CLIMATE RESILIENT RURAL AND LOW-VOLUME ROADS
Gordon Keller | Geotechnical Engineer, GENESEE GEOTECHNICAL
Level: Intermediate
Duration: 1 hour
Type of Course: Webinar - On-Demand
Climate-related storms and fires cause a great deal of damage to roads and rural infrastructure, causing erosion, damage, delaus and social impacts, and expensive repairs. Application of "best engineering practices" and climate resilience measures can reduce or prevent a lot of damage from weather related events.
Low-volume roads and rural infrastructure suffer an increasing amount of damage today from climate-change related impacts from storms, flooding, droughts, and fires. Often damage is caused or increased by poor construction practices, lack of drainage control, over-steepened slopes, and lack of application of "best engineering practices". Additionally, damage can be reduced or avoided by specific climate resilience measures including adequate surface drainage measures, appropriately sized drainage structures, use of "stream simulation" designs, cost- effective slope stabilization techniques, hardened road surfaces, etc. Many "storm-proofing" measures are relatively easy to implement and are very cost-effective, particularly given the high cost of repairs today. General "Best Engineering Practices" and specific resiliency, climate adaptation, or vulnerability reduction measures will be presented.
