Case Study Two:
DOT Highway Construction.
Issues and Challenges:
-
Excessive rainfall amounts
-
Scheduling and project delays
-
Sensitive nearby waters
-
Stringent discharge requirements
-
Groundwater flows
Approaches and Solutions:
Heavy sediment laden water threatened to breach the temporary retention basin sidewalls resulting in contamination of a nearby river.
Liquid Biostar-CH was injected into the water as it was pumped from the basins.
Weir tanks were employed to pre-settle the suspended solids prior to passing through a sand filtration system.
Clean water was allowed to be discharged directly into the river.
