UBC Agricultural Road Walkway Project – Week One
Jan 19th, 2012 by irisfeng
The Agricultural Road Walkway Project is about evaluating the hydrotechnical site at Agricultural Road, University of British Columbia by using the Sustainable Sites Initiative Criteria. The project started on January 16, 2012, and will be finished by February 27, 2012. The hydrotechnical system assessment and plan of improvement about the Agricultural Road Walkway will be provided to UBC Planning at the end of the project.
Agricultural Road Walkway Site Plan
Our team will start the project by investigating the hydrotechnical performance of the Agricultural Road Walkway, including landscape irrigation system, planting plan, stormwater management, and construction material for controlling pollutants. After site investigation, we will discuss the sustainability of the Agricultural Road Walkway based on the Sustainable Sites Initiative Rating System and develop a remediation plan for the site. The remediation plan will focus on protecting water resources, enhancing water quality, minimizing stormwater pollutants, and developing sustainable site maintenance and stormwater treatment plan. Throughout the next five weeks, a weekly activities summary of the project’s development will be updated until the completion of the project.
Site Visit on January 19, 2012
The project team consists of six 2nd year civil engineering students, Muhammad Salman Arshad, Ming Jin, Ron Qiu, Jeremy Lee, Terence Tsang, and Iris Feng.
Muhammad Salman Arshad is the leader of the team. He will plan the schedule and manage the process of the project to make sure the project will be accomplished on time.
Ming Jin is the client liaison. He will contact the client, Dean Gregory, inquiring further information of site design details and reporting the progress of the project.
Ron Qiu is the mentor liaison. He will contact the mentor, Fatehjit Singh, a graduate student in mechanical engineering, seeking further technical assistance for the project and scheduling necessary meetings with the mentor.
Jeremy Lee is the secretary. He will record all the decisions made and plans determined during the team meetings and organize the meeting agenda for keeping record of the project.
Terence Tsang is the document collector. He will organize all the documents and drawings our team produce during the project and assemble them into a report at the end.
