Zaxby’s Restaurant

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Looking to capitalize on a highly visible location on busy US Highway 29 (Emmet Street) in the City of Charlottesville, we were hired to design a site plan for a new Zaxby's restaurant. Our familiarity with Charlottesville's requirements and the community-at-large were instrumental in overcoming two challenges related to the desired lot. First, we helped the developer obtain a Special Use Permit for a drive-thru window by participating in community meetings, attending planning commission meetings, and working with City staff to address public concerns and comments. Second, our firm developed a site plan for this narrow lot that not only met the City's setback requirements but also provided Zaxby's with their desired number of parking spaces and a drive-thru lane. We also developed preliminary and final site plans that showed the phased removal of the existing restaurant, layout of pedestrian routes, code-compliant landscaping, dumpster enclosures, and new utility services.

Electronic Components Manufacturer Remediation

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] Soil and groundwater at this industrial facility became contaminated through inadvertent release of PCE to a storm sewer. Draper Aden provided a novel, in situ remediation approach, developed to address the dissolved PCE that has already reached the confined aquifer and low levels that could enter the aquifer in the future. We performed environmental remediation and monitoring to assist the manufacturing site. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

Dewey Gottwald Center at the Science Museum of Virginia

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Science Museum of Virginia attracts hundreds of thousands of guests annually through exhibits, artifacts, and interactive technologies. Under the leadership of Rich Conti, the Science Museum embarked on an ambitious campaign to renovate the existing museum and expand with the addition of the Dewey Gottwald Center, a $12 million facility that offers dynamic spaces for events and meetings. Draper Aden performed the site design for grading and drainage. Our site design included provisions for abnormal rain events, grading design for the site, and relief points to ensure that water moved around the structure, and not in it, during heavy rain events. This project was honored by Engineering News-Record as the ENR Mid-Atlantic Best Project Winner in the Cultural/Worship category [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

WVWA Salem Turnpike Sanitary Sewer

[vc_row content_aligment="center"][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Authority replaced approximately 3,000 LF of 8- and 10-inch sanitary sewer along Salem Turnpike with 18-inch sewer. The project’s goal was to upsize the undersized sewer to meet current and future wastewater demands, prevent future sanitary sewer overflows, and decrease the potential for infiltration and inflow (I&I). Draper Aden Associates provided utility design, surveying, geotechnical investigation, and SUE. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...
