Assignee:

P4 Infrastructure, Inc. - Milwaukee WI

International Classification:

E03F 5/10
E03F 1/00
E03F 5/042

Abstract:

An active water storage infrastructure management facility that includes a stormwater BMP comprising a storage gallery for containing a volume of stormwater runoff, a drain system in fluid communication with the storage gallery, a liquid level sensor disposed in the storage gallery for measuring the volume of runoff water introduced into the storage gallery, a fluid flow sensor disposed on the drain system to measure a portion of the volume of runoff water exiting the drain system, and a real-time-control valve disposed proximate an outlet end of the drain system. The facility may also include a control system in electronic communication with the liquid level sensor, the fluid flow sensor, and the real-time-control valve. The facility may be used to control the outflow of runoff through the real-time-control valve so as to optimize the operation of the facility for a particular design capability.

Abstract:

Various embodiments of a system for monitoring drainage of a permeable pavement system are provided as well as various exemplary installation scenarios. In particular, embodiments of a permeable (or pervious) pavement management platform are disclosed herein. In embodiments, the pavement management platform provides a service that allows the user to determine vacuum maintenance needs for permeable (or pervious) pavement systems. Advantages of the platform include: subscription-based asset management platform as a service (PaaS), customized off-the-shelf water-level sensors, off-the-shelf tipping-bucket rain gauge, observation well installation consistent with industry standards, can be implemented in residential, commercial, municipal, county, and state systems, lithium-ion battery powered sensor, LoRA sensor to hub data transmission network, cellular data transmission from hub, electrical power for cellular data transmission hub (can be solar panel powered), real-time dashboarding of surface runoff storage, real-time dashboarding of ground water recharge rate, and permeability (clogging) threshold alerts, among others.

Inventors:

- Milwaukee WI, US
Christopher M. Foley - Milwaukee WI, US

International Classification:

G08G 1/095

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are embodiments of a traffic signal or sign support structure. The structure includes a vertical pole having a first end and a second end. The first end is configured to be mounted to a foundation. The structure also includes a mast arm arranged substantially horizontally relative to the vertical pole. The mast arm has a third end and a fourth end. Additionally, the structure includes a pole junction assembly configured to connect the third end of the mast arm to the second end of the pole. In particular, the mast arm and the pole are each joined to the pole junction assembly in an area of geometric continuity.
