As summer events continue to fill calendars and daylight is still plentiful, communities are in full-swing activity this season. How can municipalities keep pace, both on-site and off? In our latest newsletter, we look at why the coming months are optimal for ecological projects, why social media is essential for staying connected with residents, and what it takes to plan ahead on both fronts.

The Village of Utica's wastewater treatment plant upgrade has new equipment on site as it moves through construction. The existing plant dates back to 1930 and was permitted to treat 435,000 gallons per day but is regularly processing more than 500,000 gallons. Environmental Design Group is partnering with the Village on a full plant upgrade. Our construction management team is guiding the project through bidding and contract administration, submittal review, RFIs, change order negotiations, field observation and quantity tracking. The finished product will result in a modernized plant built to serve the Village for decades to come.

Construction ➡️ completion of a full bridge replacement.

Residents who cross Sunrise Blvd. Bridge in Kent now have 4' sidewalks on each side, separated from traffic by railings and a concrete barrier, providing a safe way for pedestrians to move about the neighborhood. Getting there required rebuilding the bridge from the abutments up: removing the existing steel superstructure and deck in phases to keep the corridor open during construction, seating new prestressed concrete composite box beams and replacing the approach slabs so the transition on and off the bridge is seamless.

Environmental Design Group served as construction manager on the project, providing daily field inspection under the ODOT LPA manual. Our team handled material verification and quantity tracking, structures inspection, change order review, construction engineering, material testing coordination and project closeout.

Tucked behind I-480 in Streetsboro, Floyd North Bicentennial Park is an unexpected hideaway with a looping trail, offering a serene spot to slow down. Accessible parking and pathways make it a space for people of all ages and abilities to exercise, come together or just be outside.
