During an expansion project, Sysco Food Systems needed to increase the size of its stormwater storage. A CMP system was selected because it offered a greater void ratio, reducing the overall footprint and lowering the materials cost, while also providing a more efficient installation, avoiding utilities and accommodating low inlet elevations.
During a recent renovation project at the Arizona Cardinals football stadium, a CON/SPAN® B-Series Bridge System was installed, providing pedestrians safe passage from the new parking lot, under the busy Bethany Home Road and to the stadium.
In an effort to mitigate future flooding, the El Paso Water Utility installed DuroMaxx® steel reinforced polyethylene (SRPE) as the best solution to convey stormwater into a new drainage pond.
Problematic grade changes at the site of a new luxury apartment development required the use of Keystone’s structural segmental retaining wall system, Compac®—Regency.
There are so many things that have a basic togetherness. When you name one, the other pops into your mind. For example, cookies and milk, peanut butter and jelly, Tom and Jerry; you get the idea. In civil engineering, this is true too: slopes and erosion control, concrete and rebar, stormwater and storm sewer. It also should be known that when you think Contech Storm Sewer, you should immediately think: access manholes, detention connections, inlets, and Slotted Drain. All of these elements go together better than cookies and milk!
Selecting the Right Mulch for your Biofiltration Practice
As a biofiltration surface layer, mulch can support water retention, weed suppression, organic replenishment, pollutant treatment, aesthetics, media protection from scour, and moderate media temperature. Landscape mulches can include organic mulches like fresh wood chips or aged composted mulch, as well as inorganic mulches such as rock and rubber mulch. Factors driving selection of mulch type for surface application can include landscape design, climate, planting material, availability and budget.
