Portland International Jetport – South Portland, Maine:
Assisted with site planning, landscape and irrigation design for a 140,000 s.f. commercial office building. Designs led to a jogging trail through the natural areas of the site, extensive buffering against residential abutters, and the creation of several outdoor spaces.
Multiple outdoor plazas and pocket parks, both formal and natural, are defined by stone walls, landscaping, granite pavers and site furnishings. These elements were linked to earlier phases of development by change in pavement type, texture or color, including pavement stamping and stone dust jogging trail. The extensive landscaping was designed in accordance with design guidelines and municipal ordinances.
Black Nubble Wind Farm – Redington, Maine:
Civil design and permitting support for a 100 million dollar wind farm in LURC territory. This controversial project required close coordination with our client’s legal counsel and large corporate funding partner. Several site visits into remote areas were required to complete the civil design for access roads and turbine sites. Preparation of the final design plans required close coordination with the project’s design-build team including: environmental resource, soils, visual, transmission line, structural and geotechnical consultants. The final design also benefited from site walks with the design builder and earthwork contractor. Mr. Anderson was the lead civil engineer on this project and provided engineering testimony in support of the project at LURC hearings in 2006 and 2007.
Martion's Point Health Care – Portland, Maine:
Civil design and permitting for a 42,000 square foot health care building and connected 2-level parking garage. The project involved careful planning and design consideration to preserve the historic values of the existing Marine Hospital building, to provide separate access drives to each of the two levels of the parking garage, and to provide safe pedestrian access routes and drop-off zones. The design required phasing for building demolition and consideration of and connection to existing on-site water, sewer, electric and communication utilities. Permitting efforts for the project involved the City of Portland Planning and Historic Boards and the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.
Boy Scouts of America Headquarters Building – Portland, Maine:
Design and permitting for the construction of an 11,800 square foot Headquarters building and associated site improvements located in existing wetlands between airport and MTA property on the border between the City of Portland and South Portland. The project includes sewer force main and effluent pump analysis and stormwater analysis. The overall project included disturbance of nearly one acre of wetland to construct the 11,800 square foot building, paved access drive and 50-space parking area.
Oak Ridge Subdivision – Portland, Maine:
Design and permitting services for an eighteen-lot subdivision off Plymouth Street in Portland, Maine. The project design included formal stormwater controls for both water quantity and quality including hydrologic modeling, sanitary sewer design, water system design and street design. This project required special consideration to minimize impacts to abutting neighbors to the front of the site and railroad tracks to the back of the site.
UNUM’s Centralized Mechanical Project – Portland, Maine:
Design and construction of a centralized mechanical piping connection between Home Office 1 and Home Office 2 to provide heating between the buildings. The site required extensive geophysical utility survey and test pitting to determine rock elevations and utility locations to be considered in planning the route between the buildings. The project cost was on the order of $750,000.
