Universal Orlando Resorts needed a number of repairs to stormwater drainage control structures for various ponds both inside and outside of the park.
Control Structure Repairs
The repairs completed by Enviro-Tech Systems, Inc. (ETS) included correcting operable weir elevations, modifying overflow weir assemblies to provide desirable discharge elevations and rates, installing fiberglass skimmers around weir openings, constructing concrete weir walls, installing new manhole access points, and reducing weir window sizes.
Confined-Space and Overnight Coordination
The project required confined-space entry because all structures were inside manholes. ETS also custom fabricated solutions to design flaws discovered in the field.
ETS completed the project despite two major hurricanes impacting Central Florida during the repairs. Work inside the park was performed overnight to avoid disturbing the Halloween Horror Nights event, requiring intensive coordination with Universal personnel and the security team.
