During an inspection of the culvert running beneath Sunshine Road, engineers deemed it severely eroded and in need of replacement or repair. After reviewing the options, it was decided that a reline with ULTRA FLO® spiral rib corrugated steel pipe would be the best solution.
As part of the recent I-11 expansion, a solution was needed to keep wildlife off the highway. A twin BEBO® Bridge Concrete Arch System was selected for its ability to provide safe passage for motorists below and wildlife over the new stretch of highway.
During construction of a new Starbucks location, perforated Aluminized Steel Type 2 was utilized as the stormwater detention solution for its ability to minimize the cover and quantity of stone backfill.
After having successfully completed a new professional development hour (PDH) article for Informed Infrastructure on the topic of buried culverts and service life, I was struck by the complexity of what may seem, at first blush, to be a relatively straightforward project. Specifically – the importance of the backfill material selection process.
Common infiltration practices include drywells, bioretention, permeable pavement, infiltration trenches, infiltration basins, and subsurface infiltration galleries. Regardless of their form, all infiltration systems have three primary components: storage, treatment, and infiltration.
In this episode of the ASCE Interchange, Jeremy Chrzan, P.E, PTOE, LEED AP, the multimodal design practice lead for Toole Design, discusses how civil engineers are redefining city streets to improve accessibility and create healthier, more resilient communities.
