Proper site preparation is imperative to a successful erosion control project. Lauren discusses the importance of correcting any rilling and explains why grubbing out existing vegetation is key to proper vegetation establishment. #erosion control #restoration #reclamation #construction #development

Did you know your town or city might require a tree survey when selling or improving property? 🌲 By measuring the caliper of the tree and documenting the species with it's location on the property we are able to help developers with their submittal packages. #AmericanMeridian #surveyorlife #locationandmapping #boundarysurvey #landsurveying #landsurveyor #surveyor #surveying #dfwbusiness

✔️ #Bridge #Scour Do you know how a #flood can result in the collapse of a #river bridge piers? ✳️✳️ Simply put, #scour is the engineering term for the #erosion of soil surrounding a bridge foundation (piers and abutments). Bridge scour occurs when fast-moving water around a bridge removes #sediment from around the bridge foundation, leaving behind scour holes and compromising the integrity of a structure. #water #flood #floods #river #debris #watermanagement #watercrisis #erosion #ecology #modflw #hydraulic #Cylinders #Channels #environment #bridge #pier #river #hydraulicstructure #hydraulic #NargesRaeisi #globaleconomy #waterinnovation

This is why I love to work on projects in #NorthernMichigan. Here you can see the West Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, with the Leelanau Peninsula on the other side. A future home site on Old Mission Peninsula with this view at the bottom of the bluff. What is the bluff made of, you might ask? Well, it's made up of primarily cohesive (clayey) material, containing seams of silt and layers of sand, silty sand, and sandy silty clay, with some boulders from the surface down to approximately 3 feet. The topsoil consists of black organic peat, which is completely saturated in some areas by the groundwater that is seeping out of the slope from the area directly upslope from the bay, and is perched near the ground surface above the highly impermeable subsurface soils. Interesting subsurface soil and groundwater conditions from a #geotechnicalengineering #foundationdesign perspective. #slopestability

HEIC can make light work of land that other compaction methods may not be able to reach – including reclaimed or otherwise inaccessible land – opening up new development opportunities. The technique also enables compaction without disturbing what’s underneath. This is particularly useful in adverse soil conditions that may pose a risk to people or the surrounding environment when compacted. #Landpac #HEIC #Compaction #HeavyEquipment

🚧 Controversial Quarry Project Faces Major Setback in Parleys Canyon 🌲 Granite Construction’s ambitious plans to develop the I-80 South Quarry in Parleys Canyon have hit a snag. The company, aiming to build a limestone quarry, has been denied approval for a crucial stream reroute that is vital for their project. The Utah Division of Water Rights has put the application on hold, citing insufficient information about the proposed culvert. This delay underscores the ongoing debate over environmental impacts and water rights in the region. 🌟 The I-80 South Quarry, designed to supply aggregate materials to the Wasatch Front, has faced fierce opposition from local residents, officials, and environmental advocates. Concerns center on potential threats to air quality, water sources, and wildlife. Notably, Parleys Creek is responsible for approximately 20% of Salt Lake City’s water supply. Despite the hurdles, Granite Construction remains determined to push forward, working with various stakeholders to address the regulatory challenges. Stay tuned for further developments on this contentious issue. #EnvironmentalImpact #Quarry #WaterRights #Utah #SustainableDevelopment #SaveOurCanyons #GraniteConstruction #ParleysCanyon #CommunityImpact

The ecohydraulic approach model, which articulates multitemporal geomorphology, hydrological and hydraulic models, urban planning and the ecosystem approach, generates as a result harmonious stormwater management and control works, materializing green corridors of life, which strengthen the genesis of the water cycle. This beautifies the natural architecture of the cities. A territorial planning process of which all municipal entities must be part, fulfilling their responsibilities aimed at improving the quality of life of inhabitants, mitigating disasters, and strengthening urban environmental conditions.
