Northwest Lubbock Drainage Improvements Phase 2
When heavy rains fell, Maxey Park rose with water—stranding hospital visitors, flooding homes, and choking roads. Parkhill’s Phase 2 of the Northwest Lubbock Drainage Improvements was designed to change that. Extending the work from Phase 1, this 10,700-foot storm drain project dives as deep as 47 feet, with four major tunnels threading through the city’s most sensitive zones—including beneath narrow streets, campus housing, and even the Marsha Sharp Freeway.
Beneath the Surface, Above the Storm
Parkhill’s design offered flexibility, allowing contractors to select optimal materials and methods, resulting in value-driven choices like fiberglass pipe and hand-mined tunnels. Safety remained a focus: construction through the Texas Tech Greek Circle area was carefully scheduled to protect students.
Tunnel Vision with Community Impact
Through tight coordination with stakeholders and the construction management team, Parkhill’s adaptive approach ensured no delays. The result? A resilient underground network that not only redirects stormwater—but restores peace of mind for residents, hospital staff, and travelers in northwest Lubbock.
