The beautiful and artistic Lake Lenexa Dam’s spillway which my damsel and I accessed in 231 acre Black Hoof Park in Lenexa Kansas while we were there in the late spring this year supporting a go-live at the regional laboratory. Quiet park either the 35 acre Lake Lenexa at its center that several of our team accessed during multiple work journeys to Kansas. The spillway utilized Reinforced Earth® MSE walls and was completed inn 2006. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #iphone13pro @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales @apple @visitlenexa @visitkansas @kehcamera @mpbcom

I found this perfectly quaint railroad station at what is considered old town Lenexa one morning exploring before going into the lab. Clearly labeled Lenexa in multiple locations, but I was told by an employee of BNSF Railway that it a BNSF terminal not opened to public. Weird, my curiosity was intrigued. Turns out that there is a reason. Around 1867 in the relative nubile state of Kansas ( became a state in January of 1861 ) a gentleman by the name of Charles A. Bradshaw purchased 160 acres from the local Shawnee natives. He was visionary, seeing the burgeoning steam railroad industry was key to moving products around. He sold the railroad right of way through his property for a $1 to the Missouri, Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad with one unique stipulation. The railroad company and any future rail companies as even the 1800’s there was much consolidation were obligated to build & maintain a railroad depot realizing that rails were critical to Lenexa’s future. The last stipulation is the reason the depot is there today. If the railroad failed to have a depot at Lenexa, ownership of the property would revert back to the Bradshaw family. So BNSF honors this contract even until today. #developportdev @gothamtomato @developphotonewsletter @omsystem.cameras #excellent_america #omsystem @bheventspace @bhphoto @adorama @tamracphoto @tiffencompany #usaprimeshot #tamractales #omd #micro43 #micro43photography #microfourthirds @kehcamera @mpbcom @visitkansas @visitlenexa

The City of Lenexa in the US state of Kansas has taken a new approach to stormwater management issues in partnership with the local community. Rather than defining stormwater as a problem to solve it now looks upon it as an asset upon which to capitalise. The result has led to an innovatively designed dam and spillway with impressive architectural features.
Lake Lenexa dam was completed in 2007 and its design and associated improvements not only provide for flood control and water quality issues, but have also made a valuable addition to the city’s park system.
Following major storms and flooding in 1998, the City of Lenexa embarked on a new stormwater management programme called ‘Rain to Recreation’. The programme was an opportunity to take a fresh look at the issue from a more environmentally focused perspective. The objectives of the programme include capturing stormwater in the upstream wetlands and removing sediment to improve water quality. In addition, the programme also focuses on the protection and restoration of the natural environment, and providing recreational and educational opportunities for the community. Hence the idea of turning rain into recreation was born.
Standing at 15m high and 244m long, Lake Lenexa dam is located just upstream of a housing development in a part a the city, with a total population of 45,000 residents. The structure is the largest and most visible component of the Rain to Recreation programme which meant that community involvement was a critical component from the outset.
‘The community was very involved in the overall decisions about what the dam was going to look like,’ says Scott R Brand, geotechnical engineer from Black and Veatch who oversaw the design and construction of the dam and spillway. ‘An extensive community outreach programme was held with the community to get a consensus on the design aspects of the project.’
Due to the high visibility of the scheme, aesthetics played an important role in the design of the dam, bridge and spillway sections. Architectural plans were all coordinated to maximise benefit to the community.
The unique layout and principle features of the dam and spillway structure symbolise the cycle of water as it moves from nature into the urban environment and then back to nature. Elements in the design include a curved dam alignment and an ogee spillway. Unusual architectural spillway features include curvilinear spillway walls, a spout structure, landscaping plans, recreational trails and a stilling basin design.
The spillway bridge is one of the most interesting architectural elements of the project. It consists of a curved concrete section spanning the spillway just downstream of the ogee spillway and upper basin areas. The bridge has a separate viewing canopy on a cantilevered section supported by drilled piers socketed into the underlying bedrock. The idea is for this to be a focal point of the project where visitors can view the cascading pools and fountains from the pedestrian bridge which spans the spillway.
Park and educational facilities surround the dam and reservoir. Stream restoration projects and shoreline improvements have also been made. The effects to downstream habitats were minimised by providing stream flow augmentation.
