As part of our Scajaquada Creek and Smart Sewer project we have dug up a pipe at East Amherst and Bailey that at first appears to be wooden. But what we found was that the pipe is actually concrete, but the original workers tunneled through clay and used two layers of wooden shoring to keep the tunnel from collapsing and then used that to form the new pipe.
Last week, Buffalo Sewer along with our partners from Xylem hosted Tomas Petur Sigursteinsson, Thorsteinn Halfdanarson, and Hladver Stefan Thorgeirsson, from Veitur, the primary wastewater, water, and energy utility of Reykjavik and southwestern Iceland. We discussed Best Management Practices and exchanged ideas about the Smart Sewer System that we have been installing throughout the City of Buffalo over the last several years. Smart Sewer Systems manage storm water during rain or snow melt events to maximize the use of our inline storage capacity to minimize the frequency and volume of Combined Sewer Overflow events.
Today our summer interns Fay’Niqua and Yaikalee gave their final presentations on what they learned here during their time with BSA. They spoke about GIS, MS4 and the highlight’s of their weekly field trips. At the end, the audience of BSA employees admitted that they learned things from the presentation. Overall, It was an absolute pleasure having these young scholars intern with us and we wish them the best in their future endeavors. https://lnkd.in/e6Hy5uFF (https://lnkd.in/e6Hy5uFF) https://lnkd.in/e2uAH8SK (https://lnkd.in/e2uAH8SK)
