.jpg "0359_09site (small).jpg") This project included the design of two detention facilities, site utilities (water, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer) including a mound septic system, site grading, pavement design and parking design for the new fire station facility and the adjacent Grove Field (Airport) parking lot. Storm drainage is discharged from a wet pond on the fire station site through a storm sewer on the adjacent airport site. The airport parking lot has a separate detention pond preceded by a water quality swale, which discharges through the common storm sewer through the airport property. The high water table and flat site made the stormwater facilities challenging to design. Pavement for the fire station included high load pavement in areas where the fire trucks would normally drive, and thinner sections where they would not drive over to save on construction costs.

.jpg "aerial2 (small).jpg") The Fairview Post Office was sited and graded to fit on a small lot. A NW Engineers principal, while employed by others, worked with the architect and contractor to site the building, the parking lot, and drive aisles. Loading docks were designed as required by the post office to ensure proper drainage away from the building while still allowing ADA access to the main entrance of the building on a very flat site. Site utilities were also provided to the building. (Staff experience)

.jpg "aerial-drop-shadow (small).jpg") Transit-oriented 15-unit, HUD financed group care facility on a 1/3 acre site adjacent to a MAX Light Rail Station at 1250 E Main Street, Hillsboro, Oregon. The building was designed by Partin and Hill Architects. Project designed for nonprofit agency which operates special-needs housing developments. It involved planning services for transit-oriented design including variances for setbacks and reduced parking standards. Engineer services for site improvements including parking and drainage. Special coordination with Hillsboro, Tri-Met and HUD was necessary to accomplish this pedestrian-oriented project.

.jpg "aerial (small).jpg") This project included an 8,070 sq. ft. daycare building on a 2.06-acre site located at southwest corner of NE Elam Young Parkway and NE Orenco Gardens Drive, Hillsboro, Oregon. The building was designed by Studio Parati Architects. The daycare building was Phase I of a two phase project within the Station Community Planning Area adjacent to the MAX Light Rail. The second phase (future) will be a two-story office building. Project involved environmental, planning and engineering services for transit-oriented design adjacent to a significant natural area and a master plan for a two phase development required to meet minimum FAR ratios.

.jpg "aerial-1 (small).jpg") Stoneybrook Assisted Living Facility is a 6-story building that includes an Alzheimer’s floor and outdoor garden patio. The facility has approximately 190 rooms with cafeteria and health offices incorporated with the building to provide onsite health services. A NW Engineers principal, while employed by others, worked with the architect and contractor to site the building and the hardscape improvements. Visitor and Staff parking was provided. Outdoor walking paths and gardens were an integral part of the design for the residents to be able to enjoy the outdoors. All paths and sidewalks were made ADA accessible for the expected high wheel chair use. Grading efforts were one of the more challenging aspects of the project. The grounds had sensitive land areas and the building footprint was sited to avoid the nearby flood plain. (Staff experience)

.jpg "aerial-1 (small).jpg") This project included a 50,000 sq. ft. church and 300-student K-12 school a 13-acre site located at 5585 SW 209th Avenue, Hillsboro, Oregon. The building was designed by Taylor-Gregory Architects in two phases. Project involved planning services including an Urban Growth Boundary Adjustment, a Plan Amendment, a Special Use and Development Review applications to Metro and Washington County. Engineering services included on-site parking lot design and drainage/water quality design. Grading and drainage design for a running tract was also prepared. Off-site improvements included full street arterial design with turn lanes. Special coordination with regional and local governments was necessary for this project.

.jpg "aerial (small).jpg") This project included the phased campus master plan, planning application and preliminary engineering. The first phase included an additional 15,000sf multipurpose double storey building, extensions to the existing school and reconfiguration of the existing parking lot. The second phase included an additional 100 parking bays and baseball field. The third phase included the extension of the existing sanctuary. The flat site made it changeling to manage stormwater and sanitary utilities.

.jpg "market-devlopment_assist3-- (small).jpg") Managed overall budget of $1.8 million, managed consultant contracts including engineer, surveyor, geotech, structural, jurisdictions (Beaverton, Washington County, CWS, Raleigh water, DSL, Army Corps), OES facility manager, wetland scientists, and arborists. Negotiated with Fire Marshal, Beaverton Schools, various members of the OES community and OES School Board members. Managed construction and made recommendations, monitored costs and changes. Project remains on budget with very little work left.
