Vertex Construction of San Antonio, TX, has been awarded the contract to install a StormX Weir Wall Trash Trap in Riverside Creek, marking a significant step in the ongoing effort to maintain the city's waterways. This project involves the intricate process of keying into the existing concrete-lined channel and casting concrete piers, which will securely anchor the 30-inch StormX units. These units are specifically designed to intercept and capture trash before it can flow downstream, ensuring that Riverside Creek remains clean and ecologically healthy.
Building on this momentum, a second project is slated for next month, also awarded to Vertex Construction, which will see the installation of a large Bandalong Litter Trap in Alazan Creek. The Bandalong Litter Trap is another advanced solution designed to tackle the persistent problem of waterborne trash, further demonstrating San Antonio's commitment to environmental stewardship.
The San Antonio River Authority, known for its leadership in watershed innovation, continues to invest considerable resources in preserving the creeks and the San Antonio River. Their ongoing efforts to keep these waterways free of trash not only benefit the local environment but also set a standard for other municipalities to follow. The Authority's dedication to sustainability is evident in their choice of cutting-edge technologies like the StormX Netting Trash Traps and Bandalong Litter Traps.
HDR Engineers, serving as the consulting engineer on the Riverside Creek project, brought their extensive expertise to the table,ensuring that the installation met the highest standards of quality and effectiveness.
Storm Water Systems is proud to have its StormX Netting Trash Traps selected for this important project. These traps are a testament to our commitment to innovation and environmental protection. The collaboration between local contractors, engineers, and the San Antonio River Authority highlights a shared dedication to keeping our waterways clean, and we are honored to contribute to this crucial mission.
