It was the flood water forces resulting from Hurricane Harvey that damaged both the hillside and building to the extent that the building needed to be closed.

The Carrington Place Apartments layout did not offer any possible vacuum truck access to a feature located behind one of the buildings. As manually cleaning the type of SWQM feature would be fairly...
A vacant lot next on the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Calliope was going to be a challenge to develop into a new eatery and bar in the Warehouse District. The surrounding environment isn’t the most...
How did PowerBlock serve the function of a detention pond, drainage inlet and a water quality unit on this project?

...How do you manage stormwater runoff from a 19th century building in an urbanized downtown location? The City of New Orleans requires developments over 5,000 SF to detain and treat the first 1.25”...
If the City of Ennis was going to invest heavily into a pedestrian friendly roadway, they needed to ensure the trees would survive and reach full maturity.
...Many Low Impact Development Practices were used, including bioretention, bioswales, vegetated structural roadway shoulders, permeable pavers and rainwater harvesting and reuse.

...Harris County Precinct 4 decided to go with developing their new service center as a Low Impact Development site to implement the allowable practices in the counties Low Impact Development Design Manual...
Within the swales are a series of forebays that pond stormwater behind earthen berms, at the bottoms of which are 10” pipes that allow low flows through and extend time of concentration for larger...
The engineers were able to take advantage of using Harris County’s Low Impact Development (LID) regulations by increasing the time of concentration of storm water on this site.
...The LID solution nearly eliminate a detention pond and in the process gained three additional lots, or 15% more homes
...The LID solution nearly eliminated the need for a detention pond altogether and in the process gained three additional lots, or 15% more homes.
...Utilizing a dry swale as the primary conveyance feature, the design team explored the various biofiltration medias available for filtering pollutants.
...The completed lot shows clients how Low Impact Development can be used to increase aesthetic appeal, and increase time of concentration and decrease peak flows.
...The primary feature that makes Bagby Street a Greenroads design is a series of biofiltration planter boxes that line both sides of Bagby street and collect stormwater runoff, storing it and filtering...
Upon arrival, the complexities were apparent – there were three backed up detention ponds attempting to feed into the non-operational NSBB which in turn was trying to discharge into a completely backed...
Traditional bioretention was not feasible with the limited area for treatment and long-term maintenance, leaving the engineers with a decision to use FocalPoint High Flow Biofiltration.
...The unpredictable and frequent storms, combined with clay soils, forced the design team to create a solution that would perform under extreme conditions while keeping the long-term maintenance costs...
The civil engineers were tasked with managing and treating 1,000 cubic feet of stormwater runoff within a 1,200 square foot area, most of which is a parking surface.
...The building was over 150 years old and was limited on space, so how could heavy excavation equipment be used?
...Working with Construction EcoServices, the engineers at EHRA, Inc. rescued this project using Low Impact Development (LID).
