TENTANG EPISODE INI
Todd Danielson, Informed Infrastructure’s editorial director, interviewed Robert Page, P.E., Vice President, HNTB, about stormwater techniques known as low-impact development (LID) or “green infrastructure.”
Page helped design a new and modernized stormwater system for the Norwaldo neighborhood in northeast Indianapolis. As impermeable development increased in the area and storms became more frequent and released more water, water began to pond in low points on the streets and surrounding land, leading to erosion and freeze/thaw cycles that rutted the streets, cracked the sidewalks and could pool in yards for weeks at a time.
HNTB worked with the Indianapolis Department of Public Works to install permeable pavers, stone and geotextile that allowed water to slowly drain into the soil.
