Convent of the Sacred Heart

This project included a multi-sport, major-game, synthetic turf athletic field and additions and improvements to a school campus including a new middle school and library, wastewater treatment plant, synthetic turf athletic field, parking lots, pre-k and kindergarten facilities. The campus is served by on-site potable water supply and wastewater disposal facilities. Site engineering services included grading; sediment and erosion controls including construction monitoring; sanitary sewers; utilities; and the design of a stormwater management system for quantity control and quality mitigation including separation, infiltration, and bio-filtration of stormwater runoff.

King School

This 34 acre campus supports a student population of 650 plus a faculty of 120. Neighborhood coordination, traffic and drainage flow design were required to alleviate historic campus and neighborhood concerns.  The development of site designs and the subsequent permitting process involved Special Exception applications and coordination with an adjacent subdivision development. Designs and specifications were “value engineered” to cut costs without sacrifice of design quality. Construction activities were monitored for compliance and conformity with design criteria. Surveys for layout and location of improvements were required and performed.

Glenville School

Substantial reconstruction of a K-5 public school serving a student population of 400. Our design responsibilities included grading, drainage, utilities, paving, site planning, and sediment and erosion controls.

Long Ridge School

On this 14 acre campus, we provided services for the addition of an auditorium and parking. Design services include stormwater management, water supply, primary and reserve Sanitary Sewer Disposal System (SSDS), grading, planning, and layout. The SSDS was designed for the school’s K through 5 use and the summer day camp use.

The Winston Preparatory School

We participated in a Master Plan Design Charrette focused on the sustainable use and restoration of this 13-acre campus to serve the unique academic needs and mission of the Winston Preparatory School. Ultimately, we designed the site and received necessary regulatory approvals for a new teaching facility including an outdoor classroom that replaced an existing modular classroom building. The newly organized campus ties together several disparate buildings and sections of the site with pedestrian and vehicular improvements while respecting and restoring a wetland and watercourse corridor central to the site. LEED status is pending.

Greenwich Hospital

Modernization of the hospital included demolishing most of the existing facility and building a new hospital. Evaluated the sanitary sewage flow and the existing infrastructure to accept flow and designed new sanitary sewers. Designs of offsite road improvements were required as were State and Local permits. Construction phasing was critical.

Yale New Haven Health

Services were provided for the renovation and reuse of an existing, 120,000 SF general office building. The proposal called for a renovation by YNHH that would include an Emergency Department, Diagnostic Radiology Imaging Center, Outpatient Geriatric Care Facility and Medical Offices. In addition to building improvements, the proposal also called for the reconfiguration of a portion of the existing, 512 space surface parking area and onsite access road; utility upgrades including a new 350 kW backup generator. Survey services included preparation of an existing conditions Property and Topographic Survey of the 7.5 acre site as well as a Zoning Location Survey depicting the proposed improvements. Engineering services included preparation Site Engineering Plans depicting the design of site grading, drainage, paving, utilities and erosion controls. We also provide site planning services relative to the parking lot reconfiguration, truck articulation, etc. We provided services associated with obtaining approvals from the local Planning and Zoning & Inland Wetlands Commissions. Finally, we provided minor engineering and survey services during construction.

National Audubon Society – Greenwich

The Audubon Center in Greenwich opened in 1942 and is the National Audubon Society’s first environmental education center. The reconstruction of the Nature Education Center on 287 acres included improvements to site infrastructure, parking, and drives in a manner that protected this sensitive site and showcased low impact development techniques to reduce the project footprint and potential impacts on stormwater runoff. Redniss & Mead’s design responsibilities included: several septic systems; restoration of Indian Spring Pond; conventional and grassed parking; stormwater management collection and conveyance systems for quantity control and quality mitigation including a water quality outlet, water quality swale, and stormwater pond; and sediment and erosion control plans and construction monitoring. The project required approvals from the Planning and Zoning Commission, Inland Wetlands and Watercourses Agency, and Army Corps of Engineers.

Westport Library

Addition to existing Westport Library Building and associated site work to library building. Surveying services included preparation of “as-built” Improvement Location Survey upon completion of construction. Engineering services included preparation of site development plans depicting the design of site grading, drainage, utilities and erosion controls. Services included coordination with design team and ownership as well as with relevant town land use officials. Services also included conducting soil test pies and percolation tests in support of anticipated, proposed stormwater infiltration facilities. Consulting services included support of project attorney in filing applications and attendance at public meetings/hearings to present elements of the site design and/or co answer commission members’ questions as they related to the proposed site work.

Cos Cob Library

This library is situated in a floodplain and a Coastal Zone. A Flood Impact Study was required along with Site Engineering services. Permit processing assistance was provided for Wetlands and Zoning permits. The project shares a municipal parking lot with the Cos Cob Firehouse. The parking lot was designed to serve both uses as well as public parking.
