The building is located at 3020 George II Highway in Boiling Spring Lakes, North Carolina. Samet Construction is the contractor. Demolition is finished and construction is underway.

Railroad Culvert Project
The City of Boiling Spring Lakes (CBSL) has experienced flooding at the intersection of Cardinal Road and Fifty Lakes Drive. Stormwater runoff was being conveyed to a 24" diameter pipe under the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point Railroad line at this location. The 24" diameter pipe was significantly undersized as evidence by the stormwater back up. CBSL is currently in the process of installing a 60" diameter Reinforced Concrete Pipe via dry bore and jack method under the railroad line adjacent to the existing 24” pipe. Along with the 60” pipe they will be constructing concrete endwalls and placing rip rap lining at the pipe ends. They will also be slip lining the existing 24” pipe to keep it in service along with the 60” pipe. As of this date the 60” pipe installation, construction of the endwalls and slip lining the existing 24” pipe is complete. It is anticipated that final stream grading and placement of the rip rap will be complete by 11/30/22, weather dependent. Along with the pipe work at the railroad crossing the CBSL has also installed a 24” diameter pipe and triple 36”diameter pipes under Cardinal Road and double 24” diameter pipes under Fifty Lakes Drive at this location to help with stormwater conveyance.
