Continental Replaces Original Structure After Flooding
After the original structure was washed out by flooding, a replacement structure was needed to close the gap along the 165 mile long D&L Trail. A Gateway®-style Continental® Pedestrian Truss was selected as the best solution to complete the trail system and provide pedestrians with safe passage over the river. With flooding common in the area, the new structure was situated approximately 17 feet above the average river level.
Following a long-term study to determine the best way to keep southwest Sioux Falls dry, a MOBILE PIPE® mill was selected to manufacture ALT2 perforated CMP on-site to construct the largest stormwater detention system in the city. The land above the system was reconstructed as a park.
In a collaborative effort to improve the local sewer services, A-2000™ PVC was selected as the best solution to to bring improved gravity sewer service to Palmview for its long service life, in-ground durability and cost savings.
