Storm System Cleaning Have you received notice from a governing entity concerning your Stormwater Quality permit and don’t really know what the right next step is? Contact us today and we will get a copy of your SWQMP for you at no charge. Additionally, we will schedule some time to go over the plan with you and explain the requirements and cost associated with them. Our storm drain cleaning and stormwater maintenance experts think that with the right information in hand, our customers can feel confident that they are not performing (and paying for) unnecessary, costly maintenance. If you’re the type who doesn’t really care how the watch is made, you just want to know what time it is, then our compliance and storm drain cleaning experts can do that too. And while we appreciate the trust, we provide all manifests and documentation for your records so that you can rest assured that your compliance is our main goal. https://lnkd.in/eevE5mka #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #harriscounty #houston

If you are feeling cold and uninspired then read this ePaper on the Building Safety Regulator's launch of its Strategic Report In it, I manage to reference some pretty impressive scientific knowledge that you will be using in the pub by the end of dry January #construction #realestate #buildingsafetyact 

Do you know how often a culvert should be inspected? Culvert inspections are vital for keeping our infrastructure safe and efficient. They can help avoid problems like flooding and road damage. To learn more about these factors and how to perform a proper culvert inspection, click here to read our blog post: https://bit.ly/3OBDbm7

Water leak damage is a real headache for construction companies. 30% of Builders Risk claims come from water damage, a problem that can happen at any time, and cause temporary or permanent loss. This can cause direct costs of clean up, repair, replacement, mold, and long delays in restarting construction. The answer is always prevention, but where do you begin? All you need to know on how to get this process going on your construction site > https://lnkd.in/duieNgHR #waterleaks #watermanagement #watersystems

It is the final week of our Summer Stormwater Corrective Series! Stormwater systems are engineered devices and each system component contributes to the design function, such as stormwater pipes, risers, inlets, and outlets. Non-compliant system components can lead to major issues like flooding, sinkholes, and even complete system failures. This week's project highlights work on a variety of system components and required an extensive skill-set to complete. Restoring compliance to this device included mowing and clearing of the pond, excavating, regrading the site to original condition, outlet pipe and riser replacement, inlet and outlet rebuilds, sinkhole repair, and final stabilization. https://lnkd.in/geDE9pCT #dragonflypondworks #stormwater #raleighconstruction #environmentalconsulting #facilitymanagement #commercialpropertymanagement

THE Exposed Pipeline Remediation Experts Cajon Deadman Washout Case Study – In our latest case study, discover how Submar protected a 14 inch products pipeline that was exposed for 60 feet and suspended at a height of 17 feet due to lateral migration at Cajon Deadman Washout in San Bernardino County, California. The eroded bank of the riverbed was graded and built up with a compactable fill material. The pipeline was exposed, inspected, and recoated. Geotextile fabric and Pyramat 75 Turf Reinforcement Mat (TRM) were installed to stabilize the steep sloped riverbank. Rip rap was installed along the toe of the riverbank to prevent future scour. During the second month after project completion, the site experienced an 11 inch rainfall in a 24 hour period, which resembled a 370-year storm. After this severe storm, the riverbank was intact and in stable condition as depicted. Submar offers comprehensive turnkey solutions for onshore and offshore pipeline protection, erosion control, and streambank stabilization for the pipeline industry. Our services include site inspection and surveying, environmentally conscious engineered designs, environmental permitting and regulatory compliance, product design and manufacturing, project management and construction, and post-construction monitoring.

Project Spotlight: Coon Rapids Sewer Lining Project Our crew successfully installed 2,956 feet of 36-inch and 199 feet of 42-inch cured-in-place pipeline (CIPP) while monitoring and maintaining a sewage diversions system, and handling flow rates of up to 2,500 gallons per minute (gpm). Cured-in-place pipelining (CIPP) is an innovative technique that can be used either as a standalone pipe or to enhance the structural integrity of existing pipes. This method eliminates the need for excavation, making it a faster, safer, and more efficient alternative to traditional approaches. It also minimizes disruptions to traffic and businesses. If you are concerned about deteriorating sewer lines or groundwater infiltration. Our trenchless technologies at Veit offer municipalities throughout the Midwest a more straightforward and cost-effective solution to open-cut repairs. When you require immediate attention for your sanitary or storm sewers, rely on our experienced team at Veit to provide effective problem-solving.

Case Study The city of Marathon in the Florida Keys completed a $27 million sewer, stormwater, and road-paving project. This project involved sewering the entire city, providing stormwater treatment to all city rights of way, and overlaying every city street. In that project, the Snout, an oil and debris separator from Best Management Products, was used in 940 inlet structures. The city was incorporated in 1999, and eventually the need arose for a retrofitted stormwater system for more than 500 acres of rights of way and public and private land that had been developed but had no previous stormwater treatment. “One of the biggest challenges in the Keys is the high groundwater table,” notes Michael Giardullo, P.E., LEED AP, director of civil engineering for Weiler. “The other is the discharge right into the ocean. It’s a national marine sanctuary. There are a lot of rules about direct discharge or even discharge after detention.” Marathon’s National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit mandated the provision of advanced wastewater treatment. The city chose a vacuum sewer collection system to provide central sewer service to all properties. The Snouts trap floatable and settleable contaminants in the catch basins, which are routinely vacuum-cleaned by maintenance staff, rather than allowing them to the exfiltration piping. The Snouts capture of 50% of fine solids, 95% of floatables, and 50% of hydrocarbons.

It is typically colder after a storm due to a combination of precipitation being colder than ground level air (rain feels cold), evaporation (which requires energy from the air, making it…colder) and the related downward (cold) air movement (friction between the rain and air pulls the cooling air downwards). After the construction sector’s perfect storm of 2023, we now face a chilling start to the New Year as a result of the strategic plans of the Building Safety Regulator (BSR), that look to increase cost and uncertainty, at a time when it is needed least.
