So does the water go through in the right hand corner of each cell? Or is each cell a separate containment area?

OK- let’s save the world! Glad to be among the initiated here…

Here is some pics from the project I described below- this was from 3 months ago and is coming along nicely. Note the re-used granite that we incorporated from existing curbs on the street. The sidewalk is alternating concrete broom finish and shell agreggate wash.

What is the grade and the largest amount of water you are dealing with? The planter needs to be designed to handle whatever nature throws at you. You can retrofit the drain like Chris said to become the overflow at the down end of your planter. If you have a lot of slope, check dams can hold the water and pool it to infiltrate fully. Then the…[Read more]

Are you talking about installing a planter over a storm inlet, or a storm line?

Teresa Buckwalter posted an update in the group Green Streets 13 years, 8 months ago

We are designing stormwater bioretention planters for a downtown. We want to place a planter where a storm drain currently exists. Can a planter be designed over a storm drain and be an effective bioretention measure — i.e. slowing down rainwater but not completely infiltrating? Appreciate any input.

I just took section A. I thought it was on the Legal and Administrative Aspects of Practice. Little did I know that I was going to be tested on concrete test and what trash to recycle on the job site…..as a matter of fact I don’t remember seeing one question on bidding or the process or contract…Thanks CLARB for making me study crap that has…[Read more]

John, thanks for sharing. Do you have any site photos, from these projects, that you’re able to post here?

John Galbavy posted an update in the group Green Streets 13 years, 9 months ago

If anybody here has done any public work involving raingardens in Florida let me know! Since I have been working for my firm here in Tampa we have completed 4 to 5 significant “raingarden” type projects; one of them being a LAP FDOT streetscape for Tarpon Springs. Public work involving stormwater management in a creative way is far and few…[Read more]

Let me just add to my last with a couple of tidbits. Don’t worry about taking all the tests at once. I have not noticed a lot of overlap – each section almost entirely pertains to its stated material. Frankly, I think folks that say “that test had nothing but section # material on it!” likely did not prepare long enough to know that they were be…[Read more]

You’re welcome. I hope it helps. I’m using this method now to study for Section B.

Jarrod Katzer posted an update in the group L.A.R.E. – ANYTHING GOES 13 years, 11 months ago

I’ve taken two of the three multiple choice exams and passed those two the first time using the following method. I wrote a blog entry somewhere on this site expanding on this method but here it is in a nutshell: It may seem strange at first but it works – apparently. You should know I have no LA degree so I had even that much more of a hand…[Read more]
