The Story: Safeguarding a Major Environmental Initiative
The RiverRenew Tunnel Project is a critical effort to eliminate sewage overflows and restore the health of Alexandria’s waterways. Designed to capture and treat stormwater and wastewater, the project plays a vital role in protecting the Hooffs Run, Hunting Creek, and the Potomac River ecosystems. During a major rehabilitation and renovation phase, flood protection became a priority to ensure uninterrupted progress and prevent water intrusion from impacting construction and new infrastructure.
Recognizing the need for effective water diversion, RiverRenew partnered with AquaFence to deploy a tailored flood defense solution.
