As a coastal community, Marshfield faces additional climate-related challenges such as rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and increased flooding. Adequate funding is crucial for asset management and Marshfield must balance limited budgets with the need to maintain and upgrade critical infrastructure.

The secure, streamlined stormwater database combined new and old data into a cost-effective and efficient web-based dashboard, supporting the DPW’s goal to provide essential public works infrastructure and support services for the residents of Marshfield.

The site drainage was modified to prevent any flooding within the flood barrier wall during storm surge events. The existing catch basin discharge in the north corner of the paved area was fitted with a 12-inch gate valve. The manual gate valve will isolate the catch basin and prevent flooding from outside of the flood barrier wall backing into the WSPS yard through the basin. While the existing catch basin is isolated from the drainage outside of the WSPS, storm water will be collected into the existing catch basin via the existing on-site storm water collection system and will be pumped out of the basin with a trailer mounted dry-prime trash pump (supplied under this project).

The perimeter wall was designed as a reinforced concrete foundation and wall with New England stone veneer facing along the building. As part of the aesthetic design, the permanent flood barrier wall structure included a granite stone cap.

To improve existing data and provide new data, EP used global positioning system (GPS) technology to locate above ground assets and used record drawings to assist with location of buried assets. EP linked information such as previous service records, photos, and record information to allow DPW personnel to select a parcel and view older water records and service history of their assets. The secure, streamlined Water Division database combined new and old data into a cost-effective and efficient web-based dashboard, supporting the Wrentham DPW’s goal to provide exceptional municipal services through innovation and teamwork.
