Urban + Farm Stormwater Detention System
 
 
Solving Stormwater Detention on a
Space-Constrained Urban Site
 
A multi-stage CMP detention system was engineered for a 106-acre mixed-use development.
 
Urban + Farm in Bozeman, Montana installed Aluminized Steel Type 2 pipe with Xfiltration Joints at four strategic locations. The high-performance stormwater management system met local infiltration requirements and addressed the site’s geotechnical variability.

Kittitas Reclamation District
Transforming an Open Canal into a Safer, Water-Conserving System
 
Watertight, large-diameter SRPE pipe was selected for the gravity flow channel.
 
To improve water conservation and public safety, Kittitas Reclamation District enclosed the South Branch Canal in Ellensburg, Washington with DuroMaxx® SRPE pipe. The watertight, large-diameter gravity-flow system reduces water loss and helps prevent accidental drownings with a durable, long-term solution.

Managing Hydroplaning Risks on Airport Runways and Taxiways
 
  Managing Hydroplaning Risks on Airport Runways and Taxiways
     
 

Hydroplaning occurs when the tires of a vehicle or aircraft lose contact with the pavement surface due to the presence of water. As aircraft speed and water depth increase, water pressure builds beneath the tire, creating uplift forces that reduce friction between the tire and runway surface. When this happens, the aircraft can lose traction and directional control, resulting in hydroplaning conditions.

Stormwater BMPs
 
  Beyond Sizing: Designing Stormwater BMPs for Inspection, Access and Maintenance
     
  Stormwater BMP design usually starts with two basic questions: can the BMP treat the required flow or volume, and can it physically fit on the site? Those questions are important, but they are not enough as a BMP is not fully designed until someone can inspect it, clean it, and understand who is responsible for maintaining it. Maintenance should not be treated as a post-construction problem. It is a design decision.

The Price of Resilience: Investing in a Climate-Ready Future
 
 
The upfront cost of resilient infrastructure can be significant, but what do we stand to lose from long-term neglect? Ahead of his American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 2027 keynote address, senior staff writer at Grist and author of The Great Displacement, Jake Bittle joined a special edition of ASCE Interchange Live to discuss how the climate crisis heightens the need to invest in both clean energy and resilient infrastructure.
