Project Description The Hamlet of Cadomin is located along side the McLeod River. In order to protect Cadomin from erosion and flooding, two dikes have been built. Samide Engineering Ltd. was retained to determine the adequacy of these dikes in terms of providing flood protection and in terms of erosion protection requirements. Samide Engineering Ltd. determined that the dikes were high enough to prevent the 100-year flood from overtopping them however there were areas where they needed to be rebuilt and protected from erosion. To this end the project involved: Reshaping the existing dikes and filling in areas of the dikes where erosion had occurred. Placing approximately 3000 m3 of Class III riprap along 210 m of dike. Services Provided by Sameng Inc. : Obtaining survey information on the McLeod River Flood Plain and River. Determined flood discharges and then doing backwater curve analysis to determine flood elevations and flow velocities Determined maximum bed shear forces and maximum scour depths. Determine height requirements for dikes and dimensions required. Design erosion protection. Prepared a report re dike assessment and bank erosion protection outlining all of our investigations and designs (report was used as the basis for applying for cost sharing with Alberta Environment and for license application under the Water Resources Act). Replying to concerns raised as a result of advertising the project. Finalize designs for construction. Construction surveys and project management. Key Consultant Staff Gerald Samide, P. Eng. Company Technician. Company’s survey crew. Start-up and Completion Date Work started and completed in September of 1992. ________________________________________________________ Driftpile First Nation Flood Reduction Project Location - The project was constructed within the Driftpile First Nation Reserve located on the south shores of the Lesser Slave Lake. Project Description The Driftpile First Nation Reserve was experiencing flooding from the Driftpile River approximately once every 3 years on the average. The flooding was causing significant financial losses as well as disruptions to the daily lives of the residents. To this end Samide Engineering Ltd. (Now renamed Sameng inc) was retained in June 1995 to do an engineering design study to alleviate the frequency and severity of the flooding. Samide Engineering Ltd came up with a solution for this project that resulted in the savings of several million dollars over other works that had been proposed over the years. This study: Determined the flooding processes. Assessed flood discharges. Computed flood levels for various flood reduction alternatives. Dealt with the Environmental concerns in an Environmental Impact assessment. Developed in detail a flood reduction alternative that consisted of dyking (16 km) along the main river channel with an overland floodwater bypass zone. Services Provided by Consultant Preconstruction surveys required for design. Do soil sampling and soil tests for dike embankment fill borrow areas. Design local drainage improvements (including culverts with flap gates and/or manual control gates). Design dykes and bypass zone. This activity would involve inputting the survey data and running backwater curve computer modeling to calculate new water levels. Preparing design reports and drawings for federal government and for Alberta Water Resource Licensing application. Preparing an Environmental Assessment of the Proposed Flood Damage Reduction Project. Public relations with Public, CNR, Provincial Government, Federal Government and Driftpile Band. Replying to concerns raised as a result of advertising the project. Preparing tender package. Construction surveys and project management. Progress payments. Key Consultant Staff Gerald Samide, P. Eng. Company Technician. Company’s survey crew.
