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.
Redniss & Mead provided engineering and surveying services to support the renovation and expansion of the Westport Library, one of the community’s most important civic institutions. Working with attorney Larry Weisman and HMA2 Architects, we contributed both technical design and entitlement expertise to ensure the successful modernization of the library’s Jesup Green campus.
Our engineering scope included preparing comprehensive site development plans covering grading, drainage, utility connections, and erosion controls. Surveying services documented existing conditions and produced final as-built drawings, while planning consulting services guided the project smoothly through the town’s review and approval process.
Collaboration was key to the project’s success. Redniss & Mead worked closely with the architect, ownership team, project attorney, and town officials to coordinate design requirements and secure approvals. Our staff attended public meetings and hearings, presenting technical elements of the design and responding to commission members’ questions to facilitate a clear and efficient review process.
The result was a seamless addition and renovation to the Westport Library that not only expanded its physical appearance but also enhanced its role as a cultural hub, a center for learning, and a community hub in Westport.
