Milender White made multifaceted civil improvements made for the S*Park (Sustainability Park) project, including a complete redevelopment and widening of 25th Street. To improve city infrastructure adjacent to the housing, more than 1,000 feet of sidewalk, curb and gutter were inspected and replaced as necessary on Lawrence, Arapahoe and 26th, and surround ramps and medians on property corners were completely replaced. Over 900′ of mow band was added to the back of the curb to allow for tree lawn maintenance. Tree lawns received a new irrigation system; some existing trees were removed, and 26 new trees planted. An existing 36″ diameter oak tree was protected throughout the course of construction.
The wet and dry utilities in the area needed updating and replacement. Doing this meant navigating through multiple street closures and performing work in partial streets, after hours and on weekends to accommodate the transportation needs of the City of Denver. Effective potholing and identification of existing utilities minimized impact to the community by reducing the length of street closures.
Along with improvements to storm systems, water lines, fire lines and sanitary systems, new fire hydrants replaced old ones and additional hydrants were added. In effort to minimize impact and cost, approximately 700′ of clay sewer pipe was lined with epoxy to reinforce and make the pipe new.
We developed a Transportation Engineering Improvement plan to redevelop 25th Street, which involved a complete demo of the existing road, curb, gutter, sidewalk, light poles and more. Over-excavation and recompacting of the road allowed for an added 5,500 sq. ft. of vehicular concrete pavement for parking, 5.500 sq. ft. of sidewalk, and 9,000 sq. ft. of new asphalt pavement plus new signage and striping. Electrical improvements followed: four new light poles, an electric car charging station, and a bikeshare station.
