Contech's Design Your Own Big R Modular Bridge Tool provides engineers unparalleled flexibility in the layout and configuration of standard, modular versions of our popular Big R Steel Rolled Girder Bridges. Our latest release includes options previously unavailable in a free, web-based design tool.
When a stream crossing was needed at Southpointe Crossings, a CON/SPAN® B-Series Bridge System was the best solution for its ability to adhere to the contractor's aggressive schedule.
During the redevelopment of South Alex, a new mixed-use property, a Terre Arch™ system was selected as the best underground stormwater management solution. Its shallow profile and flexibility provided the required volume.
As part of a project to improve safety and traffic flow on State Route 60, a heavily traveled corridor in Southern California, a surface runoff system consisting of Slotted Drain™ was installed to more efficiently handle rain events.
Last month, I was excited to present in a national webinar focusing on efficient design of storm sewer systems. As part of the content, I shared a pipe technology that can be used as underground storage tanks for contaminated runoff and sanitary sewer. This information sparked several questions in the post webinar survey pertaining to flotation and buoyancy control. It occurred to me that in the world of underground tankage applications, the idea of a specified tank coming out of the ground can be as scary to the designer as a zombie rising from the grave. That said, I would like to share a few tank solutions that I hope you will find beneficial for staying grounded.
Designing Manufactured Treatment Devices with Maintenance in Mind Part 2: Access, Location and Onsite Logistics
In the part one of this blog series, we looked at Factors That Drive Manufactured Treatment Devices (MTDs) Maintenance Costs. These include time and equipment, disposal costs, and consumables. Next, in part two, we explore the three factors that are most important to consider when designing MTDs with maintenance in mind include access, location and onsite logistics.
