Design Your Own Detention System Tool

Contech's Design Your Own Detention System Tool (DYODS^®) provides engineers unparalleled flexibility in the layout and configuration of underground CMP detention systems. Our latest release includes options previously unavailable in a free, web-based stormwater design tool. For more information, click here to watch the video.

Building Bridges

US 12 Wildcat Creek

Rimrock, Washington

Design-Build BEBO Replaces Deteriorating Structure

When a deteriorating structure on US Highway 12 needed to be replaced, a BEBO^® Bridge Concrete Arch System was selected as the best replacement option to meet all of Washington State Department of Transportation's requirements.

Frozen Creek

Myrtle Creek, Oregon

CON/SPAN O-Series Provides Emergency Replacement

After a storm event damaged the existing structure, it was replaced with a CON/SPAN^® O-Series^® Bridge System for its ability to meet fish passage requirements and cost savings.

Conveyance

Meridian Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility Expansion

Meridian, Idaho

DuroMaxx Offers Sanitary Sewer Option

In order to meet a growing population, Meridian Wastewater needed to expand their facility. As part of the expansion, a DuroMaxx^® SRPE was selected as the best pipe option to convey water from the new clarifiers to tertiary treatment.

	Surface Runoff for Airports & Ports

	I recently had the opportunity to host a national webinar on the topic of Ports & Airports and thought it would be a good idea to mention some of the items that were discussed on the Pipe Blog for those who may have missed it. Ports and Airports are like little cities with both little and big problems. These issues can vary quite vastly, but there are two major site constraints they both have in common : (1) heavy loads with large aircrafts and loaders rolling over the top and (2) large flat surfaces such as tarmacs or unloading areas or long narrow roadways such as runways or haul roads.

The Duck Test… When is a Biofilter not a Biofilter?

Many say that if it looks and quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck. When you visualize a biofilter, you might envision bioretention cells, rain gardens, constructed wetlands, bioswales, or vegetated filter strips. What is a visual commonality among these practices? Plants. Following the duck test, if it contains plants and engineered, organic media and functions like a biofilter, then it’s probably a biofilter.
