Jarod Dempsey, Matthew Weimerskirch, Senior design team, Fall 2018.
The project determined the location, dimensions, and fixtures for the splash pad and playground equipment. Additionally, it served to define pipe size and routes while determining the applicability of potential flow systems such as sewer lift, closed-recycling, or stormwater discharge for water treatment and disposal. Aqua-Rec Designers would also review the applicability of grants provided by the client regarding potential funding sources for the project (Co-advised by Dr. Robert Schmitt).

GLENWOOD PARK RESTORATION- Kendall Engineers Team
Austin Andrews, Drew Adel, Garrett Hefter, Rakan Alharbi, Spring 2020
The design for the Glenwood Park Restoration performed by Kendall Engineers. The focus of this project was on developing drainage alternatives, a new pavilion design, and preparing a logical phasing plan with cost estimate. Based on feedback from the Village of Kendall, the design has been altered as appropriate. Taken into consideration in this design are the building codes, floodplain development codes, and best practices for park design. Kendall Engineers’ interpretation of the floodplain development code was verified in conversations with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources to ensure the conclusions reached were code-compliant. Loading calculations were performed on the new pavilion design (Co-advised by Dr. Robert Schmitt,).
