While making improvements to Interstate 65, the Alabama Department of Transportation widened 3.5 miles of the roadway, increasing it from four lanes into six, and required a surface runoff solution. Slotted Drain™ was selected as the best product for its ability to remove sheet flow conditions efficiently along the median barrier wall.
When a fish friendly replacement structure was needed on Hoko-Ozette Road over Johnson Creek, a BridgeCor® Structural Plate was the best solution for its cost savings and quick installation.
When an addition was constructed at the iTech Preparatory School, a detention system consisting of Corrugated Metal Pipe and ChamberMaxx® was utilized for its cost savings.
During a waterfront revitalization project, ArmorFlex® Class 70 Articulated Concrete Block system was selected as the best solution to protect the shoreline from erosion.
While many people can easily picture a length of pipe under a driveway when asked if they have seen corrugated metal pipe (CMP), most people are unaware of the versatility of the product. CMP has been produced since the early 1900's, and it has evolved to fill the need for many requirements. Here are some benefits which might be applicable to your project...
Maintenance Considerations for Media Based Stormwater Filtration Systems
Many manufactured stormwater filtration systems use media-filled cartridges. During a storm, runoff passes through the filtration media, which absorbs and retains pollutants from stormwater runoff, including total suspended solids, hydrocarbons, nutrients, metals and other common pollutants. The structures that house the filter cartridges can be constructed in various ways to accommodate a wide range of flows, project footprints and variable hydraulic conditions. Standard configurations include catch basin, manhole, vault, curb inlet and systems with internal peak flow conveyance.
Safety is a civil engineer’s top priority. In this episode of ASCE Interchange, John Gambatese, civil and construction engineering professor at Oregon State University, and co-chair of ASCE’s Construction Safety Committee, discusses how to optimize safety and improve the overall success of your projects.
