Resource Purpose |
FPInnovations will further evaluate resource roads performance in wetland conditions. Our efforts aim to:
Identify specific research questions around drainage structure performance in wetlands.
Investigate and propose practical, cost-effective solutions that provide water passage/drainage through roads traversing wetland conditions.
Conduct trial installations to evaluate the costs, operational feasibility, and short-term performance of any proposed water passage/drainage improvement alternatives; successful existing practices are to be evaluated for operational and cost-effective improvements.
Conduct long-term monitoring of site (water, vegetation) and road properties to determine the effectiveness of alternative water passage/drainage solutions. |
