Our Teston Sluice Refurbishment project has recently received 45/45 in a recent Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) audit. The work we are carrying out on the Teston Sluice Refurbishment project will restore the gate, built in 1974, which is in a state of mechanical and electrical deterioration resulting in a risk of failure to the structure's operation. The project aims to enhance the natural, historic, and built environment and provide safe access all year round to the lock site as well as protect the community from the risk of flooding. The CCS report highlights the site team’s efforts to care for the environment, with a wide range of environmental plans in place and all flood protection plans deliver compliance with VolkerStevin’s net zero corporate commitment for 2030. The site team also has regular briefings on wildlife, endangered species and identification of invasive species. The report also praises the team’s dedication to leave a lasting, positive impact on the community. Throughout the duration of the project, the team has been proactive in engaging with the public, visiting local schools to talk about the career opportunities available in construction, welcoming work experience students to site and undertaking litter picks in the local area. Congratulations to the Teston team!

?? San Cristóbal de La Laguna City Council is making progress in restoring its former wetland, and we're excited to share the latest developments! ??The City Council has taken a significant step by putting out a tender for a hydrogeological study to restore the former #wetland that gave the city its name. This study will be fundamental to understanding the dynamics of ground and surface water in the area, which will allow for the design of effective strategies for wetland restoration. ?? In order for the old La Laguna wetland to see the light again, a highly precise technical deployment is required: ?? #Hydrological and hydrogeological studies of the area ?? #Cartography, #precipitation #climatic data ?? Estimation of #infiltration to the #aquifer ?? Inventory of #water points (e.g., springs, wells, galleries) ?? Mapping water flows such as ravines, ditches and irrigation channels, springs and spillways. ?? All this information will allow us to update a conceptual hydrogeological model of the Vega Lagunera, and thus, establish predictive scenarios to optimize the park's design and evaluate its performance under extreme conditions. To do this, we will simulate different alternatives, such as: ?? Extreme scenario of high precipitation ?? Extreme #drought scenario ??? Possible changes in the position of the drains and in the base topography of the wetland. The hydrogeological study was put up for tender in July, valued at 72,905 euros, with a four-month execution period. Its aim is to analyze the park's viability as part of a #Green Infrastructure Plan, addressing #sustainable #urban #drainage management through controlled #flooding. ?? In September, work began to determine the terrain's morphology and extract the preliminary data necessary to carry out the technical study. Additionally to this first survey, three more similar were performed at different points, using machinery capable of drilling up to 10 meters deep and extracting the deposited material, which will help to precisely define the characteristics of the subsoil.??? The surveys will allow us to know the lithography of the terrain, data necessary to perform the study of the hydrogeological model that will determine the levels of the wetland bottom when maintaining a fixed water level throughout the year, and to see at what level we have the basalt to lay the foundation for possible structures, walkways or bridges. The next step ?? Conducting the hydrogeology study, which will be awarded by the public company Gestur-Canarias. ??

Bulkhead Installation – Advanced Techniques for Superior Results - In recent years, a troubling trend has emerged in bulkhead installation. Many new seawalls, designed to withstand decades of coastal forces, are failing within just a few years. This alarming issue raises questions about modern construction methods and materials. However, innovative solutions are now available to address these early failures and ensure long-lasting coastal protection. […]

We are pleased to share a very special video featuring a channel & watercourse reconstruction project we completed in Orangeville, Ontario. Natural Channel Design (NCD) is a specialized approach to watercourse restoration and realignment which attempts to reconstruct channels to emulate the natural physical form of the river or stream features that would be appropriate for that location. There were several sensitive environmental constraints that had to be managed during the design and construction of the project, including: *Removal of an existing pond to maximize developable area for the site and its’ natural environment *Re-connection upstream & downstream of the Mill Creek Tributary *Passage of native fish through both the existing tributary and new channel *Settlement of fine particles and their affect on water quality *Flood relief and floodplain storage for larger rain events A few unique engineering features included: *Implementation of natural erosion controls through plantings at channel banks, seeding & erosion blankets *Implementation of the channels’ meandering shape and rifles / pool systems to protect the channel bed *Aeration and cooling the water *Energy dissipation to support aquatic habitat Hebster Construction is extremely proud to have been part of this incredible team of planners, surveyors, designers, and specialized consulting engineers. With their hard work and support, our crews collaborated to execute and deliver this critical piece of infrastructure, providing critical habitat to the natural environment. In collaboration with the Town of Orangeville and all those involved, the project was a huge success! A huge thanks to Dan Gallo for showcasing our work through this incredible video. #Crozier #GeoMorphix #SchollenandCompanyInc #dgaerialimagery #branding #innovation #construction

Check out a great discussion in the comment that pulls heaps of knowledge I learned from my PhD study with my mentor alumni! #WSUD #root #stormwater #mentoring
