The Borough of Mount Arlington retained CP to provide design, bidding, regulatory permitting and construction phase services for the rehabilitation and expansion of existing recreational trails and trailhead access parking. The design of the new trails was performed in conformance with Morris County Trail Construction Grant Program requirements and the project complied with applicable NJDEP freshwater wetlands and flood hazard area permitting requirements. Bids were received by Mount Arlington, reviewed by CP and the Borough’s legal counsel, with CP preparing the recommendation to award documents. CP provided construction administration and observation services and was the liaison with the local residents on this project.
The Borough of Mount Arlington retained CP to design and coordinate the installation of a dense-graded aggregate (DGA) walking path, with protective fencing, boulder delineation and drainage improvements, at the Fireman’s Field recreation facility. The DGA walking path enhanced an existing paved pathway on site to provide a loop walking path around the entire facility. Access to the walking path is provided at either end of the park from existing parking areas.
Our firm provided conceptual and final design, bidding, and construction phase services for the reconstruction of the school’s primary parking lot. Additional improvements consisted of a new concrete sidewalk and a landscape island to facilitate a linear bus circulation pattern, which maximizes student safety by allowing them to enter and exit buses to and from a designated pedestrian sidewalk area. Prior to construction students had to cross an active parking lot to reach the buses. Stormwater management aspects of the project consisted of the redesign of and replacement of existing seepage pits for rooftop runoff with overflows into the site’s existing stormwater management system.
This design/build project, completed in coordination with J. Fletcher Creamer, required the preparation of a design for the replacement of an existing collapsed culvert beneath the primary access driveway of the Williams Transco natural gas transmission and distribution facility in Carlstadt, New Jersey. The design included the replacement of the culvert that allows passage of the tidally influenced waters of Bashes Creek and the complete reconstruction of the primary access driveway. The final design included 60 foot deep sheet pile headwalls, with a unique design required to install the culvert after the headwalls were installed. The control of water and construction around a significant amount of existing utilities, including several high pressure natural gas transfer mains, required an atypical design and installation approach.
VEOLIA – Our firm provides site plan design/preparation to Veolia for six water system sites throughout Vernon Township in support of their emergency and resilience efforts. We successfully represented Veolia as their land use engineer in obtaining Land Use Board approval from Vernon Township for the proposed siting and installation of permanent automatic backup generator power at six public water well stations. This effort provides for health and safety of the public water systems in the event of local power failures.
Our firm has provided site planning, civil engineering, structural, architectural and mechanical, electrical, plumbing engineering services associated with the development of this new facility in Sussex County. The client is the initial/first commercial facility of its type to be approved in the Highlands Preservation Area. CP has successfully worked with the local authorities, Highlands, NJDEP and other Regulatory Agencies to obtain the approvals. CP has successfully obtained all the necessary permits. The facility consists of approximately 43,000 square feet of commercial operations area with unique MEP and water needs. Other design components included stormwater management, wastewater design, and water well permitting.
Airport Road Properties engaged CP to assist with their plans to expand the available leased space at their facility in Sussex County, New Jersey on two separate occasions (2015 and 2023/24). The projects included both design and permitting services for the construction of three new flex space commercial buildings (two in 2015 and one in 2023/24) and the associated site improvements, which includes a new on-site septic system (2015) and expansion of the septic system (2023/24) to serve all three of the buildings. Updated stormwater design to accommodate the latest building addressed the revised NJDEP Stormwater Management Rules (2023). The end result of the project more than doubled the available leased space for the client at this location. Significant grade differences on the property required design of a number of rockery/stone retaining walls to provide level areas for the flex buildings and associated parking areas.
CP was hired by Plantabis Dispensary, LLC to provide site planning and engineering services for the remodel of an existing 1,900 SF one-story fast-food structure. Preliminary site plans containing site improvements, were prepared using an existing conditions survey for the application to the City of Rahway Planning Board. Assistance was provided in completing the Planning Board application.
