City of Laurel, MD Implementing QR Code Storm Drain Markers and Stormwater Inlet Filters
Guest User
The City of Laurel, MD Public Works Department is implementing SOP Technologies’ Stormwater Filters and QR Code Storm Drain Markers city-wide. At the time of the video below (video by the City of Laurel), the city has had over 100 filters installed for over a year in various areas of the city.
This infrastructure improvement project is helping the city to keep debris and litter out of local rivers and Chesapeake Bay. For this project, SOP Technologies conducted 3D scans and measurements of existing infrastructure, technical designs and custom manufacturing in order to retrofit to existing storm drains and catch basins. Also, the website for the QR Code Storm Drain Markers has been upgraded with an online map for maintenance personnel to keep track of community reports and activities.
In the video below, the Public Works Department and Mayor are explaining how these stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) are helping the city to prevent floods, prevent stormwater pollution, improve storm drain maintenance, and enhance community engagement.
