Fire Station, 9-1, Vancouver WA
|
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.
