Designing Erosion Control Solutions for Extreme Storm Events

Tuesday, August 18

This webinar, presented by Jill Pack of Tensar North American Green, explores how to properly design and implement erosion control systems to manage high-flow 100-year storm events using a natural vegetated approach. Discussion includes the latest in erosion control technologies and design tools, benefits compared to traditional designs, and how you can design and apply these new innovations to your projects.

Discussion includes the latest in erosion control technologies and design tools, benefits compared to traditional designs, and how you can design and apply these new innovations to your projects. [text_ad] The session starts by discussing the 100-year storm, its increasing erosion potential, and what this means for your site. Pack will then outline the latest in erosion control technologies (e.g., geosynthetics, scour transition) and design tools available for managing high-flow storm events with vegetated designs. The webinar includes the details of using geosynthetic reinforced erosion control systems (including their designs, applications, and benefits) and explores how using a combination of erosion control systems and geosynthetic reinforcement solutions can improve your erosion control while cutting costs. Pack will also present a comparison of traditional versus naturally vegetated designs highlighting the differences in project cost, environmental impact, and installation time. Finally, she will present real-world examples, project site examples, and case studies of extreme storm events, the applications used to successfully mitigate erosion control issues, and how you can apply these to your site.

Increasingly, stormwater management is going underground. Because they need smaller footprints, larger stormwater capture, and better flow mitigation, many facilities are looking to incorporate underground precast stormwater detention or retention systems at their sites to meet stormwater permit requirements. This webinar helps you determine what type of system is best for your site and how to accurately size and design a system for your needs. It explores underground precast concrete modular stormwater detention/retention systems; their design, installation, and maintenance best practices; and use of hydrologic and hydraulic modeling to design a system to meet your site’s stormwater requirements. Fromelius will outline the design, installation, and maintenance of underground precast stormwater detention/retention systems, and how you can apply these to your site to maximize your storage capacity, mitigate your peak flow, and meet EPA recommendations. While discussing stormwater storage, Fromelius and Beyerlein will cover the principles of hydrology and hydraulic modeling and how you can use a stormwater modeling program to accurately and easily size stormwater control facilities to meet NPDES MS4 permit and low impact development (LID) requirements. The webinar includes real-world examples and case studies of precast systems at work in several applications. Click here for more information and registration.
