Mud Creek Tributary - Pawnee County, Oklahoma
 
BridgeCor Replaces Deteriorating Structure
 

When Pawnee County widened County Road S 3460, the channel was cleared to allow for a new structure. Built in 1932, the original pony truss was declared structurally obsolete and was replaced with a BridgeCor® Structural Plate 2-Radius Arch for its large opening, cost savings, and minimal impact to the stream.

You Have Options When Designing Large Storm Sewer Systems
 
  You Have Options When Designing Large Storm Sewer Systems
   
 

When it comes to designing large storm sewer conveyance systems, did you know there are alternatives to reinforced box culverts? Traditionally, you may be used to defaulting to concrete when looking at larger systems, but have you ever heard of Smooth Cor™? Smooth Cor double wall is a hydraulically efficient corrugated metal pipe product that combines the strength of a corrugated outer shell, a smooth steel liner, and the durability of a polymer coating! By combining both strength and durability, Smooth Cor represents a cost-effective and installation friendly alternative to concrete box culverts ranging in size from 3’ x 3’ to 7’ x 7’ or more.

Examining Stone Void Storage
 
  Examining Stone Void Storage: Is 40% a Reliable Number?
   
 

Stormwater detention systems often include a large portion of the storage volume within the voids of the backfill material. Depending on the underground structure design and size, allocated stone storage can vary between 25-60% of the overall storage for the project. The generally accepted number has been 40% stone void storage. However, there have been few national studies to prove the 40% storage amount is reliable. Engineers need to ask if this number is indeed accurate, and if not, what is the implication on designs?
