Forest Road Drainage Installation Practices
©2000 Flip Productions Ltd

Practical guide for practitioners, supervisors and machine operators

for water management on logging roads. 

Sound drainage structure installation practices are essential to ensure the protection of environmental values and financial investments at stream crossings. It is important to foresee limiting factors during the installation as they can influence site selection and structure design for stream crossings. In fact, the entire life cycle of a drainage structure from site selection to deactivation is very much influenced by physical limitations during the installation process.

This infoflip on drainage installation is meant to assist layout personnel in the selection of appropriate sites and types of drainage structures, and guide construction supervisors and machine operators to make sound decisions during structure installations. Further, the risk assessment procedure provides a useful tool to prepare for many unexpected situations. Structure sizing, bridge design, and detailed design of "out of the ordinary" structures are not part of this infoflip and commonly involve professional input.
