If this is a course you plan on taking "later," this is the time! It is highly likely that we will not be offering this course again.
Okay, we all know that water flows from high places to low places. We also know that it travels by the path of least resistance. Now what?
You just got that design project on the sloped site. You know you'll need some steps. But how many? How big?
Grading can a tough thing to get your head around. In this course we'll take it down to its very basics. We'll explore how to read a grading plan and how to create our own.
Participants will shoot grades with various instruments, from the very low tech up to state-of-the art electronics. By doing it ourselves, we understand better.
We'll translate field measurements into plan form, take our spot elevations and interpolate contours. You have to understand what you're starting with before you can design something new.
Following are comments from last year's Grading and Drainage Workshop.
"You presentation was excellent, as was the facility and the course materials provided to us. I especially appreciate the time you took to address our individual comments and questions during the seminar. The information was presented in a manner that was very practical, so as to be implemented immediately in the field." - Scott M.
