Walmart + Sam’s Clubs Programs Our legacy partnership with Walmart set APD’s national standards for large-format grading, stormwater, and multi-agency permitting. Over more than a decade, we completed 100+ Walmart and Sam’s Club projects across the Northeast, Southeast, and South-Central U.S., supporting both corporate and developer-led initiatives—from new Supercenters and Sam’s Club builds to expansions, remodels, and special projects.

We carry that rigor forward. APD’s Civil team flexes from design engineers to program managers to deliver responsive, cost-effective, compliant sites Civil Scope Highlights: Full-service land development and entitlement support Site layout, grading, drainage, and stormwater management Utility design (water, sanitary, gas, electric, communications) DOT coordination and access improvements Erosion and sediment control design and permitting Environmental impact and wetlands permitting Construction documentation and municipal representation

Representative Projects:

Oswego, NY

Oswego, NY - This 18-acre project included road dedication to the local municipality, phased construction plans to keep the store operational during expansion, design coordination around an on-site abandoned landfill, and avoidance measures for threatened and endangered species— requiring approvals from NYSDEC and USFWS. The site also involved steep slopes and extensive retaining wall systems.

Potsdam, NY - This 50± acre ground-up project required an ACOE wetland permit and covenant, as well as a NYSDEC dam permit. The site design avoided impacts to threatened and endangered species, with approvals secured from both NYSDEC and USFWS. Due to utility limitations, the project included an on-site septic system with a pump station and treatment facility, a liquid propane system in place of natural gas, and a fully self-contained water system featuring domestic wells, water treatment, an elevated storage tank, and a comprehensive well testing program.

Cortlandville, NY - This ground-up 34± acre development required road dedication to the local municipality. Due to its location over a sole source aquifer, the project incorporated specialized stormwater controls—including watertight storm sewers, an impermeable detention basin, a stormwater pump station, an underground sand filter, monitoring wells, and post-construction water quality sampling—to meet strict environmental protection standards.

Lowe’s Home Centers, Inc. 30+ special-scope projects across the U.S. demonstrate APD’s ability to design and permit active, occupied sites—ensuring minimal disruption to operations while meeting strict stormwater and environmental standards. We deliver expansions, remodels, and operational upgrades that meet regional stormwater requirements and maintain active store operations.

Civil Scope Highlights: Full-service site development and entitlement support Site layout, grading, drainage, and stormwater management Utility design (water, sanitary, gas, and electric) Truck turning and circulation analysis (AutoTURN) Environmental and traffic studies for new store sites Stormwater and erosion control permitting (sub-1-acre & SWPPP exempt) Coordination with municipal agencies and Fire Marshal Construction documentation and permitting support

Representative Projects: Lowe’s Expansion – Louisville, CO 24'×450' rear drive aisle addition with grading, signage, drainage, and irrigation revisions.

Lowe’s Expansion – North Manassas, VA 2,200 SF stockroom addition and garden center shade structure with grading, sanitary, and storm revisions.

Lowe’s Canopy Addition – West Des Moines, IA 3,800 SF lumber canopy; storm and grading updates processed under City’s Minor Modification review.

ALDI Rollouts Since 2008, APD has overseen the ALDI prototype program, managing the development and maintenance of prototype drawings, specifications, and civil design guidelines. We have completed civil designs for hundreds of ALDI stores throughout the United States — focused on compact sites, utility coordination, and efficient grading for quick-turn development schedules.

Our Civil Engineers have provided entitlements, traffic studies, site engineering, survey, and planning/zoning representation for ALDI all across the nation.

Representative Projects: Latham, New York: This project included coordination with the Client, Municipality, and design team to establish feasibility and prepare comprehensive Site Development Plans covering grading, drainage, utilities, erosion control, lighting, landscaping, and truck-turning movements. It also included municipal and FAA submittals, stormwater design with SWPPP and SPDES permitting, utility service coordination, and pursuit of all required approvals. Environmental due diligence, permit support, and integration of building systems with site infrastructure were also part of the scope.

West Seneca, New York: This project involved the construction of a new 15,180± SF ALDI food store on a 1.9 acre parcel.

Other site improvements included a new parking area (including handicap accessibility per ADA requirements), water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, gas, electric, telephone services and landscaping and lighting.
