North End Community Center

Large concrete stormwater management units are installed in an excavated construction site, while workers and construction equipment operate in the background.

Large concrete stormwater drainage boxes are arranged in a row at a construction site, with a modern building and construction equipment visible in the background.

Several workers stand next to large concrete stormwater structures being installed in an excavated area at a construction site near a modern building.

Construction workers stand on a gravel foundation surrounded by black tarps, as large concrete sections are installed on site. Trees line the background alongside various construction vehicles.

Project Details

The City of Saint Paul, Minnesota, is building a new community center. This 25,000-square-foot building will include a gym, fitness rooms, and an outdoor plaza, among others, as well as improvements to an existing six-acre park.

As part of the project, an underground stormwater management solution was required. See photos of the large 6’-0” DoubleTrap basin designed in consideration of limited space on-site. After a rain event, the vault is drained through a connection to a wetwell and lift station that pumps the water out of the basin. The system was installed in just two days and manages 36,783 cubic feet of stormwater.
