Early in 2000, Lamp Rynearson was selected by the City of Omaha to provide design and construction administration services for infrastructure improvements associated with the new $281 million Omaha Convention Center/Arena. Working as a leader and coordinator with the multi-disciplined design team, Lamp Rynearson developed a Master Plan for the 120-acre site and surrounding redevelopment areas. The team included subconsultants in the areas of landscape architecture and master planning, event traffic management, parking facilities, demolition, and geotechnical, mechanical/electrical and environmental engineering.
Lamp Rynearson responsibilities included master plan preparation, platting, demolition and site grading, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, public streets and parking lots, and utility coordination. Lamp Rynearson's services included hydrologic/hydraulic analysis, design and construction administration for the major trunk sewers through the Qwest Center Omaha site which serve as the downstream link for sewer separation in the Burt-Izard basin.
The site-grading plan was designed to accommodate temporary floodwater storage and minimize off-site borrow. To achieve the best results, Lamp Rynearson conducted a hydrologic analysis of the five-square-mile urbanized watershed area that drains through the project site.
Lamp Rynearson also designed extensive sewer improvements, including a large trunk storm sewer providing additional capacity for areas in northeast Omaha subject to basement flooding. Part of the solution included the design of a separate sanitary sewer system and pumping facilities to low drainage during periods of high water on the Missouri River. This storm sewer involved the largest precast pipe ever constructed in the city of Omaha.
