FlatironDragados Advances to Construction Virginia Beach Resiliency Project

FlatironDragados is moving into the construction phase of the $518 million Windsor Woods, Princess Anne Plaza and The Lakes Stormwater Improvements project, following successful completion of a two-year collaborative preconstruction phase with the City of Virginia Beach and design partner Arcadis. Implementation of the comprehensive flood protection infrastructure program developed by the City of Virginia Beach will protect city assets and meet the needs of the community for generations to come. Especially significant project elements include storm water storage and drainage improvements through the use of large pump stations, tide gates to minimize tidal impacts and maximize storage, and flood barriers along with upgrades to drainage channels. This project is consistent with FlatironDragados’ strategy to build resiliency infrastructure that protects communities, vital facilities and essential supply chains from increasing climate threats and natural disasters. The project adds to current FlatironDragados resiliency projects: The $102 million Storm Surge Upgrade project in Port Arthur, Texas. The $1.7 billion North/West Battery Park City Resiliency project in New York City. The $251 million Rebuild by Design Hudson River Resiliency project in New Jersey.
