Storm Drain Inlet Protection. We will review the evolution of sediment control. Discussions on systems that have always worked (Hay bales, geotextile wrapped grates, Drop inlet protection, above grate and below grate systems). Attendees will have a greater understanding on when to use or specify each type of system. The evolution of innovation for sediment control inlet protection will be reviewed. Which systems should be used for what? The differences in Construction and Post Construction Storm Drain Inlet Protection systems will be detailed. What are the different objectives, goals, and results for each system.
Review & discussion of Virginia DOT Study "Evaluation of the Filtration Effectiveness of Dewatering Bags and Assessment of Potential Improvements" by Lewis Lloyd of Virginia DOT. An evolution in dewatering system approaches. When to use which system, and for what applications .
Attendees will leave this presentation with an understanding of the various types of storm drain inlet protection systems available. They will have an understanding of the problems these systems are designed to solve. Which should be used for what application. What are the differing needs for construction sediment control v Post construction sediment control. Value of Underground Infrastructure Protection provided by Post Construction Inlet Protection Systems.
Attendees will also have complete understanding on Dewatering Systems. The advantages and disadvantages of Nonwoven Dewatering Bags & woven Dewatering Bags. What applications are best handled by each type of dewatering bag. Problems when dewatering. Discussion on what the problems are, why they are problems, and how these can be rectified.
Learning Objectives:
Close some of the open ended costs on projects by eliminating unnecessary repairs, failures, cleanups, and more
Justify solving the problem once, instead of repeated actions.
Feel confidant in understanding the types of sediment control solutions that are available.
