marioandsonic Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The remnants of Ida are supposed to reach my area on Wednesday. We're forecasted to get a good few inches of rain here, as the remnants are forecasted to mix with a frontal system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 The main concern now is the extreme heat in the aftermath of a storm that has effectively knocked out electricity for a large portion, if not most, of the state. The heat indices are going to be over 105F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Netherlands were smart, they'd start exporting their engineers to all the coastal cities in the world, they've been fighting a war against the sea for centuries.

Every coastal city should have its Dutch engineer, they'd be like the court vizier. Most cities just don't prioritize some infrastructure spending though. And I don't mean the actual construction costs for projects--I mean the actual studies or design proposals just never get explored beyond "it's going to flood X amount. You should do something about that!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out at $1.5 billion for 10 years. Now we're at 12 years and it's closer to $2 bln. Depending on the city and the extents of the sewer overflows... that sounds about right!

This client I work for is doing this under a consent decree from the EPA... so they HAVE to. That seems crazy. Portland conducted a massive overhaul to the drainage system including two massive pipes, one of which is 6 miles long and 22 feet in diameter that runs under the east side of the city, another that's 3.5 miles long and 14 feet wide under the west side of the city. They join together and run to the north of the city to a new pump station that feeds the main treatment plant, which also got overhauled. The total cost of that, everything included, was 1.4 billion. It did take 20 years, but hey ho. Almost no sewage got put dumped into the rivers last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
