City of Groton Highway Garage - Groton, CT

This project involved the construction of a new highway garage on a site directly behind the City of Groton Municipal Building.  The main building contains garage spaces, offices and storage for the City Highway and Engineering Departments.  The site also accommodates a salt shed, fueling facility for City vehicles and outdoor storage of construction materials and equipment.

A major design consideration of the project was the relocation of a watercourse that bisected the site. Because the watercourse contained potential fish habitat, the relocated stream needed to incorporate fish habitat elements in its design and construction. DiCesare-Bentley Engineers, Inc. worked closely with the owner and DEP Fisheries staff to develop the plans and to coordinate construction.

Services provided by DiCesare-Bentley Engineers, Inc. for this project included land surveying, civil / site design, local and state permitting and construction documents and administration.
