Chelsea Everett Island End River Flood Resilience

Chelsea & Everett, MA

Island End River Flood Resilience Project consists of the construction of a coastal storm surge barrier (flood barrier), storm surge control facility, riverfront nature-based solutions, and related amenities at the Island End River in the Cities of Chelsea and Everett to protect the surrounding area from flooding.

The completed project includes 4,650 linear feet of protective flood barrier system, a 2,900 SF underground surge control structure, 20,000 SF of nature-based solutions along the riverfront, 22,000 SF of wetland enhancements, and related public amenities.

Ellana prepared cost estimates for the proposed work on a three-acre site which involved developing flood resilience measures to existing river outlet bordering city land, roads, residences, and commercial buildings.
