A truss bridge with an innovative, transparent bridge deck restored connectivity while providing visibility for future deck inspections.
At Colorado State University's Mountain Campus in Bellvue, Colorado, a replacement entrance bridge was needed on Pingree Park Road. A Big R Bridge® Rolled Girder paired with ClearCast™ Transparent Bridge Deck Forms provided a sustainable structure with more accurate deck inspections in the future.
During a residential development project in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, Trieste installed a stormwater system that utilized Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) as a managed release concept basin. This system releases runoff into Jellyfish Filters to reduce pollutants and provide pollutant-reduction credits.
The City of Red Lodge, Montana replaced undersized stormwater infrastructure at Haggin Avenue and 19th Street with a combination of A-2000™ PVC storm drain and a DuroMaxx® SRPE storm sewer system. The economical upgrade will also improve maintenance issues at the local wastewater treatment plant.
Before I started my career at Contech, I used to joke that I was the tour manager for Guns N’ Roses. In this completely fictional version of events, however, I actually was! Up until 2011, I was booking global tours for the band in places like Budapest, Warsaw, London… The night they were scheduled to play Cincinnati as part of their North American leg of the tour, I get this phone call from Axl Rose. He says to me: “The band’s done.” I said: “What are you talking about, Axl?” “I don’t know, man. Slash put down his guitar and says he wants to become a civil engineer or something.”
High Groundwater Considerations for Detention and Infiltration Systems
High groundwater can significantly influence the design of underground detention and infiltration systems. It can limit available storage depth, affect infiltration feasibility, create buoyancy concerns, and complicate installation. Identifying groundwater conditions early in the design process can help engineers avoid costly redesigns and determine whether detention, infiltration, or a combination of the two is appropriate for the site.
From Pollutants to Practices: Designing Effective Stormwater Treatment Trains
Impervious surfaces disrupt the natural water cycle by inhibiting the infiltration and retention of precipitation. In developed areas, excess runoff flowing from surfaces such as parking lots, roads and buildings can carry accumulated pollutants to receiving waters, which makes them a primary contributor to post-construction pollution in stormwater runoff.
Participants Earn One Professional Development Hour.
This session walks through key design considerations recommended by ASTM, AASHTO, ASCE, and industry associations – covering hydraulics, structural capacity, service life, and joint integrity – while exploring practical strategies to reduce material and installation costs and stretch limited infrastructure budgets.
