IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Levi Clagett, EI, led the storm sewer design to reconstruct Sim's Street in Dickinson, ND. As the lead designer, he analyzed rainfall runoff to size the storm sewer network to convey those flows correctly. Projects like these are challenging because they require designing in between or around existing underground utilities while meeting design criteria. https://lnkd.in/gPvVkd7e #stormwatersolutions #WaterEngineering #InfrastructureUpgrade

32nd Avenue South Improvement Project The purpose of this project is to improve quality and safety for both pedestrians and drivers for years to come. We will be updating the existing roadway, pedestrian and utility infrastructure. The more notable changes we will be making with this project include: • New 5-lane concrete #roadway section to replace the existing roadway, which has reached the end of its useful lifespan and is becoming maintenance intensive • Downsizing the existing grass and paved medians to help create additional boulevard space for sidewalks and trees • Upsized storm sewer drainage system to help handle flooding concerns along the #corridor • Water main improvements • Replacing or rehabilitating the sanitary sewer pipe to extend its usable lifespan www.classengraphics.com #3dvisualization #transportationplanning #civilengineering #completestreets #roads

Cutting a new sewer pipe into the backyard of our Buckhead project. It's not much to look at, but it sure is an important step. #homeremodel #contractorlife #atlantaremodel #designbuild #homeaddition #atlantahomes #moderncraftsman #buildingscience

We have three options for designing roads that cross floodways: by #bridge, #culverts or floodway crossings. Floodway crossings consist of a length of pavement on a level grade, designed to be overtopped by frequent rainfall events (or high annual exceedance probability (AEP) events for those in the know 😉). The following elements are considered when we design a floodway crossing: 🚰 Hydraulic design (discharge capacity & velocity) 🚙 Pavement design 🪨 Upstream & downstream embankment protection 🚸 Road signage Another design consideration is learning from floodway failures. Our Director, James Gleeson has first hand experience from the flood damage caused to the John Muntz Causeway following an extreme rainfall event in 2017... "The original rock protection at the abutments and approach embankments had been completely washed away, severely damaging the road embankment and relieving slab. The embankment protection was replaced with rock armour, a solution more suited to wharf structures, in an effort to combat the frequent, high intensity storm events". As the affects of #climatechange increase frequency and intensity of rainfall events, we see floodway crossings playing a vital role in our road network, especially post disaster recovery, as a value for money solution.

After a storm, some parts of a facility may be beyond repair and must be removed to ensure safety and facilitate reconstruction. GROUP Contractors specializes in selective demolition, using advanced techniques to safely remove damaged sections while preserving the integrity of the remaining structure. #StormRecovery #StormRecoveryServices #GROUPContractors

How do you design over 200 storm damage repairs at once? The answer is that you don’t. Working with the KiwiRail engineering team we developed typical solutions and standard details for the North Auckland Line. These cover more minor overslips, underslips, formation and drainage work. This approach reduced the number of bespoke designs that we needed to develop to 36, for the more major damage sites. The image below is site having the typical solution for drainage and formation damage applied. The crew are building a new swale uphill of the track to channel runoff towards the culvert. #NAL #CivilEngineering #Construction #GeotechnicalEngineering #Rail #StormWaterManagement
