CONTECH ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS

Why have a preconstruction meeting for pipe? Engineers have been designing various types of pipe for hundreds of years, while contractors have been installing it for hundreds of years. What needs to be discussed?  It’s fair to say that all stake holders (owner, engineer, contractor and manufacturer) want a successful project. Taking the time a week prior to installation to cover key items will save time, and money, by recognizing and mitigating any issues before they arise.

Contech and US Pipe team up to delivered an educational webinar designed to address the challenges and opportunities in municipal water and wastewater infrastructure.

Stormwater parks are an innovative solution for managing urban runoff while providing recreational and ecological benefits to communities. However, in dense urban areas, the large amount of land traditionally required for these parks poses a major challenge due to high costs, limited space, and competing land uses. This blog explores how high-rate bioretention systems offer a compact, efficient alternative that enables the development of successful stormwater parks even in space-constrained environments, with real-world examples from Washington State.

With urban expansion outpacing natural infrastructure, cities face a growing challenge: managing the surge of stormwater that leads to flooding, pollution, and environmental harm. One innovative solution is the stormwater park—a green space designed not only for recreational use but also to manage stormwater through advanced engineering techniques.
