The EnviroPod LittaTrap is a catch basin insert that effectively captures pollutants directly at the catch basin inlet before they can enter the stormwater system. ...
When should floating baffles be installed in a basin, pond or treatment system? Consider installing floating baffles when: Designing or upgrading any pond, lagoon or tank where settling, biological treatment or disinfection depends on retention time (for example, maturation ponds, settling basins, clearwells or balance tanks) (Chatoyer Environmental 2025). ...
They ensure water containment and prevent seepage, which is crucial for the safety and efficiency of these structures. Stormwater Management: Geomembranes are employed in stormwater management systems to create detention basins and retention ponds. They help control the flow of stormwater and protect against soil erosion. ...
It manages 440 km of pipe, six treatment plants, and 12 stormwater retention basins. With a staff of more than 1,770 employees and an annual budget of 1.3 billion euros, SIAAP covers four areas: Paris, Hauts-de- Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis, and Val-de-Marne, along with 180 municipalities in the Val d’Oise, Essonne, Yvelines and Seine-et-Marne. ...
Every day humans are becoming more technically advanced, taking in all kinds of development. But this technological growth can also have a large impact on our natural environment. With rapid urbanization, there are certain factors such as atmospheric pollution, and global warming, that need to be addressed in order to protect the planet. Cities are trading green patches for concrete structures ...
According to the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Report Card for America’s Infrastructure, municipalities are at a higher risk of stormwater runoff than ever before. More than 60% of the nation’s stormwater utilities have significant concerns about aging infrastructure handling long-term stormwater runoff control needs. ...
Fortunately, a proven technology exists that addresses issues associated with these conditions and provides a more stable cover solution for landfill covers, lagoons, stormwater containment basins and other geomembrane covered systems. Soil, aggregate and concrete protective covers over geomembranes can be secured against known gravitational, hydrodynamic and ...
Challenge A coal fired power plant needed an upgraded stormwater treatment system to properly deal with high levels of coal ash (from coal pile run-off), solids, and oil prior to discharge. The plant had previously collected run-off and stormwater into in-ground basins that were then pumped through a coalescing (CPI) oil/water separator. ...
Issues and Challenges: Turbid construction stormwater. No on-site collection basins or management options. Diminished site access. ...
Stabilization for Higher-Performing Pavements Ports and intermodal yards in coastal areas are more prone to pavement problems due to inherent soft, unsupportive soils and high water levels. Heavy traffic patterns and the constant weight of loaded parked trailers and stacked containers at these facilities can accelerate the degradation of the paved or unpaved surfaces and subbase materials. The ...
Project Location: Dubuque, Iowa Owner: Upper Bee Branch Creek-Channel, Streets, and Utilities GC: Tschiggfrie Excavating Project Revenue: 200,000,000 Project Start and End Date: July 2015 SUMMARY The City of Dubuque’s Bee Branch Creek Restoration Project was awarded a 2018 Eddy Award. The annual Eddy Awards are presented to those who have made the Mississippi River a ...
Problem: Brevard County converted two borrow pits into retention ponds for polluted stormwater collected from the Pine Island Canal. This waterway collects stormwater from a 5,970 acre drainage basin, including citrus groves and agricultural land, and deposits it into the Indian River. ...
Human societies around the world have used timber as a building material for thousands of years. As wood is the only significant biological building material we are naturally inclined to believe that using wood in construction is good for the environment. As a matter of fact the environmental benefits of using timber are not straightforward: although it is a natural product, a large amount of ...
Evaluation of the landscape mosaic clearly identifies urban form and its significant issues in creating ecological links and patches, such as, marshes, streams, roads and shrubs that can create potential opportunities during stormwater management. Geographically, the low-lying area plays an important role as the natural detention/retention basin for ...
When enough sediment accumulates in catch basins and storm drains, it can prevent stormwater runoff from draining freely, causing flooding. ...
First below water ERH remediation of TCE in active stormwater retention basin Project Summary TRS Group, Inc. (TRS) worked as a sub contractor to Landau Associates on this unique ERH remediation project. This project represents the first of its kind using ERH for site remediation underneath an industrial storm water retention basin full of ...
Description Stormwater catch basin had cracks and crevices allowing infiltration of soil and erosion of the surrounding ground. ...
Temporal variations in rainfall, runoff and water availability increase, and need to be compensated for by innovative adaptation strategies. One of these is stormwater retention and infiltration in open and/or green spaces in the city (blue–green water integration). This study evaluated the efficiency of three adaptation strategies for the city of Turnhout in Belgium, ...
This study is based on in situ experiments carried out on a stormwater retention basin with the aim of estimating the basin efficiency in trapping and removing micropollutants from stormwater run-off from an industrial catchment drained by a separate sewer system. Along with stormwater, the basin ...
Retention–detention basins are important structures for managing stormwater. However, their long-term operation raises the problem of managing the sediments they accumulate. ...
