The Elizabethtown Public Works Garage is a facility that services a multitude of needs of the Public Works Department in Elizabethtown, PA. The building itself is a two-story structure that provides vehicle parking bays as well as employee office space. A large storage building onsite also houses materials used by Borough personnel.
Nittany Engineering, a division of Century Engineering, Inc., performed the site civil services including survey, stormwater design, and permitting as well as construction management and inspection services. The team also designed a 10-foot tall retaining wall and site landscaping together with the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, geotechnical, and structural engineering for this project. Construction was completed in the fall of 2019.
The project was designed and constructed with an eye towards environmental impacts. Contaminated soils and other hazardous materials were discovered onsite during construction. These hazardous items were removed and disposed of in a safe manner that complied with all DEP and OSHA requirements. Hazardous and contaminated material onsite was replaced by clean fill. Native vegetation was planted onsite around the structures and in the bioretention pond, creating valuable habitats for aquatic species.
The construction of the Elizabethtown Public Works garage added tremendous value to the community. This project beautified the area by developing a vacant contaminated lot into a visually appealing facility that both benefits the environment and meets the needs of the Public Works staff.
