One L.I.D. Project, 3 Perspectives: Designer, Contractor, Owner

Bill Murphy, P.E.

Real-world case study of a site plan that incorporated four different GI/LID stormwater management and water quality systems in the same site as a treatment train. Cost savings and ease of maintenance were secondary results after achieving water quality goals within tight site and geographic restraints. Take a look at one project from three different perspectives to better understand the Who, What, Why, Where and When. Walk away with practical ideas for your own GI/LID projects and a better understanding of key points to assure long-term performance of your site improvements. All of these same concepts and systems can be incorporated into existing infrastructure or included in new construction.

• Civil Engineers/Landscape Architects: learn how to design permeable pavement/underground detention combinations and stormwater pretreatment and water quality treatment trains.
• Contractors: learn how to successfully bid and build green infrastructure/low-impact development systems including permeable pavement, underground detention, stormwater pretreatment and water quality systems.
• Owners/Cities/Maintenance Contractors: learn what to look for during construction and upon project completion with examples of O&M (Operations and Maintenance) manuals featuring key points.
