Stormwater Detention Facility at the Centre for Comparative Medicine on UBC South Campus

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning; University of British Columbia. Department of Civil Engineering

Drift Consulting has been engaged by UBC Social Ecological Economic Development Studies (SEEDS) to develop a design for a multi-purpose detention facility which will address the stormwater management issues in the proximity of the UBC Centre for Comparative Medicine (CCM). The design provides 3000 m³ of water storage in a trench system alongside new and existing trails in the South Campus Region. The same trench system controls the outflow of flood water into the outfall at Booming Grounds Creek. The flow is controlled by a series of 30 dams positioned at 50 m intervals along the trenches. Furthermore, the retention time and flow velocity of trench system ensures that the water exiting the system has achieved primary water treatment standards. The trench and trail system are integrated seamlessly with the surrounding environment, as well as the built infrastructure. The new trail connects two existing trials, providing a continuous connection from the Spirit Park trail network to the Botanical Garden regional trails. This report covers a general overview of the project, the relevant regulations and standards, a detailed description of design components and detailed method for construction. A construction schedule and cost estimate are provided in addition to the design components which consists of drawings, calculations and dimensions.
