Navy Yard Corporate Center Infrastructure Project Philadelphia, PA
BEFORE CONSTRUCTION As part of the redevelopment of the Philadelphia Navy Yard into an urban corporate center, Pennoni was responsible for the design of one mile of public infrastructure to support 1.5M SF of private development. The infrastructure design incorporated one mile of green stormwater infrastructure into a new roadway network. The project to redevelop the former brownfield was jointly funded by the Philadelphia Water Department and Liberty Property Trust. When the U.S. Navy substantially closed the Navy Yard, ownership was transferred to the Philadelphia Industrial Development Corporation (PIDC). Liberty Property Trust served as the agent for PIDC in the brownfield redevelopment. The infrastructure project includes the design and construction of one mile of new roads and several miles of new utility infrastructure. The roads were designed as “Green Streets” in accordance with the sustainability goals of the master plan. The design incorporated two different green stormwater details based on the street type defined in the master plan: stormwater planters and tree trenches. The landscape design was developed to blend the green stormwater components with the adjacent site development. Utilities (water, storm, sanitary, telephone/data, electric, gas) were located to facilitate the installation of green stormwater infrastructure.
