A guide to designing at-grade, culvert and bridge crossings for animals and agricultural vehicles in NY.
What you'll learn:
What you'll learn:
- You will be able to design culvert and at-grade stream crossings
- You will have a thorough understanding of how stream crossings impact water quality
- You will understand how hydrology, hydraulics, and stream geomorphology affect stream crossing design
We'll be looking at the 3 types of stream crossings: at grade (fords), culverts, and bridges. Each type has trade-offs in price, design complexity, pollution prevention, wildlife impact, and stream morphology impact. We'll cover the pros and cons you should consider during the design process so you can make good decisions when crossing streams on your farm projects.
