Manitoba communities are taking important steps to protect their future by investing in heavy construction for better infrastructure and flood prevention. These efforts help ensure safer, more resilient places to live and thrive. Manitoba Heavy Construction Association

Road construction begins on Naaman School Road between Beltline and Brand. The project, part of the 2019 Build Garland Bond Program, will alleviate road congestion by providing twice the number of travel lanes in each direction and improved flood control during storms. https://lnkd.in/gk6dCjvG

Increasing floodwater storage in wetlands through improved mapping and reporting and establishing a 2:1 wetland net-gain policy to reverse historic wetland loss through protection and restoration. #vtpoli #vtenviro #vtflood23

Maintenance Matters: Fence Pruning in Action!  What is fence pruning, and why is it important?  👉 What it is: Fence pruning involves cutting back overgrown vegetation along property lines that border Flood Control District channels.  👉 Why it matters: Overgrown fences can block access for maintenance crews and restrict the flow of stormwater in our channels. Keeping these areas clear ensures we can effectively maintain our channels and keep our community safe.  Help us by reporting obstructions at: hcfcd.org/service-request

Road construction begins on Naaman School Road between Lavon Drive (State Highway 78) and Brand Road. The project, part of the 2019 Build Garland Bond Program, will alleviate road congestion by providing twice the number of travel lanes in each direction and improved flood control during storms. Correcting a previous post that incorrectly identified a cross street for this project. https://lnkd.in/gk6dCjvG

I had the privilege of presenting at the International Geosynthetics Society (IGS) Workshop on flood protection with geosynthetics. We discussed how geotextiles support slope protection, make emergency repairs easy and reduce flood risks for railways and and roads. These solutions are key to creating resilient structures for a flood ready future while enhancing sustainability. #FloodProtection #Geosynthetics #HUESKER Australia Pty Ltd

Did you spot our work on the Don Regulators featured in the latest edition of the Environment Agency's Current Magazine? 👀💧📰 We used a unique temporary syphon solution to help secure enhanced flood protection for communities in South Yorkshire, whilst delivering significant carbon, cost and time savings. Forming part of the Don Regulators project, the innovative solution allowed the site team to create a dry working area to support the installation of a new fish pass on the River Rother.

TCF's Greenseams is a forward-thinking flood management program that permanently protects key natural areas containing important water absorbing soils. We partner with the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District to implement the program. By keeping rainwater where it falls and absorbing it naturally into the ground, Greenseams helps prevent future flooding, protects infrastructure investments and permanently conserves wetlands within six watersheds in Wisconsin.
