This will help preserve the Blackmud Creek and its ecosystem for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>Associated Engineering was awarded the project to assess and prioritize erosion sites and then propose repairs, which combined traditional and non-traditional methodologies.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Feasibility Study, Associated Engineering developed a comprehensive system to rank erosion sites based on channel stability, riparian health, and local priorities such as proximity to existing infrastructure. The objective of the Feasibility Study was to identify sites that may pose a risk to existing infrastructure and sites that could benefit from restoration to prevent increasing deterioration.<\/p>\n<p>The ranking metrics were developed by the Associated Environmental team in consultation with geotechnical engineer Thurber Engineering Ltd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"pi__right\">\r\n                    <div class=\"pi__right-map\">\r\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.ca\/wp-content\/themes\/ae\/images\/maps\/Alberta.png\" src=\"\" alt=\"Map Image\">\r\n                        \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n                \r\n        <div class=\"pi__right-specs\">\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n  \r\n<div id=\"spacer-medium-block_f6cf0b92b01be7d4437375f46b99f4dd\" class=\"spacer-medium  acf-block\" >\r\n    \r\n    \r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n \r\n  \r\n<div id=\"pHighlights-block_f0e7801742091a883e9c7465e6914cb7\" class=\"pHighlights  acf-block\" >\r\n\r\n    \r\n    <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/swiper@9\/swiper-bundle.min.css\" \/>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"pHighlights__blueSection\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.ca\/wp-content\/themes\/ae\/images\/blue_section.png\" src=\"\" alt=\"Blue Section\">\r\n    <\/div> \r\n    <div class=\"pHighlights__blue\">   \r\n        <h4 class=\"pHighlights__name\">Project Highlights<\/h4>\r\n          \r\n        <div class=\"pHighlights__gallery swiper highlightsSwiper\">          \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"pHighlights__gallery-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\r\n                                        <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"pHighlights__gallery-image\">\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/blackmud-creek-04.jpg\" src=\"\" alt=\"Project Gallery Image\">\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                           \r\n                            \r\n                            <p class=\"pHighlights__gallery-caption\"><\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"pHighlights__gallery-image\">\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/blackmud-creek-03.jpg\" src=\"\" alt=\"Project Gallery Image\">\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                           \r\n                            \r\n                            <p class=\"pHighlights__gallery-caption\"><\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"pHighlights__gallery-image\">\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/blackmud-creek-02.jpg\" src=\"\" alt=\"Project Gallery Image\">\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                           \r\n                            \r\n                            <p class=\"pHighlights__gallery-caption\"><\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                            <div class=\"swiper-slide\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"pHighlights__gallery-image\">\r\n                                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/blackmud-creek-01.jpg\" src=\"\" alt=\"Project Gallery Image\">\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                           \r\n                            \r\n                            <p class=\"pHighlights__gallery-caption\"><\/p>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n                                <\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\r\n            <div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        \r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \r\n        <div class=\"pHighlights__text\">\r\n        <p>During the conceptual design phase, risk and benefits of a purely bioengineering approach to rehabilitation versus a biotechnical approach that combines both hard and soft engineering were discussed with the City project team. During these discussions, it was decided that both approaches should be examined in order to determine the feasibility and applicability to Blackmud Creek.<\/p>\n<p>In the final analysis, it was demonstrated that the\u00a0<strong>bioengineering<\/strong>\u00a0options identified are suitable to address erosion and bank stabilization issues at all selected sites. Bioengineering uses live plantings to stabilize stream banks and improve riparian resiliency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Climate change makes riparian forests more important than ever.<\/li>\n<li>Watershed components that increase resilience often correlate with practices that improve the ecosystem health of a watershed.<\/li>\n<li>Cost effectiveness allows improvement to riparian health over large areas instead of focusing high cost projects on small sites.<\/li>\n<li>Benefits include biodiversity support, carbon sequestration, providing buffers, reducing landscape synchrony (by maintaining a mix of successional stages), realigning disrupted conditions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n    <\/div>\r\n       \r\n    \r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<script
