CONTECH \| ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS       December 2023         Sheridan Boulevard Underpass Westminster, Colorado   CON/SPAN Provides Safe Passage for Pedestrians   During an improvement project at US 36 Bikeway in Westminster, Colorado, an underpass was needed to provide safe passage for pedestrians under the busy Sheridan Boulevard. After considering options, a CON/SPAN® B-Series® Bridge System was selected as the best solution because it met the clearance box requirements, provided a quick installation and was able to be constructed in phases.       Read More         Stormwatch   Hazel Dell Water Quality Retrofit Vancouver, Washington   StormFilter Systems Improve Water Quality   In order to improve water quality in Cougar Creek, Clark County Public Works enhanced the stormwater system along Hazel Dell Avenue by installing two StormFilter® systems.   Read More         Conveyance   Wheeling & Lake Erie Railway Rehabilitation Medina, Ohio   DuroMaxx Rehabilitates Existing Deteriorating Trestle   When an existing wrought iron trestle along the railway was deemed structurally deficient, the best solution to avoid disrupting rail service was to replace it with a DuroMaxx® Steel Reinforced Polyethylene (SRPE) liner pipe.   Read More           Pipe Solutions Blog       Manhole Alternatives for Large Diameter Sewers       The world of sanitary and storm sewers has seen a growing need for larger diameters to carry water. As pipe sizes increase, designing manway access becomes more challenging as larger pipes necessitate larger manholes or concrete boxes. It's not uncommon to resort to cast-in-place structures as the primary solution, which can be both time-consuming and expensive. However, with ongoing technological advancements and the increased use of thermoplastic pipe materials, alternative manhole solutions have been steadily gaining popularity. Many designers and regulators are recognizing the benefits of exploring alternatives to the traditional standard concrete manhole or box structures.     Read More           Stormwater Blog       Techniques for Maximizing Runoff Reduction with Biofiltration       The terms “high-rate biofiltration” and “runoff reduction” aren’t often used in the same sentence. The engineering community has a preconceived notion that a high-rate biofilter with an underdrain (like Filterra®) can’t provide runoff reduction benefits because the stormwater it treats moves through the practice too quickly. However, with the proper design considerations, we can maximize the capability of a high-rate biofilter to provide appreciable runoff reduction.              Read More         Newsworthy - Earn A PDH Credit   Siting Considerations for Prefabricated Buried Open-Bottom Precast Concrete Bridge Structures     Open-bottom buried bridges are structures built with side walls and a top that’s either flat or in an arc formation. With either configuration, the bottom is not constructed as part of the bridge structure, which provides a foundation design that’s separate from the bridge’s structural design. The structure sides support the surrounding soil, while the open bottom has the flexibility for a variety of site adaptations.   Earn A PDH Credit                 © 2023 Contech Engineered Solutions LLC Contech Engineered Solutions \| 9100 Centre Pointe Dr   \| West Chester, OH, 45069    You received this email because you are subscribed to Contech Newsletter from Contech Engineered Solutions.
