Highlighted Land Development Projects
Master Planning: Transforming Land for a Paving Company
Gradient optimized a large tract of land for a paving company, integrating an asphalt plant, storage yard, and vehicle maintenance shop with new office space.
Our Process:
- Conducted collaborative meetings to identify key requirements.
- Designed alternative layouts optimizing space, traffic flow, and functionality.
- Proposed revenue-generating commercial space along a major road.
- Created 3D visualizations to facilitate decision-making.
This innovative plan became the foundation for ongoing development and maximized the property’s potential.
Roadway Intersection Improvements: Fort Liberty
At the intersection of Gruber Road and Zabitosky Road, Gradient addressed severe traffic congestion with a custom design solution:
- Enhanced westbound traffic flow with two left-turn lanes and two through lanes.
- Integrated a “speed ramp” for smoother eastbound transitions.
- Expanded Zabitosky Road to include left, through, and right-turn lanes.
Our team seamlessly coordinated with concurrent projects, delivering an efficient and safe traffic network for the area.
Site Infrastructure Upgrades: North PX, Fort Liberty
When deteriorated asphalt and poor drainage created safety issues, Gradient stepped in to revamp the site:
- Redesigned the parking lot for safer, more convenient access.
- Installed tree islands to manage stormwater runoff and promote tree growth.
- Resurfaced and regraded the lot for long-term durability and improved drainage.
Gradient created a two-way ingress and egress directly as the main entrance, with no parking along this route. This allowed for safe and convenient access from the main road to the facility. The remainder of the parking lot was milled, regraded where necessary to achieve positive drainage, and repaved. Tree islands were installed per the Installation Design Guide and were constructed so stormwater runoff would flow into the islands to help promote tree growth.
