Welcome to the INDOT Office of Hydraulics Workshop. I am James Boehm, and presenting with me today is Meagan Froman. We thank you for taking the time be here. Today we will be giving guidance on how to correctly complete the new small structure memorandum template.
"Explore the new INDOT Small Structures Memorandum Template designed to bring uniformity, reduce errors, and enhance clarity in hydraulic memos. The template provides guidance on various aspects such as site parameters, culvert properties, riprap design, and more, to streamline the submission process and ensure accuracy in small structure projects."
