Vortechs Treats Stormwater for Mega Tunnel Project
The East Side Access megaproject is one of the largest transportation infrastructure projects currently underway in the United States and when completed, will provide new Long Island Rail service to the east side of Manhattan. As part of the $11.1 billion project which includes 8 miles of tunneling, two Vortechs systems were installed to treat 15.42 acres of impervious area in a section of the project.
When a longer runway was needed during an expansion project at the airport, it was decided that a BEBO® Bridge Concrete Arch System was the best solution to extend the airfield above the structure while maintaining access for the existing county highway below.
After catastrophic flooding earlier in the year that caused the lake to overflow and wash away part of the nearby roadway, a DuroMaxx® steel reinforced polyethylene (SRPE) culvert was installed to allow the nearby homeowners access to the area.
A-2000™ PVC is Hydraulically Superior to RCP, and You Can Get It Today!
A-2000™ PVC has been on the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Optional Material for 100-year design life since 2003 and has been used for years in Florida and across the country as a direct equivalent to reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) in most storm sewer applications. A-2000™ PVC has become a preferred product over RCP for its longer lengths, hydraulic capacity, lighter weight and superior joint. It is used in a wide variety of markets including DOT, County/Municipal, Ports, Airports, and Residential. A-2000™ PVC is currently manufactured in Montgomery, Alabama and Springfield, Illinois and stocked across the United States.
Top Three Pipe Coatings/Materials Used in Underground Detention Systems
Corrugated metal pipe (CMP) is the “go-to” material for most stormwater detention and infiltration projects. A wide range of gages, corrugations, and diameters provides engineers flexibility in design not available with other materials. In addition, the industry has developed several pipe coatings and materials to accommodate site-specific durability needs and extend serviced life. It is helpful to the engineer to know what coating and material options are available when designing a CMP detention system for a specific site.
Join Contech’s reline experts as they explore design considerations to determine if reline is an ideal approach. Every reline project needs to be examined closely. Relining a drainage structure is complicated and requires a site-specific analysis process.
Contech will explore ever increasing coastal and inland high water levels and discuss proven, reliable solutions which have resulted in faster recovery with minimal consequences.
