Event: Training on Planning and Design of Smart Linear Infrastructure for Biodiversity Protection Bioengineering: Soils, Slope Stabilization and Hydrology in Linear Infrastructure 25 April 2022 Author / Speaker Gordon Keller View File The design and planning for linear infrastructure should consider the unique characteristics of each location /landscape. For example, specific bioengineering techniques will require the selection of species appropriate for each soil type. With the increasing challenges from climate change, infrastructure should be resilient against extreme flow events, increased rainfall intensities, and climate variability. Two of the most effective methods are soil bioengineering and biotechnical slope stabilization. Likewise, good vegetative management and drainage design can help wildlife and facilitate wildlife movement/connectivity. Moreover, adequate size is critical in drainage structures to both pass flood waters and debris/sediment while allowing safe passage of a wide variety of wildlife or target species.
