Denver, Colorado

Martin/Martin provided civil engineering services associated with both the master planning and redevelopment (approx 35-acres) of the main Denver Water campus. Services began with a facility assessment and site evaluation study to determine not only the possible campus configuration to best suit the mission of Denver Water, but also evaluate opportunities for incorporation of incredibly high sustainability and LEED pursuit desires. Goals of the project were to become one of the nation’s most sustainable utility campuses, promoting the potential use of rainwater harvesting and graywater reuse while maintaining maximum flexibility for future growth and mission requirements. Services have extended into full campus design, and jurisdictional entitlement promoting a multi-phased design allowing the campus to remain fully operational throughout construction, maintaining the integrity of historic structures, and working within the parameters of highly sustainable goals. Design is provided for utility mainlines, grading, drainage, detention and water quality features, and design associated with multiple new buildings surrounded by heavy site needs to support the maintenance functionality of the program.
