Phoenix Valley Metro Rail
Phoenix, Arizona
The Phoenix Valley Metro Light Rail added 42 miles of new light rail and hosted stations in the metropolitan area. Today, approximately 50,000 riders use the system daily.
Problem:
The construction of the Phoenix Valley Metro Light Rail called for a variety of surface drainage solutions. Although Arizona is a desert state, when it rains it can be quite intensive, and the designers wanted to make sure the light rail infrastructure within the Phoenix city center was always completely clear of surface water.
