Project HIGHLIGHTS gateway south pond removal and water quality design Rio Rancho, New Mexico

RESPEC staff performed a hydrologic study to show that the regional pond at the northwest corner of Westside Boulevard and NM 528 no longer affected the peak rate of flow in the overall drainage system. The lot that contained the pond was privately owned with a drainage easement in place over the pond. Mr. Floyd coordinated with AMAFCA, NMDOT, and CORR to come to a consensus that the pond could be removed and replaced with a water quality structure.

Mr. Floyd coordinated the design of a structure to remove oils and other floatables and to re-plat the property. Currently, a new storm drain system with a water quality weir inlet has been designed and approved by AMAFCA and NMDOT. This work allowed what is likely the most valuable property in Rio Rancho to become available for development, while adding a new water quality feature to the existing storm drain system capable of removing floatables for storms up to the 100-year event.

Project HIGHLIGHTS Cherry Creek Mall Denver, Colorado

This project included site engineering and utility design/ coordination for the redesign of Cherry Creek Mall’s northeast building. Engineering services included extensive utility coordination (identification of historic services based on outdated and incorrect as-builts) with service providers, obtaining requisite permits and approvals, the engineering of new service entrances, new parking layouts and a complete redesign of utility services. The biggest challenge centered on miscellaneous utilities that surrounded the site. The building was constructed in the 1950’s and needed to be brought up to modern standards. Through careful study and planning, RESPEC staff were able to identify and catalog each unknown utility line, then work closely with Denver Wastewater and Denver Water to revise and eliminate unnecessary services and connections. The result was a more efficient and stable utility connections for the building.

The project included working closely with the City & County of Denver and was able to achieve SDP approval prior to required deadlines. RESPEC staff understands and complies with Denver Water standards and was able to collaborate on the elimination of the unnecessary water lines. Ultimately providing two separate taps, providing the client with simplified utility services for the new development.

McNichol’s Building Denver, Colorado

RESPEC staff worked closely with Humphries Poli Architecture as the site-solutions engineering lead on the design and re-use of this City-owned historic building located in Civic Center Park. Project tasks included utility coordination with the City and County of Denver and other agencies for service improvements. RESPEC staff also assisted in the design of a new north side entrance that included a deicing system, granite stairs, and bench seating.

After completing the Phase 1 Rehabilitation of the McNichols Civic Center Building, Humphries Poli Architects and RESPEC staff were commissioned to continue work on the building through its second phase, restoring the building to its original state. During the redevelopment of the building, a number of historic design elements were revealed including decorative steel stair stringers, original mosaic tile and terrazzo that had been hidden beneath floors, and original plaster column wraps that had been encased in walls. Through this experience RESPEC staff is well aware of how to manage and adapt to the many “surprises” that are often found during the design and redevelopment of historic structures.
