WATER IMPROVEMENTS
Water Main Replacement; City of Estacada, OR
FDG provided topographical survey, base map preparation, design, and prepared the construction documents and specifications for the construction of 1600 lineal feet of water line replacement for the City of Estacada.
This project entailed replacing various sections of undersized and failing waterline at three different locations within the City of Estacada with new 8-inch pipe. In one section the water line did not satisfactorily meet the required horizontal separation from the existing sanitary sewer line, in which case the new water main was constructed with welded HDPE pipe to meet the state health department codes.
Water Treatment Plant Upgrade; City of Estacada, OR
FDG provided services to evaluate the existing raw water intake pump system to determine if new motors would result in an increase to the intake volume, and FDG managed replacement of the filter media, effluent and backwash pumps. This included the contractor disassembling the treatment tanks, sandblasting the old deteriorating paint and applying a new coating meeting the standards and specifications for potable water.
Waterline Improvements; Government Camp, OR
Prepared the design and managed the installation of 2,100 lineal feet of 8-inch water main and appurtenances in E. Wy’East and E. Blossom Roads, for the Clackamas County Development Agency.
Water Intake Diversion Decommissioning; City of Yamhill, OR
Topographical survey, base map preparation, hydraulic modeling, and prepare 30%, 60% and final construction plans. Provided coordination for the state removal/fill permit application related to the work conducted in Turner Creek.
Water Storage Facilities; Government Camp, OR
Prepared the design and construction bid documents for a new 250,000 gallon bolted steel water storage tank, including associated piping and valving system for the Government Camp Water Company. FDG provided construction administration and oversight.
SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Trunk Line Replacement; City of Woodburn, OR
Designed 495LF of 15-inch sanitary sewer to replace a section of pipe that over time was vertically displaced causing a "belly" in the pipe. This project was located in a sensitive riparian area and involved performing a wetland delineation and preparing the required joint removal-fill permit application. Additionally the site was located in an area identified as of high archeological/ paleotelogical significance. Therefore our project team included an archeologist to assist with the project and provide oversight during construction. FDG prepared the construction plans and specifications and performed construction inspection.
Highway 26 Sanitary Sewer Extension; Government Camp, OR
Provided topographical survey and engineering design for 1,500 lineal feet of 8-inch new sanitary sewer line and appurtenances, for the Government Camp Sanitary District. FDG also prepared the construction bid and specifications for the project.
Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project; Government Camp, OR
Prepared the design and construction bid documents for the replacement of 1,300 lineal feet of sanitary sewer line that was replaced using pipe bursting, for the Government Camp Sanitary District.
STREET & SIDEWALK/PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS
Oak Street Sidewalk Improvements; City of Silverton, OR
Design of approximately 1,425 lineal feet of curb and sidewalk improvements, including a retaining wall and storm drainage improvements, for the City of Silverton. Work included preparation of a construction easement, coordination with ODOT as street is a state highway, right-of-way acquisition and preparation of bid documents and specifications.
Mill Creek Greenway Multi-Use Pedestrian Trail; City of Woodburn, OR
Provided survey, design and permitting services for multi-use pedestrian path improvements within the Mill Creek Greenway corridor. Project required a complete topographical survey of City park properties that are located in a contiguous serious for approximately a mile in length. The design required two trail head parking improvements and consideration of creek crossings, wetland impacts, no-rise flood plain analysis and pedestrian safety at four major road crossings. Additionally a public parking lot, trailhead signage, viewing platforms and benches were trail amenities integrated into the design.
Third Street Sidewalk Improvements; City Fairview, OR
Provided the site topographical and right-of-way survey and developed the project base maps. Prepared the construction plans for curb tight sidewalk improvements along 800 lineal feet of 3 rd Street including extending the asphalt pavement to the new curb and modifying the storm collection conveyance system. Project entailed one major pedestrian crossing that utilized a stamped concrete pattern for the crosswalk. This project was unique in that the City used this opportunity to utilize pervious asphalt for the new pavement sections as a test site for future use within the City.
Hawthorn / Ivy Street Improvements; City of Estacada, OR
Prepared preliminary design, construction plans and bid documents for two separate 600 lineal feet street and sidewalk improvements. Improvements included sidewalk, curb, gutter, retaining walls, infiltration rain gardens, new subgrade rock base and asphalt. This project dealt with incorporating the unique features of the existing residential lots including mature trees, matching driveways, retaining walls, and encroachment issues. Public outreach was a key component to this project as the improvements altered the use of the street and the neighbors were accustomed to.
WATER RESOURCE PROJECTS
Private Industrial Facility, Johnson Creek Bank Enhancement; Portland, OR
Prepared a bank enhancement design as a supplementary action to the primary goal of removing contaminated soils along a bank section of Johnson Creek on private industrial property. Prepared the City of Portland BES Environmental Review/ Enhancement permit application and site plan. The enhancement resulted in slightly more flood storage and a significant improvement to the riparian vegetation by removing invasive species and densely planting native species.
Fish Passage Culvert Replacement, West Linn, OR
Designed a 12ftX6ftX30ft concrete box culvert to replace a 60-inch CMP culvert to improve fish passage at this road crossing. Project entailed stream and culvert topographical survey, HEC-RAS hydraulic analysis, design of downstream rock vane grade control structures and stream habitat enhancement. FDG prepared the requisite removal-fill permit documents and tailored the project to adhere to the NOAA SLOPES programmatic authorization. Additionally, the bid documents were compiled and FDG assisted the City with the bidding and construction phase of the project.
Duck Pond Winery Constructed Wetland,Dundee, OR
Oversaw the design of a constructed submerged flow wetland to treat process waste flows at the Duck Pond Winery. The project goal was to assist the facility to achieve National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit compliance. Project involved analysing design flows thru various constructed wetland configurations to meet required effluent water quality parameters.
