Continental Bridges Safely Carry Pedestrians over Congested Intersection
In order to maintain regular traffic signal operation and improve the flow of vehicular traffic, and most importantly, the safety of pedestrians and cyclists at a congested intersection in Lone Tree, Colorado, a grade separation was necessary. The installation of two Keystone®-style Continental®Pedestrian Trusspedestrian crossing bridges allowed trail users to traverse the 36-mile long trail without interruption while providing a smooth transition over the busy roads below.
Due to advanced deterioration of the existing culvert on Kern Road and excessive flooding, it was replaced with an Aluminum Box Culvert because the cost of the open-bottom structure was within budget and the timeframe met both the construction and delivery schedule.
The existing Ebey Waterfront Park expanded into adjacent vacant properties to establish a regional stormwater treatment facility, addressing the needs of a 480-acre area encompassing the historic downtown. The system includes a Filterra Bioscape system, renowned for its unparalleled efficiency and minimal spatial footprint.
When juice manufacturer American Fruit Processors constructed a new production plant, a DuroMaxx® steel reinforced polyethylene tank was utilized as an emergency overflow storage tank to address any glycol runoff.
Overcoming Challenges in Storm Sewer Design with Advanced Technologies
Storm sewer systems are the unsung heroes of urban infrastructure, crucial for managing rainwater and stormwater to prevent flooding and protect our communities. However, traditional storm sewer systems often face significant challenges, such as inefficient water flow, structural failures, and costly maintenance. Fortunately, recent advancements in storm sewer technology are providing innovative solutions to these persistent problems, offering enhanced performance, cost savings, and easier installation.
