Construction Phase Strategy Comparison of Idaho Desert and Mountain Projects

Presenters: Adam A. Lyman, PE, CPESC & Dan Strauss, CESSWI

We will examine two projects and their winter shutdown techniques. This comparison of the two projects will consist of a desert climate and a mountain climate. We will also demonstrate the differences in techniques, successes and failures of BMP's for each project.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to use strategies for dealing with projects located in various climates.
Upon completion, participants will be able to better assess winter shutdown strategies for projects with large steep slopes.
Upon completion, participants will be able to better prepare winter time stabilization schedules for large earth moving projects.
