As part of an ongoing effort to bring Clear Creek back to a functional stream ecosystem after being damaged from farming and development, Silverdale’s first stormwater park manages runoff from over 115 acres. After stormwater is pretreated in a Vortechs hydrodynamic separator, it is then directed to four Filterra Bioscape cells.
When the planned community of Rouzan needed a bridge at the entrance to the development, a Big R Bridge® Rolled Girder was selected as the best option for its ability to provide aesthetic appeal and an optimized design.
After the original structure on Cheltenham Road was deteriorating and deemed insufficient, it was replaced with a CON/SPAN® B-Series Bridge System placed on precast EXPRESS® Foundations.
When a large storm sewer pipe was needed underneath an active Union Pacific Railroad track, the best solution was 2-Flange Tunnel Liner Plate paired with an ULTRA FLO® spiral rib pipe placed inside of the Tunnel Liner Plate to provide drainage for the area.
As part of the improvement project at the Corona Landfill, ArmorFlex® Mats were installed as the best solution to repair and improve landfill slope stability while also increasing hydraulic channel capacity.
Imagine this: You’re hosting a dinner party at your home, and suddenly you notice water in the hallway. Oh, crap! The toilet is overflowing. Now imagine this occurring on a much larger scale when the city’s sanitary sewer system overflows and starts bubbling out of manholes into your backyard. The EPA estimates there are at least 45,000 sanitary sewer overflows each year in the U.S. To clarify, this is a situation in which raw sewage is discharged from a sanitary system into the environment prior to reaching a treatment facility.
Whether you are involved with the design, installation or the manufacture of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs), the key ingredient to a successful project is communication. Poor communication, or worse, no communication, can be a project's downfall. The best way to ensure excellent project communication is to have a pre-construction meeting. But why have a preconstruction meeting for stormwater BMPs? They are not that complicated, right?
