During construction of a new HomeGoods distribution center in Lordstown, Ohio, a large-diameter storm sewer system was needed to handle the increase in surface runoff because of the additional impervious surface. Ultimately, an ULTRA FLO® storm sewer was selected for its easy installation and cost savings over HDPE or concrete alternatives.
When the existing deck beams and timber piles of a 90 year old bridge over Dry Run Creek in Bradley Park deteriorated beyond repair, it was replaced with a CON/SPAN® B-Series Bridge System and Vist-A-Wall MSE Wall System® for its cost savings, functionality and aesthetics.
When a new terminal to handle commercial service was constructed at Paine Field Airport, not all of the runoff could be treated by traditional methods due to space limitations. Filterra® Bioscape was the perfect solution to treat the additional runoff.
Increasing Airfield Design Efficiencies for Improved Performance
Contech is a manufacturer and a collaborative engineering partner for civil site development. I’d like to take some time now to discuss a few solutions that are especially ideal in airfield applications. In the American Society of Civil Engineers’ (ASCE) most recent infrastructure report card, the aviation sector was assigned a D+ grade. While this is concerning, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) offers opportunities and resources to address these, and Contech is dedicated to helping airports become as safe, efficient, and up to date as possible.
The Role of BMP Maintenance in Reducing Phosphorus in Stormwater
Stormwater quality regulations continue to expand to include treatment criteria for total phosphorus. Phosphorus is now the second-most-regulated pollutant in stormwater runoff after total suspended solids. While much has been written about BMPs used to remove total phosphorus, we shouldn’t underestimate the role BMP maintenance has on reducing phosphorus levels. More specifically, we should take into account the timing of maintenance events and the type of maintenance being performed.
Contech is pleased to announce that five of our projects received "2023 Project of the Year" awards from the National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association, NCSPA! These awards "showcase the very best projects that have been completed over the past year. Winners are announced in 13 different categories ranging from product application to steel coatings."
Integrating Unmanned Aerial Systems into the Built World
The development and use of unmanned or uncrewed aerial system technologies are shaping our built environment. In this ASCE Interchange, transportation engineer and a certified remote pilot Blaine Wruck discusses the integration of UAS into the built environment.
