Two days of severe thunderstorms and extremely high runoff caused a culvert under Alden Highway to fail. As a result, when a fire truck hit a pothole, it broke an axle, and the highway began to crack. The two firemen escaped with only minor injuries, and the road was closed until Antrim County's engineers decided the best replacement option was an Aluminum Structural Plate for its quick design and installation.
During a recent improvement project at Yowell Meadow Park, a low-water, concrete bridge that often flooded was replaced with a Connector®-style Continental® Pedestrian Truss bridge.
When RaceTrac Petroleum expanded a site on US Highway 27 to include a truck refueling facility, Aluminized Steel Type 2 pipe was utilized to manage 286,256 cf of stormwater runoff.
As part of three neighborhood sewer improvement projects, the Perkins Park parallel sewer added a 36-inch A-2000™ sewer system in parallel with an existing 15-inch sewer.
Things to Consider for Large Diameter Gravity Flow Thermoplastic Sewers | Part 2
I know you all have been waiting with baited breath to find out the in's and out's of the last two considerations when evaluating a large diameter flow thermoplastic sewer solution. To recap, typically, the larger diameters tend to have far less directional changes and lateral connections. Also, interceptors tend to have deeper heights-of-cover in gravity flow applications.
Protecting Phosphorus Limited Receiving Waters with Stormwater Control Measures
Bioretention has been the principal form of Low-Impact Development (LID) used to slow, treat, retain and infiltrate stormwater runoff, mimicking a site's natural, pre-development hydrology. One aspect of bioretention that has some scientists and regulators concerned is the phenomenon known as nutrient leaching. Nutrient leaching occurs when the bioretention media, which often contains compost, breaks down and releases phosphorus to downstream receiving waters.
