The integration of EnviroBasin™ technology in the Southdale Road South Project exemplifies a proactive approach towards sustainable stormwater management
The Southdale Road and Colonel Talbot Road project in London, Ontario, was undertaken to enhance traffic flow and infrastructure in the area. It encompassed widening sections of both roads, adding turning lanes, installing traffic lights, and improving pedestrian and cyclist facilities. The primary objectives were to alleviate congestion, bolster safety measures, and accommodate the burgeoning population and traffic demands of the region. Ultimately, the project aimed to enhance transportation efficiency and elevate the overall quality of life for residents and commuters in London, Ontario.
WHY THE ENVIROBASIN™?
Through thorough costing comparisons against traditional separators, project engineers found that EnviroBasin™ not only replaced standard catch basins but also eliminated the requirement for an end-of-line separator, excavation, and pipework. Consequently, the overall cost for stormwater treatment on the project saw a significant reduction.
BENEFITS OF THE ENVIROBASIN™ FOR THIS SITE:
» Large roading project in London where the designer was looking for more economic ways to provide OGS treatment on a large arterial road.
» EnviroBasin™ removes the need for end-of-line systems since it is an at-source treatment method.
» Contractors found installation easy since the EnviroBasin™ comes with a quick-fit boot and installs similarly to a typical catch basin.
TREATMENT SOLUTIONS UTILIZED:
The project leveraged various EnviroBasin™ products tailored to its requirements:
EnviroBasin™ 840 x 600
Combination Inlet EnviroBasin™ Double 840 x 600
Combination Inlet EnviroBasin™ 600 x 600 Ditch Inlet
ISO 14034 ETV VERIFIED
The EnviroBasin™ has been tested to the Procedure for Laboratory Testing of Oil-Grit Separators and has ETV-verified results.
TARGET CONTAMINANTS AND MAINTENANCE:
The EnviroBasin™ solution was tailored to address specific contaminants, including Total Suspended Solids (TSS), trash, and plastic litter. To ensure optimal performance, regular inspections are mandated during the initial year to identify trends for site-specific maintenance requirements. Maintenance intervals for the LittaTraps™ range from every
3 to 12 months, while for the EnviroBasin™ Sump, a maintenance schedule of every 2 to 3 years is recommended.
The integration of EnviroBasin™ technology in the Southdale Road South Project exemplifies a proactive approach towards sustainable stormwater management, enhancing both environmental stewardship and infrastructure development in London, Ontario.
