#6 Implementing the Plan
Mar 2nd, 2012 by jonnyjk
On February 19th at 9:00pm, we all arrived at the Kensington Pitch & Putt with the surveying equipment. We started at the top of the stream and Harrison orientated us on how to use the surveying station. We discussed that the best way to measure the cross section of the stream was to approximate it as a trapezoid and perform the needed measurements. For these measurements we used a measuring tape and stakes to measure from point to point. We decided on 26 crucial points to measure these cross sections. These sections were places where the stream is most irregular and where pool drop structures would likely be placed. These structures will help the sediments to settle to the bottom of the stream by slowing the flow behind the structure.
The data collected to model the stream was formatted and we made excel files and a model of the stream in AutoCAD. We are in the process of submitting a detailed report of our findings to Dr. Atwater. Below are several pictures of the team on-site implementing the project.
Hello Burnaby Stream Team,
Congratulations on taking on this new project and doing so well. I’m impressed with your ability to take on this challenging project and work through the challenges. Professor Atwater has been keeping me up-to-date on your progress. We are both impressed by your enthusiasm and hard work – excellent qualities of engineers! I’m confident that your final report will be of significant use to the client.
Best regards,
Susan Nesbit
