Planning & Managing for Resilient Infrastructure in a Changing Climate: McElhanney’s Culvert Vulnerability Asset Management System
McElhanney’s Culvert Vulnerability Asset Management System, 2024 ACEC-BC Award of Excellence
Winner: Award of Excellence
Client & Project Owner: BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure
McElhanney’s Culvert Vulnerability Asset Management System is an innovative way to enable our client, the BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, to assess culverts. A broad spectrum of data such as infrastructure, geography and physiography, climate change, hydrometrics, transportation routes, and environmental values is input into the system. This information is used to derive values for flow, hydraulic capacity, consequence factors, and the vulnerability score at each crossing, including the results from various climate change scenarios.
