Enviro Span Modular Culvert Systems Six Mile Coulee Creek Project

莱斯布里奇学院希望与Enviro Span模块化涵洞系统公司和莱斯布里奇市合作 测试名为Enviro Span模块化涵洞系统(ESMCS)的新产品对环境的影响。 ESMCS发明于加拿大，代表了结构和环境两个方面的新范式 穿越技术。ESMCS采用了波纹、镀锌钢、开底的旧技术 拱形涵洞，并用新材料技术和先进设计相结合进行大修。这 组合允许跨流结构以类似于SMART的方式适应随时间的变化 材料技术。它还允许在对环境影响最小的情况下安装ESMCS，以及 度数。这一点意义重大，因为私营部门的资源开采有明显的需求 行业以及联邦和省级政府的明确跨度，环境友好，拱形 保护加拿大各地的渔业和其他敏感生态系统的涵洞。 在这个项目中，莱斯布里奇学院将通过以下方式调查ESMCS对水生生态系统的影响 在直接位于莱斯布里奇市物业的6英里Coulee Creek上安装ESMCS 莱斯布里奇学院后面。ESMCS将作为莱斯布里奇市的永久溪流通道 公共徒步旅行步道系统，并作为莱斯布里奇学院正在进行的水上测试和训练场地。这个 这一初步项目的结果将使Enviro Span受益，他们将利用这项研究来改进和开发 产品在加拿大各地得到更广泛的应用。林业、石油天然气等资源开采行业， 采矿业将受益于拥有负担得起的、环保的、耐用的河流渡口， 寿命长，如果需要，可以恢复和重复使用。

Lethbridge College wishes to partner with Enviro Span Modular Culvert Systems and the City of Lethbridge to test the environmental impact of a new product called the Enviro Span Modular Culvert System (ESMCS). Invented in Canada, the ESMCS represents a new paradigm in both structural and environmental stream crossing technology. The ESMCS takes the old technology of corrugated, galvanized steel, open bottomed arch culverts, and overhauls it with a combination of new material technology and advanced design. This combination allows the stream crossing structure to adapt to change over time in a manner similar to smart material technology. It also allows the ESMCS to be installed with minimal environmental disturbance and degredation. This is significant because there is a pronounced need by private sector resource extraction industries as well as the Federal and provincial governments for clear span, environmentally friendly, arch culverts to protect fisheries and other sensitive ecosystems across Canada. In this project, Lethbridge College will investigate the impacts of the ESMCS on the aquatic ecosystem by installing an ESMCS over Six Mile Coulee Creek which is located on City of Lethbridge property directly behind Lethbridge College. The ESMCS will serve as a permanent stream crossing for the City of Lethbridge's public hiking trail system and as an ongoing aquatic testing and training site for Lethbridge College. The results of this initial project will benefit Enviro Span who will use the research to improve and develop the product for broader application throughout Canada. Resource extraction industries such as forestry, oil & gas, and mining will benefit by having an affordable, environmentally friendly stream crossing that is durable, long-lived, and if needed, recoverable and reusable.
