@Civilman72 Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for (sorta, I was hoping for something prepacked in a box...) How did you use the daily highs and lows to estimate the runoff? Do you have any resources that I could use to learn more about this type of thing? My work is mostly in the...
@miningman Yeah, when you're talking Resolute Bay this would be WAY south. Though I'd be interested to see what it would take to build a hospital that far north.
@psmart I'm looking for things beyond just increasing the Curve Number. In areas with long and snowy winter the majority of the precipitation from October - March is stored in the Snowpack throughout those months and is released during snowmelt events in early spring. A rainfall event just adds...
dhengr,
Yeah, the Stormwater requirements are pretty strict. The hospital will be pretty close to Lake Superior so it's mostly sandy sandy soils on the north half of the site but it gets fairly rocky in the southern half. I've been using the Web Soil Survey for preliminary info on soils but...
We're a consulting Civl Engineer to the owner. The Hospital hasn't been built yet (we're still in the early stages of the project). The City doesn't have much of anything useful but I haven't looked for State regulations yet. I'm not sure what you mean by what time of year, but I'm specifically...
Hello everyone,
I'm working on a project doing site design for a large hospital on a ~60 acre site in the UP of Michigan. I was wondering if anybody had advice or could point me in the direction of some good resources for things to take into consideration when working on projects like this. The...
If it's available, Bentley's PondPack software is very intuitive and has a number of different models to use. Definitely do not do the second method you suggested. Almost every municipality requires that you model the runoff using SCS Unit Hydrograph, the Rational Method, or some other method...
