OMID Project Groundbreaking ceremony

6/1/2015

0 Comments

 
On June 2, several members of NTH attended the groundbreaking ceremony that was held at Riverbends Park in Shelby Township, MI for the Oakland-Macomb Interceptor Drain (OMID) Contract 5 and 6 projects. The OMID is a large interceptor sewer, approximately 20 miles in overall length that serves approximately 830,000 residents of Macomb and Oakland Counties. 

This project began in August 2004 when a developing sinkhole was encountered at the intersection of Fontana Drive and 15 Mile Road in the City of Sterling Heights over the Romeo Arm of the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department’s (DWSD) Oakland Macomb Interceptor System (OMIS).  As the emergency repair work continued to restore the affected roads and subsurface infrastructure, another question was being raised, “How can we find and prevent future sinkholes.”  With NTH at the helm, the remainder of the system was inspected, and found to be in very poor condition in several areas, necessitating the OMID Drainage District to undertake a $170 million, seven year repair program to be conducted under six separate contracts.  

NTH has been involved in this massive project from the beginning and this groundbreaking marks the final stages of the project which is scheduled to be completed in June 2016.  The ceremony included remarks from Keith Swaffer, Executive Chairman of NTH, Anthony Marrocco, Macomb County Public Works Commissioner, Jim Nash, Oakland County Resources Commissioner, and Michael Gregg, Board Chair, Michigan Department of Agriculture and was attended by many others, including local media.
