Cowabunga Bay
Cowabunga Bay
Hydro-Arch constructed the walls of the Wave Pool Equipment Building utilizing the shotcrete process. Fixed road elevations created severe size constraints for the storm drain system. Hydro-Arch’s engineer ES2 designed a low, wide arch structure that met the heavy flow requirements and fit easily within the size constraints. Location: Henderson, NV Owner: Splash Management, LLC Structural Engineer: Aquatic Development Group, […]

Coyote Springs Cart Tunnel
Coyote Springs Cart Tunnel
A new master-planned community 50 miles north of Las Vegas required a large golf cart tunnel for their PGA Golf Club. Construction time was critical and Hydro-Arch built this tunnel with a span of 24’ and 10.5’ in just three weeks. The efficient arch design required less steel and concrete than conventional designs, significantly reducing cost. Location: Coyote Springs, NV Owner: Coyote Springs Land Company Civil […]

Deer Springs Town Center Upper Las Vegas Wash
Deer Springs Town Center Upper Las Vegas Wash
Additional parking was needed for the development of a large box mall. A section of the Upper Las Vegas Wash bisected the mall property. By capping 1,200’ of this rectangular channel the property was unified and provided with additional parking. Post-tensioning the deck resulted in 27% cost savings. The channel walls were reinforced with the use of shotcrete, resulting in […]

GREEN VALLEY CROSSING
GREEN VALLEY CROSSING
Over 3,000 feet of 28 foot span arched culvert was required for the new Green Valley Crossing Shopping Center. As always, speed of construction was very important. The Hydro-Arch culvert system had production rates of 90 feet per day. However, the speed of construction was governed by the excavation. Almost the entire excavation had to be blasted through rock. A cold spell for several weeks required thermal insulating blankets and space […]

Kern County NASCAR
Kern County NASCAR
Hydro-Arch designed and built the access tunnel for the very first NASCAR facility in Kern County, California in the city of Bakersfield. As a short track, it extends a little more than 2/3 of a mile while banking an extraordinary 14 degrees, one of the most severe in Nascar. The tunnel is 220’ long, 24’ wide and 13.25’ tall. It provides […]

Repair of Lake Las Vegas Bypass Conduits
Repair of Lake Las Vegas Bypass Conduits
The Hydro-Arch repair of the Lake Las Vegas Bypass Conduits was designed to prevent any future structural problems. Damage to the conduits was caused by abrasion due to sand and gravel carried by the flow of the Las Vegas Wash. A super strong concrete with up to 20,000 PSI and excellent abrasion resistance was used for the repair. This high strength abrasion resistant material […]

Centex Homes was looking for a prominent feature for their new home development in Menifee, California. This bridge sits adjacent to the recreation center which is the heart of the project. It was designed to allow small boats to navigate through it with a minimum 4’ water depth. Hydro-Arch also designed two other structures in case of overflow. To extend the life of the structure and […]

Vegas Grand
Vegas Grand
A major flood control project made possible the construction of the Vegas Grand Condominium Project. The Vegas Grand project put the confluence of the Flamingo Wash and the Tropicana Wash underground, freeing above ground use for parking and landscaping. Flood waters from Flamingo Road and the site required a partially open bridge design to bring water into the culvert. This, coupled with other hydraulic requirements […]
