Annual Report 2008 - (Page 34) WYEVALE GARDEN CENTER CARDIFF, WALES RGP wanted to create a new generation of garden centers where the development as a whole was designed to respect its neighbors, its setting, and its users. The result was a design that adhered to the principles of sustainability at all levels. Cut and fill were balanced as 2008 BE Award Nominee RGP Architects Wyevale Garden Center United Kingdom far as possible within the site, and the re-use of water and of renewable energy sources was maximized. The buildings were designed so that integrated renewable passive energy systems and natural light serve to minimize energy consumption and associated CO2 emissions. MicroStation models were used extensively to illustrate the sustainable options to the residents in the area. LEE TUNNEL LONDON, ENGLAND London’s sewers are one of the great engineering wonders of the Victorian age and were designed to carry both rainwater and sewage. When capacity is reached during heavy rain, the excess diluted sewage overflows into the tidal River Thames. These discharges affect aquatic 2008 BE Award Nominee Faber Maunsell Lee Tunnel United Kingdom wildlife by decreasing oxygen in the water, and cause health risks by increasing levels of bacteria. The Lee Tunnel is the first phase of a solution that will eradicate 50% of the volume of problem flows by intercepting discharge into the River Lee. The pumping station, tunnels, and adjoining shaft were designed with MicroStation and MX. ROUND BUTTE DAM PORTLAND, OREGON Protection of native fish in west coast rivers and lakes has required modifications of existing water intakes at major hydroelectric projects to comply with regulatory requirements.The project at Round Butte required a one-of-a-kind Selective Water Withdrawal (SWW) system 2008 BE Award Nominee CH2M HILL Round Butte Dam U.S.A. to avert jeopardy to migrating fish. Bentley’s MicroStation-based applications helped the team save thousands of hours in understanding issues, solving conflicts, and designing the solutions. 35
