Inspecting Construction Erosion Part 2

 

Inspecting Construction Erosion Part 2  Inspecting construction erosion controls at a road construction project. Best management practices include: silt fence, stabilized construction entrance, drip pan, secondary containment of gasoline and concrete washout pan.

Issues discussed include: sediment track out, possible catch basin collecting dirty water, gas can sitting out of secondary containment, potential for high pH concrete wash water overflow and equipment drip pan in poor condition.

Inspecting-Check Dams Need Low Center Point

Check dams need to be installed with a low center point.  This means  that the center of the dam is at least 6 to 8 inches lower than the outside edge; 12 inches in areas where intense rainfall occurs. If the center is higher than the outer edges, water will run around the dam and erode the side slopes of the ditch, causing erosion. If the ditch is shallow and you are using triangular silt dikes, you might need to add sand bags to create a point that is lower than the center.
