The project involves 495 linear feet of underground pipe between Western and Carleton avenues. The route follows an easement that runs through eight residential lots, or parcels, along with a short span of alleyway between the two blocks.<\/p>\n

There are three access points, one on Western Avenue, another on Carleton Avenue, and the third in the alleyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a rehabilitation from inside the pipe. We are not going to open any streets or alleyway. \u2026 However, the contractor needs access to get inside the pipe,\u201d Poudyal explained.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Residents may hear some related construction noises along with sounds of vehicles and equipment moving behind their homes. Some lane closures will involve Western and El Campo avenues, and then briefly Carleton Avenue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The polymer being used is GeoKrete.<\/p>\n \u201cGeoKrete geopolymer is formulated to provide corrosion resistant protection in a high hydrogen sulfide environment, restore structural integrity and eliminate the infiltration of groundwater in deteriorated structures,\u201d according to a fact sheet<\/a> on the Vortex website.\u00a0<\/p>\n It is recommended for use in large-diameter pipes consisting of stone, masonry, metal or concrete, including those used for wastewater and storm water.\u00a0<\/p>\n The project will be funded through the city\u2019s PayGo<\/a>, which pays cash for some of Fort Worth\u2019s improvement projects instead of taking on debt for the work.<\/p>\n The storm drain project is expected to be completed by June.<\/p>\n Patrick Banis is a member of the Fort Worth Report Documenters<\/a> crew.<\/p>\n If you believe anything in this account is inaccurate, please email us at news@fortworthreport.org with \u201cCorrection Request\u201d in the subject line.<\/p>\n This <a target=”_blank” href=”https:\/\/fortworthreport.org\/2026\/02\/28\/storm-drain-project-coming-to-central-arlington-heights-mid-march\/”>article<\/a> first appeared on <a target=”_blank” href=”https:\/\/fortworthreport.org”>Fort Worth Report<\/a> and is republished here under a <a target=”_blank” href=”https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nd\/4.0\/”>Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License<\/a>.<img src=”https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fortworthreport.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cropped-favicon.png?resize=150%2C150&quality=80&ssl=1″ style=”width:1em;height:1em;margin-left:10px;”><\/p>\n <img id=”republication-tracker-tool-source” src=”https:\/\/fortworthreport.org\/?republication-pixel=true&post=427739&ga4=2820184429″ style=”width:1px;height:1px;”><script> PARSELY = { autotrack: false, onload: function() { PARSELY.beacon.trackPageView({ url: “https:\/\/fortworthreport.org\/2026\/02\/28\/storm-drain-project-coming-to-central-arlington-heights-mid-march\/”, urlref: window.location.href }); } } <\/script> <script id=”parsely-cfg” src=”\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/fortworthreport.org\/p.js”><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"by Documenters, Fort Worth Report February 28, 2026 The city of Fort Worth hosted a virtual meeting on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":184718,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[11745,8219,116,118,117],"class_list":["post-184717","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-fort-worth","tag-arlington-heights","tag-documenters","tag-fort-worth","tag-fort-worth-headlines","tag-fort-worth-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184717","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184717"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184717\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/184718"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184717"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184717"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184717"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
