The Mitigation of Catastrophic Rockslide Ocurrence and Associated Displacement Wave; Engineering a Complex Chain Process

14

The Reinbenkan rock slope, located in Northern Norway, is unstable and currently displacing into the waters of the Fjord below it. The failure of this slope would result in a large displacement wave that has the potential to inundate a population of 2500 people in the community of Honningsvåg with 13m of water. Slide DM will design and implement a sophisticated Early Warning System (EWS) that leverages current advances in remote sensing technology to monitor the rock slope and ultimately anticipate its catastrophic failure.

Etobicoke Creek: Restoration and Rehabilitation

15

The Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) manages five erosion control structures in the headwaters of the Etobicoke Creek, located in Brampton, Ontario. These structures were built in 1984 and have degraded to the point of requiring replacement. strEAMS Inc. is working with the TRCA to develop an erosion control plan that focuses on discouraging erosion and protecting nearby critical infrastructure, including a sanitary sewer and the Etobicoke Creek Trail. To accomplish this, the proposed design will use in-stream mechanics, such as riffle-pool sequences.

Optimization on the Stormwater Management System of the University of Waterloo South Campus

16

Over the past 63 years, the stormwater management system on the University of Waterloo (UW)’s South Campus has only experienced some maintenance and minor updates. The current stormwater management (SWM) system cannot carry the heavy-load precipitation. Most surface runoffs of the campus are directly discharged into the Laurel Creek, which has significantly impacted water quality downstream. Therefore, an integrated and efficient SWM system is imperative for the UW’s South Campus to improve the discharge water quality and mitigate the surface runoff.

ZARA Energy Corporation:

Expanding Renewable Energy Production to the City of Kingston

17

The project team is interested in introducing and applying renewable energy broadly across Canada and have selected the City of Kingston as the project site. The City needs help reducing their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and meeting increased energy demands. The project involves first conducting background research into the City’s GHG emissions, identifying feasible renewable energy projects, and conducting a design alternative review to determine the most suitable project to implement. A detailed design of the chosen project will then be conducted.
