Baltimore Processing Center Container Storage Yard Success Story

Writer: HTI ContractorsHTI Contractors

This project, located in Baltimore, Maryland, was commissioned by BFI Transfer Systems of MD LLC. It involved a diverse range of construction and environmental management tasks that laid the foundation for a successful processing hub. Let us take a closer look at the key components of the Baltimore Processing Center Container Storage Yard project.


Project Scope Overview


Sediment Control & Erosion Management


Effective sediment control and erosion management were vital to this project. HTI Contractors implemented strategies such as sediment basins to prevent soil displacement and safeguard local water sources from contamination.


Site Excavation & Grading


The journey toward a functional storage yard began with careful site excavation and grading. Proper land preparation ensured that the ground was leveled, allowing for optimal functionality in future operations. This critical step set the stage for successful completion of all subsequent project phases.


Stormwater Management


Managing stormwater effectively is crucial in any construction project. HTI Contractors put in place advanced drainage solutions designed to control flooding and prevent water accumulation.


Paving & Concrete Work


In this project, durability was paramount. The team conducted extensive paving and concrete work.

Retaining Wall Installation


The structural integrity of the storage yard hinges on strong retaining walls. HTI Contractors installed robust structures that added both stability and safety to the facility. These walls were engineered to withstand lateral earth pressures, ensuring the long-term operational effectiveness of the storage yard.


Trench Drain System


A significant feature of this project was the introduction of a trench drain system. By enhancing water flow management, the trench drains facilitated improved site drainage. This innovation helped reduce flooding risk by effectively channeling water away from critical areas, thus boosting overall operational efficiency during adverse weather conditions.


Landscaping Enhancements


To complete the construction efforts, HTI Contractors executed landscaping enhancements that greatly improved the site’s visual appeal.
