THE GREEN-OLD NEW CASTLE
Client: State Of Delaware
Location: New Castle, DE
Services: Stormwater and surveying
PROJECT DETAILS:
The State of Delaware’s historic site, The Green in New Castle, Delaware required close coordination with State Archeologists to alleviate a drainage problem at the Arsenal on the Green.
A costly solution would have included a storm drain network to be installed under Market Street, a nearby cobblestone street in the heart of New Castle. By revising the previous design, V&L provided a cost saving alternative, which infiltrated the collected runoff into the ground away from the historic Arsenal.
CHALLENGE PROGRAM
Client:
Location: Wilmington, DE
Services: civil & site design, Construction Engineering & Inspection
PROJECT DETAILS:
On the 7th Street Peninsula, along the banks of the Christina River, the Challenge Program is building a new facility to house their social enterprise furniture business in Wilmington Delaware. The Challenge Program has been providing vocational training for at-risk youth in the Wilmington area. They offer young people the opportunity to learn valuable construction skills, assistance in earning a high school diploma or GED, and job placement services. The Challenge Program trainees are doing a considerable amount of the building themselves. The high-quality workmanship is can be seen at every turn.
VanDemark & Lynch teamed with the property owners to remediate this brownfield site, and with the Challenge Program to develop the civil/site plans. We are proud to be part of the team for this project.
