Casos prácticos
Creek Culvert Bypass Helps New York State Avoid a Major Road Closure
Mayfield Creek in Fulton County, New York, is an arterial body that flows out of Great Sacandaga Lake for approximately four miles through farmland and the upstate countryside.
During an inspection, it became clear that one major culvert – 140 feet long, 15 feet tall and running under heavily traveled Route 30 – had outlived its expected life. The 10-guage corrugated steel structure was deteriorated and needed to be repaired – with as little disruption to Route 30 traffic patterns as possible.
Efficient Handling of Wastewater at a Harbor
To prevent pollution by sewage from ships, governments are required to ensure the provision of adequate sewage reception facilities.
One of the ports within the Ports of Stockholm was outfitted with a Flygt pump station for the handling of sewage and grey water. To handle the large amount of waste water without clogging, a Flygt TOP pump station including N-pumps was installed.
