NineStar Riley Village Sanitary Sewer

/

NineStar Riley Village Sanitary Sewer Greenfield, Indiana  RQAW | DCCM worked for the owner NineStar Connect to design and develop plans for Riley Village’s sanitary sewer system replacement. RQAW worked with stakeholders, including the neighborhood’s homeowners association (HOA) to effectively secure land access. The project also included sanitary sewer replacement for approximately 80 homes as well as rehabilitation for some existing sewer segments crossing under Sugar Creek. One of the key challenges in this project was maintaining access to homes during construction of the new sanitary sewer, which would primarily be under HOA-owned roadway. RQAW | DCCM designed the sewer system to minimize full-lane closures and above-ground impacts to residents. This project was awarded the USDA Water & Waste Disposal Loan and Grant Investment financing to help build and improve rural wastewater systems.

North Salem Water Treatment Plant

North Salem Water Treatment Plant The Town of North Salem was experiencing arsenic levels in their finished water above permitted limits and shouldering the financial burden of an aging water tower. To address these issues, RQAW | DCCM designed a new 80 gpm water treatment plant with pressure filters, 75,000-gallon elevated storage tank. RQAW | DCCM helped the Town find funding for the $2.1M project and performed design, bidding, and construction administration services to ensure project success.

Union County Water & Sewer Extension

Union County Water & Sewer Extension RQAW | DCCM worked with Union County and the Town of Liberty throughout the project to develop a plan for extending water and sewer services southeast of town along US 27 for future developments. This project included both water main and force main along with a new lift station. Special considerations were made throughout design given the unique county/town relationship and state requirements along INDOT right- of-way. One of the key challenges to this project was most of the water and sewer were within INDOT right-of-way limits as the team was designing the system for a future development. Our solution was to coordinate with INDOT early and upfront along with our Road Department to ensure a positive permitting experience. The solution to designing for future development was to directly contact owner and potential developers of the site to understand potential land use. 

Wheatland Water & Wastewater Design

Wheatland Water & Wastewater Design Wheatland, Indiana RQAW | DCCM led an internal and external team of engineers to design and develop a new sanitary sewer system for the Town of Wheatland. This system included several miles of new low-pressure force main, one lift station, and a package wastewater treatment plant for the town of 500 people. The team evaluated wastewater lagoons for Wheatland being crucial for maintaining compliance with regulations and ensuring effective treatment. One of the key challenges in the design of project was ensuring the project met the Town’s limited budget, supported by a $14M SRF grant award for water/wastewater. The SRF grant award has been the highest award ever given for a project. After receiving no bids on the collection systems portion of the project, RQAW | DCCM redesigned the collection system to shallow up sewers. This redesign drew more interest from contractors, allowing the project to proceed. Construction is currently underway for this project.

US 231 Road Rehab

US 231 Road Rehab RQAW | DCCM provided Right of Way Engineering and Land Acquisition Project Management for this 40-parcel project in the City of Greenfield, Indiana. The project included reconstruction of the deteriorating pavement, reconstruction of curb and gutter throughout the project limits, and reconstruction of ADA facilities as needed. Drainage complications required our survey department to provide additional support and extend the limits of the project northward approximately 1,000 feet to allow for stormwater to be conveyed into an existing drainage system.

Lauth ALTA

Lauth ALTA RQAW | DCCM’s Survey team provided ALTA, NSPS Land Title, and Topographic Survey services for the site, industrial warehouse, and distribution space in Greenfield, Indiana. This area, comprising Signature 70, 70 Connect II, and 70 Connect III, will provide more than 1,000,000-sf of industrial and build-to-suit opportunities within Mount Comfort.

236th Street Road Improvements

/

236th Street Road Improvements This project extends from the intersection of State Road 38 in Sheridan approximately 2.2 miles east to Jay Ditch. The project required control and topographic data collection for widening of an existing roadway. A location control route survey was prepared for acquisition of right of way required for the project.

Burkart Boulevard

/

Burkart Boulevard Seymour, Indiana Challenge: The city wanted a bypass around Seymour to allow for future development on the south side of the city, reduce truck traffic through downtown, and to provide additional options for emergency vehicles when trains are present. Solution: This INDOT-LPA project with the City of Seymour involved constructing a new bypass around Seymour that is approximately 2.3 miles long. Awarded in November of 2019 and opened to traffic in November of 2021, this $17.3M project begins at the O’Brien Street intersection and extends to the northeast to connect at US 50/Burkart Boulevard. RQAW | DCCM designed a 1.4-mile segment of new, two-lane HMA pavement roadway, including a 12-ft Shared-Use pedestrian trail along the north side, a single-lane roundabout at the O’Brien St intersection, and approximately 3,800-ft of MSE retaining wall. The existing railroad bridge was approximately 90-ft in length to cross over the L&I Railroad and required extensive railroad coordination. Additionally, due to a new alignment, RQAW | DCCM also designed a new stormwater system including storm sewers, ditches, small structures, and detention (dry) ponds for 29 ac. of developed area to meet the city’s stormwater requirement for development. The detention ponds were designed to provide storage for additional discharge created by the impervious areas of the new road pavement. For this new roadway phase, RQAW | DCCM also provided Construction Inspection Services and was pivotal in providing Environmental Services for the required permits and approval of environmental documents. Cost $17.5M Completed 2021

Good Samaritan Hospital Surgery Suite Mechanical Renovation

/

Good Samaritan Hospital Surgery Suite Mechanical Renovation Vincennes, Indiana RQAW | DCCM’s MEP team was tasked with the design of the Good Samaritan Hospital Surgery Suite Mechanical Renovation project for the City of Vincennes. The project included providing the correct HVAC solution to resolve continual duct condensate and Operating Room temperature/humidity control issues. All duct-mounted coils and other problem areas above critical operation spaces were pulled. Our design maintained and improved backup operations previously facilitated by multiple existing air-handling units. RQAW | DCCM’s goal was to establish and retain long-term relationships with the City by meeting their current and future needs. Completed 2023

Knox County Jail & Corrections Center

/

Knox County Jail & Corrections Center Vincennes, Indiana RQAW | DCCM developed a design to resolve significant space and operational challenges at the Knox County Jail and Community Corrections facilities through a study completed in June of 2020. The Knox County Board of Commissioners agreed to a project consisting of an intake and booking addition to the Knox County Jail, renovation of existing space into a medical suite, a housing pod addition, and a new stand-alone Work Release facility. The innovative design for the Work Release facility allows for two separate populations (male and female) to function individually, while internally functioning as a single operation. Administration is combined into one area and includes seven offices, a conference room, break room, and storage, as well as staff only restrooms. The secure part of the facility is accessed separately. Males, females, staff, and the public all have their own entrance, depending on what section of the building they need to access, enhancing safety and efficiency. The design houses 70 females and 144 males in an indirect supervision pod. The 92,070-s f Work Release facility was completed at the beginning of 2024 with a construction cost of $29M.  Cost $29M Completed 2024 Size 92,070 SF
