GHD provided civil engineering services for the renovation of an existing warehouse in Auburn, Washington. The warehouse was renovated so the Social Security Administration could provide a call centre to account for the upcoming increase of retirees in the national workforce.

Civil engineering services included grading, paving, storm drainage and utility design for the site.

The design was developed to take advantage of existing site features, utilities and soil conditions to provide a low-impact design that will be cost-effective. Existing parking areas were maintained in their current conditions, with only minor modifications such as asphalt patching and repairs, and curbs and sidewalks for pedestrian safety.

Storm drainage conveyance incorporated existing storm drainage infrastructure to minimise the installation of new storm drain structures and pipe. Stormwater was treated and infiltrated through a bio-retention swale (rain garden) and an infiltration trench to reduce pollutants, flow rates and volumes that will be sent offsite in storm drain pipes.

GHD also provided roadway design for 1300 feet of Aleshire Avenue to improve access to the project site, surrounding access points and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility.

ITS

GHD’s multi-disciplinary team of road, rail, traffic, electrical, control, information and communications engineers has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the identification of user needs and the selection and application of ITS technologies.

The GHD ITS team includes professionals with extensive experience in procurement, operation, management and maintenance. Working with us, you’ll benefit from GHD’s strategic approach in developing robust, cost-effective and compliant solutions:

Pavement Engineering

Your single most valuable asset is arguably the pavement system within your network. We understand that pavements are subjected to static and dynamic loads as well as exposure to the elements; only sound engineering judgment, informed by experienced and qualified staff, can provide cost concious and appropriate solutions to your pavement challenges.

We demonstrate an innovative, sustainable approach through our relationships with research centres of excellence at Delft (Holland) Wisconsin (USA) Stellenbosch (South Africa) Transit New Zealand UWA (Western Australia) and ARRB (Australia).

Road Systems

For more than 50 years, we’ve delivered innovative road including rehabilitation, expansion and development of new highways, complex interchanges, toll roads, bridges and tunnels. Our planners and engineers provide integrated services to plan, design, construct, maintain and manage all aspects of road corridor life.

From planning and procurement through to feasibility and investigation, and design, construction, delivery and maintenance, you’ll enjoy bespoke solutions for roads that incorporate masterplanning, funding and economic analysis, transport planning, asset management, environmental management, risk management and more.
