When an existing bridge on Sam Brown Hill Road in the small town of Brownfield, Maine was deemed structurally deficient by Maine Department of Transportation, it was replaced with a Big R® Steel Rolled Girder. Big R was the best replacement option for its ability to meet both time and budget constraints.
While opening a new limestone mine, more material was taken inadvertently from one side than the other leaving a large spalled area above the entrance. Twin CON/SPAN® B-Series Bridge Systems were selected as the best solution to support the mine entrances.
During the development of a 48,000 square foot grocery store, corrugated metal pipe and ULTRA FLO® Conveyance Pipe were utilized to create the best underground detention solution.
After the City of Sedona determined that an upgrade was needed for an existing storm drain infrastructure along Coffee Pot Road, an ULTRA FLO® storm drain system was incorporated as the best option.
As you make decisions as an engineering professional or owner, you are always reviewing a product’s ability to perform. How many of these abilities do you think about? Durability, reliability, adaptability, but what about sustainability?Sustainability has heightened attention from all aspects of the design process, and it is necessary to make good decisions today that will not compromise the ability of future generations.
Critical Elements for Implementing a Defensible BMP Maintenance Policy
Oil changes. Gutter cleaning. Annual doctor appointments. These are all forms of maintenance that most people would likely agree are necessary to keep our vehicles, homes and bodies in good working order. We may not like spending the time, money, and effort on these tasks, but we do them anyway. If you happen to own a stormwater best management practice (BMP), then you know all too well that periodic maintenance is necessary to keep the BMP operating correctly.
