LID in a Canadian Residential Brownfield Re-Development
The release rates from the Currie Barracks Phase 1 re-development (brownfield site into a medium density residential site) in Calgary, Alberta are required to match pre-development flows. In order achieve these release rates AMEC developed a Low Impact Design (LID) approach to stormwater management. Some of the key issues that AMEC resolved throughout this process were the impacts of the unique climate dominated by freeze-thaw events during winter months and the impacts of freezing on infiltration facilities. The LID features used on the site use natural materials to improve water quality and attenuate stormwater flows. Engineered approaches to manage the full volumes in large rain events include rooftop rainwater harvesting for irrigation and catch basins with non-clogging weirs to facilitate distributed stormwater flow attenuation. In order to support the development application and demonstrate the performance of the stormwater design, AMEC conducted modeling using MS Excel, SWMHYMO, QHM, and PCSWMM.
