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.

莱斯布里奇学院希望与Enviro Span Modular Culvert Systems和莱斯布里奇市合作， 测试一种名为Enviro Span模块化涵洞系统（ESMCS）的新产品对环境的影响。 在加拿大发明的ESMCS代表了结构和环境流的新范式 穿越技术ESMCS采用了旧的波纹技术，镀锌钢，开底 拱涵，并结合新材料技术和先进的设计进行大修。这 组合允许流交叉结构以类似于智能的方式适应于随时间变化 材料技术它还允许ESMCS以最小的环境干扰安装， 退化这一点意义重大，因为私营部门的资源开采有着明显的需求 行业以及联邦和省政府的明确跨度，环保，拱 保护加拿大各地的渔业和其他敏感生态系统。 在这个项目中，莱斯布里奇学院将调查ESMCS对水生生态系统的影响， 在直接位于莱斯布里奇市的六英里古力溪上安装ESMCS 莱斯布里奇学院后面ESMCS将作为莱斯布里奇市的永久性河流过境点， 公共远足步道系统，并作为一个正在进行的水生测试和莱斯布里奇学院培训网站。的 这一初步项目的结果将有利于环境跨度谁将利用研究来改善和发展 产品在加拿大各地广泛应用。资源开采行业，如林业，石油和天然气， 采矿业将受益于一个负担得起的，环保的河流穿越，是持久的， 寿命长，并且如果需要，可恢复和可重复使用。
