CIVIL ENGINEERING (CE) #1 – LAKEVIEW REDEVELOPMENT BY DIRTY CIVIL ENGINEERING, INC. DEPARTMENT: Civil Engineering TEAM MEMBERS: Ross Ambrose Zac Mathews Ryan Pyper William Schultz PROJECT ADVISOR: Dr. Nick Hudyma
Dirty Civil Engineering Inc. was challenged with the task of redeveloping Lakeview Park in Nampa. The city hopes to get a similar result to Quinn’s Pond in Boise, with opened spaces and a water feature to attract a more diverse population and increase community park use. Our four engineers practice five different Civil Engineering disciplines to present the best possible design. During the entire life of this project sustainability, inclusion, and safety will be held paramount. Our design features a pavilion and bathroom/rental facility, channel inlets, and weir design. Our geotechnical and environmental approaches focus on structural reinforcements and improvements of water quality through a constructed wetland system. A 3D visualization will be provided to the client, done in Sketch-Up, and a hard deliverable that will allow construction to begin in early May.
#2 – LAKEVIEW PARK REVAMP BY SUPREME CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT: Civil Engineering TEAM MEMBERS: Russell Gray Grant Grichuhin Courtney Kim Jenn Pages PROJECT ADVISOR: Dr. Nick Hudyma
The Lakeview Park project is a newly renovated park located in Nampa, Idaho. The design intended is to expand the park while preserving some existing features. The new features are designed with consideration to Quinn’s Pond located in Boise, as well as the City of Nampa’s projected growth of 25% within the next decade. Our design elements include an elevated walkway around a 15-foot-deep pond with gender neutral restrooms. The restrooms will be housed in a newly built multiuse facility intended to provide extracurricular activities and water sports. Park redesigns also features rerouting 16th Avenue, additional parking lots, and new signage for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. Overall, the park is a home for artistic expression, consisting of: existing military and historical displays, performing art facilities such as an amphitheater, flower garden, and other local features.
#3 – LAKEVIEW PARK RECREATION AREA ENHANCEMENTS BY EXPEDITED SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT: Civil Engineering TEAM MEMBERS: Luke Larson Ryan Peri Bobby Sieker Trevor Steelsmith PROJECT ADVISOR: Dr. Nick Hudyma
The City of Nampa will redesign Lakeview Park and 16th Avenue to enhance recreational features, improve safety and efficiency of transportation, and attract active families within a 5-mile radius. The project integrates Structural, Transportation, Geotechnical and Hydraulic engineering with aesthetic, environmental and human considerations to vivify Nampa’s community and attract business, while working towards a sustainable future. The essential features of the enhancement include a 15-acre pond constrained by an inline and a lateral earthen weir, a bridge raising 16th Avenue over the pond, scenic walkways bordering the pond, expanded parking areas, gabion retaining walls and aesthetic picnic gazebos. Additionally, the project emphasizes sustainability by incorporating aquifer recharge areas, permeable pavements and recycled steel, concrete and soil. Finally, the team collaborated with local artists and visionaries to beautify the park structures and breathe local personality, culture and history into the recreation area.
