I'm super busy and glad to be though I wish I could have pushed this job to April at least the weather gods are smiling on me today Cause hydroseeding in the rain sucks!

01/11/2022

75 to 150mm rainfall next 24 hours in Lower Mainland. 3 to 6 times the Severe Rainfall Event amount of 25mm.

11/16/2021

So all Highways out of Lower Mainland closed with no known date of reopening....

Coquihalla #5 has multiple issues one being a section of all 4 lanes of a bridge.... GONE. Weeks or months to open?

Fraser Canyon #1 Tankhill where the highway does that nifty little 90° chicane under the train tracks.... GONE. both the highway and tracks. Weeks or months to open?

Anyone have pics of damage of Manning Park highway #3 at Sunshine Village?

How about highway #99 at Lilloeet? Mudslide?

Sounds like everyone cleared that were stranded but took almost 24 hours, overnight in their cars, many now stuck in Hope, no power, no gas.

The power of water..... 137.5mm yesterday and 73.1 today. Over 5x and 1.9mm away from 3 times SRE's right there! If you include the 26mm from Saturday thats the average November monthly rainfall for Abbey in 3 days.

So my weather station with advanced raingauge recorded 137.5mm yesterday and 48.9mm so fsr today!!!

So that means we have had a Significant Rainfall Event X5 !!!! yesterday and already 2x SRE today!

You need some ESC control... ya your too late!

Pictured is a concrete block retaining wall that is normally dry from field to parking lot, TWO BLOCKS HIGH!

When you just gotta finish the job..... you improvise with a field repair. The exhaust of the T300 is a perfect heat gun for assembling a new hose from pump to hose reel!

Little late season Hydroseeding, this was an Arch dig.... they found 1000s of rotary phones and some switch boards, they were looking for grave stones.
Also it took 3 Engineers to review this hydroseeding lol.

12/13/2018

70-90mm rainfall warming.... some areas already seen 50mm overnight with rainfall rates up to 6.5mm/hr.

That's three times an SRE my friends!

12/12/2018

A Significant Rainfall Event has occured... no doubt.

4 years ago today I was providing Scope of Experience for Seven Generations Environmental, hydroseeding on the ILMT Line. We had to use two trucks Dalton Highway style to haul the hydroseeder up some of the grades. Awesome work!
