MOTI Texada Drainage Report (2024)
Parsons was retained by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) of British Columbia to undertake engineering services for a drainage study on Texada Island. The purpose of the study was to assess the condition and vulnerability of six priority areas, which cover culvert crossings along major traveling routes.
The primary objectives of the study were as follows:
In addition to the six priority sites, major arterial roads were included as part of the field condition assessments for major culvert crossings.
This document summarizes the project background, the field assessment, hydrologic and hydraulic assessment, proposed drainage improvement recommendations and cost estimate.
No restrictions on drip irrigation.
Please contact us of you are aware of excess water usage so we can address the issue. Thanks!
