How does the ongoing development of infrastructure projects drive the #demand for waterstops, and what role do Waterstops play in flood control and disaster preparedness in the face of increasing #naturaldisasters? The demand for #waterstops is propelled by ongoing #infrastructureprojects like dams, bridges, and tunnels, requiring effective waterproofing solutions for structural integrity. Waterstops, although costly, play a crucial role in #floodcontrol and #disasterpreparedness, offering opportunities for application in response to the increasing #frequency and severity of natural disasters, especially in emerging markets experiencing #economicgrowth.

Floods. 🌊 We all know about these forces of mother nature, living in Australia. The best way is… preparation. That’s where we come in. Bridge Knowledge has experienced engineers that help provide the very best flood studies – with a specialised focus on bridges and rural areas. 🏕️ Here’s some of the scope ~ ✅ Calculating the flows, velocities and water levels for flood events. ✅ Assessment of the capacity of infrastructure in a flood event. ✅ Hydraulic sizing of culverts. ✅ Determining Flood Planning Levels (FPL). If you’ve got roads, bridges or civil projects happening, it’s key to do your #FloodStudies.

Geobear solutions are commonly used as an alternative to grouting techniques. In this example, following flooding at Otley in West Yorkshire, we designed a permeation grouting solution using our geopolymer material. The solution was part of the wider flood defence scheme and addressed high permeability soils and differential water pressure issues.

FLOOD ASSESSMENT PACKAGES 🏡 The increasing frequency of severe flooding incidents has underscored the urgency for flood mitigation strategies.   Our (engineering, ecology, project management) teams has been actively assisting businesses and homeowners impacted by flooding, leading us to develop suitable flood assessment packages. These packages are designed to provide peace of mind for those concerned about the potential effects of heavy rainfall.   Be flood-ready. Talk to Sharon Wang, Sam Liu or Ryan T. from our civil engineering team about which package is best for you.  #floodassessment #waterdamage #aucklandweather #extremeweather #aucklandproperty #nzproperty #aucklandhomes #flooding #floodmitigation #floodprevention #floodinsurance #homeowners #climatechange

River survey procurement: I have some questions. 🌍What issues did you have with your last procured survey? 🌍Did the survey data enable your flood risk assessment to build a better hydraulic model? 🌍 Was the project's critical path honoured? 🌍How could your experience of dealing with the survey company been improved? Our latest case study demonstrates how diligent preparation solves these problems for you. https://lnkd.in/gYMuZhk5 #survey #geospatial #safety

Exploring a Flood Control Infrastructure Project Here’s a glimpse into a fascinating flood control project captured from a drone. The footage shows 5-meter-long steel sheet piles being installed almost entirely into the ground using an excavator and a vibratory hammer along the riverbank and the base of the levee. This setup is likely designed to counteract the piping effect and extend the seepage path of water, thereby slowing down its filtration rate. Role of Steel Sheet Piles in Flood Control Projects: - Preventing Piping: Steel sheet piles create a barrier that prevents soil particles from being carried away by water flow, effectively stopping the piping effect which can lead to levee failure. - Seepage Control: By driving sheet piles deep into the ground, the seepage path is extended, reducing the speed at which water can filter through the soil. This helps in maintaining the structural integrity of levees and embankments. - Structural Support: These piles provide additional structural support to levees, making them more resistant to the forces exerted by floodwaters. - Durability: Steel sheet piles are highly durable and can withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-term protection for flood-prone areas. Comment: Although I do not have the specific details of this project, from my perspective, it could have been optimized by using vinyl sheet piles instead of steel. This substitution could have achieved both financial and ecological benefits. 📽: zinOdA ESPORT (YT) 🌎 Do you like it?

Good morning TEXAS FLOODPLAIN MANAGEMENTASSOCIATION members and other flood/stormwater professionals! If you're on the fence about attending this year's TFMA Technical Summit in August, hopefully this teaser will sway you to register! Usually at #TFMA conferences we have 5, sometimes 6 concurrent session tracks. For this year's technical summit, we will have SEVEN (7) concurrent tracks. That's right...SEVEN. There will be TONS of learning opportunities including new mini workshops lasting 30 or 60 minutes within the concurrent sessions. "What are some of these mini workshops" you might ask? Here's a sneak peek... - A Practical Approach to Enforcement for Local Communities - Permitting in the Floodplain - Substantial Damage - Model Reviews with RASMapper - Flood Mitigation Funding - CLOMRs, LOMRs, and MT-2 Reviews - 1D/2D Modeling for Impact Analyses - Dam Breach Modeling Basics As usual, the conference will kick off with full-day trainings on Tuesday, 8/27 with Texas Water Development Board's Floodplain Management 101 course, FEMA's NFIP 201 course, Freese and Nichols' workshop on HEC-RAS 2D, and Flood Warning hosted by WEST Consultants, Inc. In addition, half-day trainings will be held on Friday, 8/30 on Technical Flood Mitigation from Freese and Nichols, Reviewing 2D models by HDR, and Fluvial Geomorphology from WEST Consultants, Inc. The agenda grid is still in its first draft at the moment but is expected to be finalized by the beginning of next week! More information for the conference registration and hotel room block info can be found on TFMA's brochure for the event here: https://lnkd.in/gFKFnBhu #TFMA #SeeYouThere

Initially attributed to flood damage, our in-depth investigation revealed a different culprit. We determined that the true cause was far from a natural disaster. The absence of proper anchoring and failed connection points were revealed, underscoring the need for meticulous design and maintenance to safeguard against potential failures. . . . #investigation #failure #flooddamage #forensic #damageassessment #assessment #restoration #forensicengineering #engineering
