BridgeCor Replaces Deteriorating Structures at Park
When two aging pedestrian bridges at Centennial Lakes Park became too expensive to maintain, the City of Edina elected to replace them with two BridgeCor® Structural Plates from Contech Engineered Solutions. The new structures were designed to preserve the eye-catching attributes of the old bridges, but with wider deck surfaces, decorative lighting, and more.
In order to address an emergency storm sewer repair, Smooth Cor™ double-wall pipe was selected as the best solution for its ability to meet the project's requirements.
Have you ever heard of Theodore Cooper? Well, if you work in the railroad industry, you might say, “Yes, I have.” If you are a civil design engineer and member of the “Order of the Engineer” and wear a stainless-steel ring on the little finger of the working hand, you might say, “No, I have not.” However, the vast majority of Civil Engineers have heard of E80 Cooper loading.
As cities grow and expand, we hear the word redevelopment tossed around more frequently. But what is redevelopment? In its most simplistic definition, redevelopment is the action or process of developing something again or differently. How that applies to the civil site world is any new construction on a site that has pre-existing uses.
Please join Contech Engineered Solutions as we discuss design solutions & methods for the structural rehabilitation of storm drains, sanitary sewers, culverts, and bridge structures. Typically, when drainage infrastructure reaches the end of a useful service life, the decision to excavate and replace is commonplace. But replacing these structures can be costly and disruptive. Rehabilitation or relining of culverts, storm sewers and small bridges can be a faster and less expensive option that imparts little to no impact on traffic maintenance.
