It actually takes more time to get the canoe ready for pour day than it does to pour it. Excluding the mix design (which obviously takes a lot of effort), preparing the mold is our biggest pre-pour task this year. Once we cut the rough shape from styrofoam blocks, we need to sand them into the more accurate shape, then glue most of the mold pieces together, tape the rest together, and do some final sanding.

Environmental Design Team starts designing!
Seems like we’ll have to get our hands dirty eventually, but for now, we can start our design from the classroom. First step was to determine where the wastewater should flow. Team Co-Captain Elise writes out the announcements before explaining how to determine the expected flows based on the given data for population, acreage, and land usage. From the theoretical calculations, we will construct our model to accommodate the flows proportionally.
While a few people work out the appropriate manhole locations, the t-shirt committee discusses possible ideas for the best Environmental Design T-Shirt yet!
From the archives…
Stumbled across all of these old photos on old PSWC posters when cleaning out the Canoe area in the basement. I think they’re from roughly 2008-2012.
