because of on-site and off-site discharges to the airfield and multiple discharge basins. Airfield flooding has occurred at the airport. A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was developed and employed to accurately analyze storm events for the watershed. The model simulates real-time drainage system performance during a storm event.
