Bentley Systems’ Post

When it comes to determining the capacity of a pipe, there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. The key lies in understanding whether the pipe is designed to flow full, like water distribution pipes or sewer force mains, or operates under gravity like sanitary, combined, or storm sewers. 💧 Dive into our latest blog - "What's the Capacity of That Pipe?" - where Bentley Expert, Tom Walski, explores what factors influence the capacity and how you can apply this knowledge to your projects. ➡ Read the blog at https://lnkd.in/gu4MwFB4.

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

Paved surfaces like roads, sidewalks, and driveways send #stormwater into our #sewers, but #engineering solutions that filter #water through the ground can help keep our sewers and waterways clean.

OPERATING POROSITY (Sustainable Void Space) Operating Porosity represents the sustainable void space of the PaveDrain system, which was calculated to be 19.5%. This means that the arch within the PaveDrain block is equal to 1.1 inches of stormwater storage ABOVE the base.

We have partnered with select companies that we feel produce high-quality products that work well. We have years of experience working with these companies and their products before we partner with them. AquaShield Aqua-Swirl Aqua-Swirl® Stormwater Treatment System is a custom engineered, post-construction flow-through water quality device designed to remove coarse sediment, debris and free floating oil by utilizing hydrodynamic separation technology. Aqua-Swirl® technology is a modular high flow rate treatment system that has no moving parts and operates under gravity flow conditions within a single swirl chamber. Aqua-Swirl® systems are available in various models based on stormwater performance requirements: -XCelerator -Concentrator -Trash Capture All Aqua-Swirl® models are manufactured from lightweight high high-performance construction materials depending on project-specific location and needs. The small footprint design, combined with these lightweight and durable materials, eliminates the need for heavy lifting equipment during installation. Fabrication facilities are strategically located in the United States and England to better serve our customers by providing cost-effective and timely logistical solutions. Each unit includes lifting supports and stub-outs for the inlet and outlet piping to allow for quick and simple connection to the conveyance storm pipe. Traffic rated manhole frame & cover. Inspection and maintenance activities are easily performed from the surface without the need for confined space entry or special equipment. A vacuum truck is typically used to clean the swirl chamber. https://lnkd.in/eevE5mka #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #harriscounty #houston

A construction exit is a designated point on a construction site where vehicles exit the site after completing their work. Establishing a proper construction exit is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps prevent the tracking of sediment, debris, and pollutants onto public roads, minimizing the impact on neighboring areas. Second, a well-designed construction exit ensures safe and efficient traffic flow, reducing the risk of accidents and congestion. Lastly, by providing a clear and controlled exit point, it helps maintain the integrity of erosion control measures and sediment containment practices implemented on the site. The accompanying article offers helpful information to stormwater management workers regarding the establishment of a proper construction exit. It provides insights into the key components and considerations involved in creating an effective exit point, and discusses the importance of site layout, vehicle circulation, and proper signage to guide vehicles safely out of the construction site. It also highlights the significance of proper maintenance and monitoring of the construction exit, emphasizing the need for regular inspections to ensure the exit remains free of sediment buildup and other potential obstructions. Read on to learn more about the effective management of construction site runoff and protect water quality both during and after your construction activities! https://buff.ly/3QdmL3o #NPDES #NPDESTraining #NPDESTrainingInstitute #TrainingThatMatters #Stormwater #StormwaterManagement #StormwaterProfessionals #StormwaterTraining #MS4Training #MS4sMatter #WaterQuality

Storm System Cleaning If you haven’t heard of the Stormwater Quality Management Permit (SWQMP), haven’t seen one, and don’t have a copy of yours, then it needs to be on property for inspection by regulators. If you already have a stormwater quality provider, and you aren’t familiar with the SWQMP for your property, that should be a red flag. How can we know the requirements of the system without knowing what is in the SWQMP? Part of our process is always to help our customers understand the requirements of their particular SWQMP. To that end, we procure a copy from the civil engineer of record or the county/city, and go through it with the property manager or owner to clarify any confusion. With this information and a solid understanding of the storm drain or catch basin drainage system cleaning in Houston, maintenance requirements, and compliance, we feel the owner can make educated decisions based on the realities of the permit…not the word of a commissioned salesman. https://lnkd.in/eevE5mka #stormwater #civilengineering #stormwaterprofessionalsgroup #texas

“The testing completed on the PaveDrain® permeable pavement system shows that this system is able to infiltrate rainwater and effectively be rejuvenated by the PaveDrain® VacHead if it becomes clogged with sediment. With the amount of void space provided in the typical Pave Drain® system design, it can be inferred that these systems will be able to satisfactorily infiltrate Stormwater with longer maintenance intervals.” Mike Hardin, Ph.D., P.E., CFM PaveDrain Performance Report Brochure https://lnkd.in/gJhdrrUt #permeablepaving #greeninfrastructure #stormwater #civilengineering #pavedrain
