As part of a major infrastructure project at the Schoharie Reservoir in Gilboa, New York, Stiver Engineering provided a variety of services for a low-level outlet designed to release water downstream into Schoharie Creek to facilitate dam maintenance and emergency response, mitigate flood risk, and enhance downstream habitat for fish and wildlife. The work includes…
Stiver Engineering performed analysis and design work for rock anchors and HSS steel frames for a 44.5-inch diameter pipe support inside a 96-inch diameter tunnel. The supports were designed for critical load combinations generated from buoyant forces and self-weight of the pipe.
As part of a micro-tunnel project in Charlotte, North Carolina, Stiver Engineering created plans for seven tunnel boring machine runs along with launch and receiving shaft design. The plans included designs for a trench box bore pit, pile and lagging shafts at various depths and soil conditions, and a liner plate circular shaft with multiple…
