    Wind uplift for a Polyethylene Line Sludge Lagoon

    Could you use vents instead... They may be more cost effective. I am working on a lagoon project as well. Did you end up using concrete/soil filled pipes as ballast in your design? Standard details for vents can be found at the below link...

    developing in a floodplain

    The fill will be compacted to 98% SPD on all roadways. Underneath the apartments will not be compacted to 98% SPD instead the apartments will be built on piles. The 7.3 ha remaining environmental reserve area (25.1 ha total owned lot area - 17.8 ha developable area) will be undisturbed leaving...

    We do have approval to develop in the floodplain. The city has seen the conceptual subdivision plan and the engineering brief and approved it. The developer has changed the lot layout a few times since the city has last seen it but the building envelope area has not changed. This subdivision...

    Alternative to riprap in stormwater wet pond design

    The wet pond has a 7:1 sideslope where the riprap will be placed. The edge of the wet pond will be within 200m of the city's river edge. The proposed subdivision will be composed of executive townhouses and apartments. I am trying to make this pond look as natural as possible without breaking...

    Alternative to riprap in stormwater wet pond design

    I have looked at my local standards which state erosion protection must be placed around the perimeter of the stormwater wet pond to an elevation of a 1:5 year water level. Is there other less expensive options or products available than rip rap. Maybe for example a type of geo-fibre or grid...

    guardrail design

    A guardrail is warranted in one of my roadways according to the highway geometric design guide of Alberta. I was wondering how far past the critical 5m embankment drop location (the starting of the guardrail) would I extend the guardrail up the roadway in a 60 km/h zone and if the roadway has...
