Courage and Sacrifice in Paradise

Today in History, July 31, 1976:

The Big Thompson Canyon Flood.

While Colorado was celebrating its Centennial, a highly unusual thunderstorm broke out high in the mountains, near the source of the Big

Thompson Canyon in northern Colorado.

The storm deluged the canyon with the equivalent of 3/4’s of the area’s annual rainfall in a matter of hours. It sent a wall of water 20 feet high racing down…

Prestressed concrete is versatile to a wide assortment of auxiliary frameworks. These incorporate pre-tensioned and post-tensioned structures, both cast set up and precast, and other prestressed elements related to regularly fortified concrete.

While there is no broad characterization for precast and prestressed concrete, it is valuable to gather certain elements and structures to clarify how prestressed and precast concrete is planned and developed.

Prestressed and precast concrete might be considered in four general classifications:

1. Standardized Elements 2. Fixed Cross Section Elements 3. Fully Engineered Elements 4. Precast Non-prestressed Elements

While there is some cover, each gathering has its own special qualities. We will discuss the standardized elements of prestressed concrete today.

The job of the engineer changes with the sort and intricacy of the auxiliary framework being built.

Undoubtedly, different engineers might be associated with some part of the plan, creation, and development of the task. When all is said in done, the plan engineer who is regularly the authorized structure proficient or engineer of record is liable for the general plan.

The extraordinary attributes of prestressed concrete regularly require the extra administrations of a forte engineer. The claim to fame engineers can either give counseling administrations to or be utilized by a precast plant or contractual worker. Strength engineers can likewise be related with post-tensioning organizations either as a worker or specialist.

In either case, the claim to fame engineer takes the idea arranged by the authorized plan proficient and gets ready last nitty gritty structure figures just as creating manufacture or development subtleties important to finish the venture.

Standardized Precast Prestressed Elements

Pretensioned concrete pillars and pieces are normally developed in reusable steel structures in a precast plant. Albeit an unobtrusive measure of custom formwork is utilized at precast plants, improved quality and diminished expenses are acknowledged just when standardized elements are utilized.

They comprise standard sections, for example, single-T and twofold T bars, box supports, hollowcore chunks, reversed T-shafts, and scaffold braces. The capital venture required to develop and prepare a precast plant incorporates the concrete blending gear, structures, focusing on beds, relieving frameworks, and truly difficult work hardware.

To acquire an arrival on this speculation, the structures and focusing on offices must be in steady use. Efficiencies underway permit the precast pieces to be manufactured on a daily schedule and regular schedule.

The cost efficiencies of this sort of creation permit designers and engineers to choose the sections for a wide number of employments and make certain of accessibility and serious expense.

Hollowcore boards, single-T, and twofold T bars are utilized as floor elements in building development. Upset T pillars bolster twofold T and hollowcore elements.

Standardized elements are innovatively joined in building structures. For instance, whole structures have been developed of twofold T sections as is examined in the business building contextual analysis. Twofold T shafts and box supports are utilized for limited ability to focus volume connected braces.

For instance, following the flood in the Big Thompson Canyon in Colorado, twofold T spans were introduced to supplant the first structures. The twofold T spans permitted a standard structure to be created and introduced in different areas in the ravine. This arrangement quickened the remaking exertion.

Sedona Hike Brins Mesa Trail

Brins Mesa Trail

Beneath the highest structure in Sedona, lies an exquisite trail that takes you up 500 feet to a mesa overlooking Wilson Mountain, Mormon Canyon and Soliders Pass. This is a great trail when town is in full season. The parking and trailhead are located in a secluded area behind uptown.

How have I missed this all these years? That’s what you’ll think within the first 71 seconds of hiking the Brins Mesa Trail. Not only because of the surrounding beauty, but also because it’s so easy to get to. For a few lucky Sedonans, one of the trailheads is right out the back door. For everyone else, it’s just a few blocks from the pink jeeps and turquoise jewelers.

Before you get started, you should know there are two established trailheads for this hike. The most accessible is the Jim Thompson Trailhead — the one that’s so close to the strip. The alternative is out on Vultee Arch Road. If your SUV has wings or extremely high clearance, that trailhead is an option. Otherwise, take the easy route. You can navigate it with a Mini Cooper, and the hike is equally impressive from either end.

From the parking lot on the Thompson side, the trail hops up and over a small embankment and immediately passes two other trails (Jordan and Cibola Pass). The intersection is well marked. Keep right for Brins Mesa, which begins as an easy walk through manzanitas and junipers. Sedona red is all around, without any signs of civilization. Even the traffic noise disappears. It’s a lovely loneliness.

The trail points north at this point, and after about five minutes, it crosses into the Red Rock-Secret Mountain Wilderness. There are certain responsibilities that come with hiking in these areas, including the principles of Leave No Trace. Please be responsible. A little farther up the trail, you’ll see what happens when you’re not.

The trail stays about the same — rocks and trees — for the next 20 minutes. That’s when the hike heads west and launches into the only significant ascent. There aren’t any switchbacks. Just a natural rock staircase that winds upward. Along the way, there are several points that invite you to stop, turn around and look around. Do so.

Ten minutes later, you’ll arrive on the mesa and see the effects of irresponsibility. The Brins Fire, which scorched 4,000 acres on and around the mesa, was ignited by an illegal, unattended campfire on June 18, 2006. Most of the trees on the mesa were lost, and their descendants won’t be back for many decades. It’s a drag. That said, the grass that moved in makes a gorgeous placeholder, especially in the morning. This time of year, that’s when you’ll want to hike Brins Mesa, and if you can time your arrival to see the sunrise from up on the mesa ... well, it’s very beautiful.

From the top, the literal high point of the hike (5,099 feet), you’ll begin a gradual descent that offers long views in every direction. You’ll see Soldier Pass to the left, and up ahead, more trees — the fire line is obvious.

At the 50-minute mark, you’ll intersect the Soldier Pass Trail and begin a steep drop. It’s short, about 100 yards, and when the trail hits the bottom, it leaves the wilderness area and enters a good-sized wash. The forest is thicker down there, and some of the trees are unexpectedly big. One of the biggest isn’t around anymore, but the stump that remains can attest to the tree’s Bunyanesque heyday.

Just beyond the big stump, the trail crosses the wash, crosses again, and crosses once more before arriving at a large, flat rock, about the size of a Whole Foods’ produce department. The trail then parallels the wash, going back and forth for most of the rest of the hike — beware of flash floods, especially during monsoon season.

A few minutes later, you’ll pass through a fence and begin the 200-yard home stretch to the the trailhead on Vultee Arch Road. You probably won’t see anyone when you get there, but if you do, it’s a good bet their SUV has extremely high clearance. Or maybe a set of wings.

Road & bridge work continues after 2013 floods

Five years after the 2013 floods killed several people, swept away neighborhoods and damaged or wiped out hundreds of miles of state highways and bridges, repairs on our roadways are nearing completion.

That 2013 storm created mudslides, rockslides, landslides and washouts and left damage in 24 counties across Colorado.

"Thirty-nine major interstate and highway roadway segments, along with numerous local agency roads, were temporarily closed due to the flood event," according to the state's flood website.  All of the impacted interstates and highways reopened, with temporary repairs, by Dec. 1, 2013. However, permanent repairs are still underway.

We checked in with three of the hardest hit counties to ask what transportation repairs are left.

Boulder County

This week, Boulder County is starting on one of the largest remaining repair projects, according to Andrew Barth, the Boulder County Transportation Communications Specialist.

Crews will be working on two sections of lower Fourmile Canyon Drive. The first section starts about a mile from Highway 119, and extends to Poorman Road. The second section is further north, between Logan Mill Road and the Salina Junction. Learn more here.

There are three other projects on Four Mile Canyon Road that are still active.

On one of them, the upper section of Four Mile Canyon Road, crews will start paving on Tuesday.

"Still need to do more work up there," Barth explained.

A bridge that was washed out in 2012 on Logan Mill Road has been rebuilt, and crews are finishing up a few things, Barth said. Paving there is scheduled for September 19.

Other projects are also underway.

Repairs in James Canyon are in the final stretch, Barth said.

"It's now in its permanent alignment, it will be a lot more resilient," Barth said.

There's also another few months of work on Wagonwheel Gap Road. Crews are finishing the paving there. Then they have work to do on signs, striping and vegetation.

In early 2019, we have one more road, Sugarloaf Road, up in Boulder Canyon, Barth said. Crews will be building new walls to shore that road up.'

"We're working on flood and regular projects now. By 2020, we hope to be back to regular projects only," Barth said. "We can't thank the public enough for their patience and understanding."

Larimer County

In Larimer County, there are three projects yet to be completed, according to road and bridge director Todd Juergens.

They are:

CR 47, about 3 miles

CR 44H, just over 9 miles

Some private access bridges in Big Thompson Canyon

Juergens said the bridges are under construction, but are not complete.

"It's been a long haul for sure," Juergens said.

While U.S. 34 in Big Thompson Canyon was a CDOT project, and not a Larimer County project, it finally reopened this summer after several long closures for repair work. Read more here.

Weld County

Weld County had more than 654 miles of roads impacted by the 2013 floods.

"At one point, every north/south road from I-25 to east of Kersey was closed in Weld County due to the flooding," according to Weld County Communications Director Jennifer Finch.

Finch explained that the floods happened during harvest season, so the county worked hard to get the north/south routes reopened with temporary repairs as quickly possible so farmers could get their produce where it needed to go.

Now, five years later, Weld County Transportation Deputy Director Elizabeth Relford said two projects remain -- improvements at CR 87 and a final bridge project at CR 53, just north of Kersey.

"The CR 53 bridge is a very big project, that probably won’t finish until the beginning of next year," Relford said.

The CR 87 project could be done next month.

Relford said being near completion is very exciting for those who have been involved in the repairs since the beginning.

Community connected to the world by U.S. 34 celebrates the road’s reopening years in the making after 2013 floods

LOVELAND — It has been months of mangled personal schedules, seasons of lost business, hours of counting cement trucks grinding their way through the canyon and, at least early on, disruptive night work muted by drawn shades and ear plugs.

But the painstaking process of reconstructing U.S. 34 through the Big Thompson Canyon, made necessary by the massive and devastating 2013 flood, will finally…

gonna write a crackfic where after mary springs them from supermax in granby she tries to take them over trail ridge but she cant bc its january and the road is closed.

so after they illegally tresspass on unplowed roads on cliffsides at 12,000 feet they try to go on US 34 down the big thompson canyon but they cant bc there was a big flood that took out the road for years and it wasnt fixed until after the episode came out

so they just chill at the stanley and eat saltwater taffy until the bmol come get them by like helicopter or some shit who cares

Heroism and Sacrifice

The date is off for today’s post. My extended family is mourning the loss of yet another first responder in Colorado. So my mind went back to some other Colorado heroes who affected me and so many others years ago. I had to share it in their memory and in the honor of my Colorado LE family. Today in History, July 31: 1976 – The Big Thompson Canyon Flood. While Colorado was celebrating its…

[kootenaygoon]

So,

Braden could tell we were afraid.

It was early afternoon and we were standing in the scrub grass, on a cliff face jutting over the Nicola River, while our guide school instructor pointed out an ominous series of waves a hundred feet below. We’d been down the river multiple times before, but over the course of the previous few days the current had jumped from around 6,000 cubic feet per second to nearly 11,000.

“See that one, there? We might be able to make it,” he said, motioning to a jagged whitecap in the middle. “But we might not.”

Braden had a glint of mischief in his eyes. He’s the son of Bernie Fandrich, the founder of Kumsheen Raft Resort, so he’s been doing this since he was a kid. During our first nine days of the course he’d never once lost his composure while we navigated riverscapes I found chaotic and terrifying. And as he smiled, I felt a tightened fist of dread in my stomach. 

This one’s going to eat us.

By this point there was a whole variety of lessons I’d learned from Braden, and one of them was this: if something looks big from above, then at river level it will look absolutely enormous. I was feeling tired and a little discouraged as our exam loomed, and as I looked down at that wave I knew the potential consequences, and I didn’t know if I was ready for them.

I wasn’t the only one.

“Okay, hold on a second, guys,” Braden told us, a few lazy river-bends into our run. We’d been bouncing from bank to bank, paddling manic and making rookie mistakes. There were four students on the boat, and all of us were acting stressed. 

“There’s something I’ve learned with rafting, and I guess it’s the same with other extreme sports but it’s especially true of being on the river — when things get scary or overwhelming, it really gives you an opportunity to either let that fear make you weak, or let it make you stronger.”

He held his paddle in his lap, calmly sitting there in his dry suit while we caught our breath. “I guess what I’m saying is, choose to let it make you stronger.”

I repeated that to myself as we continued, as I dug my paddle into water that had transitioned from milky coffee to dark chocolate. Apparently towns were flooding all over B.C., and we’d heard the Nicola had washed out the road a few kilometres above our put-in. This was Mother Nature we were fucking with, and I was determined to stab a trident into her heart.

“All forward!” Kurtis yelled from the back, acting as the guide as Braden observed. I was leaning as far as I could out of the boat on the front-right, opposite from Andreas and just in front of Matthew. We’d gone through a few waves, reaching over the top of the waves before wrenching them behind us.

Then there it was. 

Thinking back now, that whitecap kind of reminds me of the homicidal piano from Mario 64, the one that jumps awake chomping when you get near it. It was oddly geometrical, almost perfectly square, with the frothy mouth of a ravenous dog. I figure it was three times the width of our boat, and there was no way I’d be able to reach the top with my paddle. Instead, the goal was to kick in its teeth with our momentum.

“All forward! All forward!”

What happened next wasn’t Kurtis’ fault. It wasn’t anybody’s fault. Both Andreas and I had stabbed our paddles into the wave, but as the water thundered around our bodies I knew what was coming next — the flip. And flips aren’t something you control, they’re just something you survive. The boat kicked and I knocked Andreas into the water like a human bowling ball.

Then the raft was on top of me. 

I broke the surface in between the thwarts, which had just enough room for my helmeted head to bounce around. It was like a soggy grey echo chamber, and I had no idea what was going on with the other four dudes, but I did know we were nowhere near the end of the chaos. A week earlier we’d practiced swimming through rapids, and believe me, it’s not pleasant. I grabbed on to the outside line and dove under.

Oh good, I thought as I re-emerged, Braden’s got this.

Climbing on to a raft is difficult in still water, so the fact that he’d already climbed on top within a few seconds impressed me. We weren’t saved exactly — he still had to re-flip it — but things were progressing as planned. I saw Kurtis struggle up behind him, heard yelling from Matt and Andreas, and as we hurtled downstream at a 90 degree angle I took the opportunity to take a visual inventory of what was coming next. 

Wow, that one looks even bigger, I thought, right as it flipped us again. Typically that would’ve been a good thing, but the current ripped the rope from my fingers and sucked me underwater. By the time I bobbed back to the surface I was two or three boat lengths ahead of them. With nobody in the boat to throw-bag me, that meant one thing: Time to swim. 

“You can let the fear make you weak,” Braden’s voice said, in my head. “Or you can let it make you strong.”

At this point I turned my feet towards the incoming waves and got into the defensive swimming posture, sculling hard. We’d been taught to take quick sips of air in the troughs of the waves while holding our breath at the crest. I started to practice while looking for an eddy or a piece of shoreline I could swim to. The canyon walls were beautiful, but there weren’t many promising exits.

You might be swimming for a long, long time, Will, I told myself. 

How long would it take for them to catch up to me? Would I be swimming all the way down to the Thompson? The distance between us was increasing because nobody was ready to paddle yet. 

Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit.

Then I saw it: a stretch of calm water on the right, with a wide-open rocky shoreline. With my paddle gripped in one fist I front-crawled for shore, ultimately making it just as the second boat arrived with our other instructor, Elliot. He had a shit-eating grin on his face, which meant things had turned out okay with the other boat. They showed up a few seconds later, cheering.

That’s going to make a good story, I thought. 

But the river wasn’t finished with me yet. Once I caught my breath we continued on our way, switching positions periodically between the two boats. That’s the thing about guide school: it’s relentless. You have one overwhelming experience and then you directly follow it up with another one, and another one, and another one.

“It was crazy,” I told Elliot, as I tried to maintain my 45 degree angle with the oars twenty minutes later. “Braden gave us this whole speech about fear, and then right after was when we flipped. So I had his voice in my head the whole time while I was swimming.”

We chatted about that for a while as we drifted by places where the Nicola had nearly reached the road we drove in on. I navigated around a few rapids — I’d had enough for the day — and Elliot shrugged a little, disappointed, while we practiced communicating between boats and taking a more chill approach to the river. We came up with this: A day on the river is better than any night on the town.

Then that hole showed up again.

“That’s the hole you flipped on last week, remember?” Elliot asked. “Do you want to hit it again?”

The truth is he’d given me more than enough time to maneuver around it, and I also could’ve hit it properly, but he’d later say it was like Groundhog’s Day — I was struggling to turn my raft head-on to the wave, but instead I hit it sideways. The raft did a bit of a tube-stand while I got sucked off the back and landed back in the water. 

Are you serious?

I was annoyed with myself, but this time it didn’t take me long to swim to the other raft. The other guys hauled me in laughing. We were on an easy stretch, so we had a few moments to debrief while Elliot caught up — the oar boat hadn’t completely flipped over, but apparently it had done a six or seven second surf. Everyone was in an awesome mood, and my body was humming.

“We’re thinking now that hole should be called ‘Isn’t that the hole you flipped in last time?’“ said Andreas. He was always the one laughing hardest after carnage on the river. “That was hilarious.”

“You know, I was thinking I’d be honoured if from now on you guys could call it ‘The Kootenay Goon’”

Braden grinned. “No, I like the first name better.”

Eventually Elliot caught up, and right away Braden told me to jump back on the oars. That’s the thing about his leadership style — when you screw up, he gets you to do it again right away. It’s the same thing he did when I accidentally started a brush fire at the resort using a flame thrower to kill weeds. Even though the fire came dangerously close to some cabin tents and a row of buses, as soon as we had it extinguished he sent me right back to finish the job.

“This is just like that time with the fucking flame thrower,” I said.

Braden just smiled.
