As-built surveys
Created page with "Throughout the construction process, it is sometimes necessary to deviate from the intended design of LID features and adapt the design to on-site conditions. The completion of a post-construction as-built survey is a standard operating procedure for engineering projects that captures any changes made to the feature’s design during construction.<sb> Survey Steps: #Use the same datum as the pre-engineering survey #If a pre-engineering survey is not available, use a ref..."

Overflow: Installation
Created page with "Overflows are features of inline facilities and convey larger storm events out of the LID feature. Construction Steps: #Connect the overflow drain to the underdrain #Install overflow pit to grade at the location specified in the contract documents #Fit a metal, domed grate to the overflow Key Inspection Points: *Overflow drain matches design specifications *Overflow pit is positioned at the maximum water surface elevation of the practice, as per the cont..."

Monitoring wells: Installation
Created page with "Monitoring wells allow for measurement of water levels in the sub-surface components of LID practices. They are important for sampling procedures and ensuring that the LID feature are performing as intended.<br> Construction Steps:<br> #Install a cap stand at the required elevation to anchor the monitoring well. #Wrap the perforated pipe with a geotextile sock (to prevent migration of soil into the well). #Anchor the perforated pipe to the bottom of the LID feature. #In..."

Impermeable liners: Installation
Created page with "Impermeable liners can be applied when LID features are not intended to infiltrate runoff into the underlying soil. They protect building foundations or other subsurface infrastructure. They also prevent infiltration through contaminated soils. Where building foundations next to the LID feature are not waterproofed, liners can be used to protect adjacent infrastructure.<br> Construction Steps:<br> #Compact 30 – 50 mm of sand over the soil onto which the membrane will..."

Underdrains: Installation
Created page with "Underdrains Underdrains are perforated pipes that collect subsurface water and convey water out of an LID facility once it reaches capacity. Their design is determined by the drainage requirements of the feature. Construction Steps: 1. Install the underdrain to grade with a consistent slope of 0.5% to 1.0% 2. Connect overflow risers with single-elbowed ‘y’ connections or 45° elbows 3. Situate maintenance risers where siltation is expected in drain lines (such as a..."
Geogrids: Installation
Created page with "Where structural loads are anticipated or underlying soil is particularly soft, geogrid can be applied in conjunction with geotextile. Geogrid is a rigid geosynthetic material that can be laid on sub-grade to reinforce softer soils and provide a more even distribution of loads across the sub-grade materials.<br> <gallery mode="packed" widths=300px heights=300px> geogrid-beside.jpg | Geogrid rolled out prior to installation. geogrid-silvacells.jpg | Geogrid wrapped aroun..."

Geotextiles: Installation
Created page with "Geotextiles Geotextiles are filter fabrics that can be installed to separate dissimilar soils and prevent the migration of materials. Geotextiles are recommended for installation at the bottom and side limits of the LID feature and should be implemented at the discretion of the engineer. Construction Steps: #Roll out fabric on the flattened sub-grade surface #Provide a minimum overlap of 300 mm between adjacent lengths of geotextile. If the manufacturer specifies a grea..."
