The Chatfield Reservoir Reallocation project was initiated in order to address the growing demand for water in Colorado's Front Range and on northeast Colorado farms. As part of the project, the roadways along the perimeter of the reservoir were redesigned, and a BridgeCor® Structural Plate bridge was installed as the best solution to traverse Deer Creek.
During a multi-phase project at Rivergate Corporate Center, Oregon’s primary gateway for international trade, two StormFilter Panel Vaults were installed to treat the stormwater runoff from 43.5 acres of new impervious surface.
In order to increase the efficiency of the canals that deliver clean, usable water to local farming communities, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District enclosed them by installing polymer-coated HEL-COR® corrugated metal pipe.
The design, manufacture and installation of Concrete, Corrugated Steel, Plastic and Steel Reinforced Polyethylene pipe happens every day for storm sewers and culverts. While most design engineers spent many hours in college learning about hydrology and hydraulics, how many spent time studying the buoyancy of pipe materials in the field?
Stormwater BMP Maintenance – The Disposal Question
Installing a Stormwater BMP is an important step towards protecting our waterways, but for them to perform as designed, they must be maintained regularly, which includes removing the waste. But, after maintenance, where do we dispose of the material removed from catch basins and stormwater treatment systems?
