LARKIN ON MEMORIAL BROWNFIELDS REDEVELOPMENT ATLANTA, GA

NOVA project, Larkin on Memorial, recently received the ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE STATE AWARD (Category: Environmental) at the gala hosted by the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Georgia. The Brownfield Cleanup included restoration and repurposing 63,000 square feet of the existing facility, to include businesses offering services ranging from dry-cleaning to childcare to quality groceries and dry goods. It was the owner's intent for the project to serve the day-to-day needs of the citizens in the surrounding Grant Park, Ormewood Park, Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, and East Atlanta neighborhoods. Due to geotechnical and environmental considerations at the site, NOVA worked to develop and implement an effective subgrade remediation plan for foundation support due to unsuitable materials and an alternate chlorinated solvent remediation strategy consisting of both in-situ and ex-situ technologies. NOVA oversaw the installation of the subgrade remediation, designed and oversaw the Vapor Intrusion Mitigation System (VIMS) consisting of an active/passive Sub-Slab Depressurization System (SSDS), and a vapor barrier product retrofitted for use in an existing building. Through value engineering, NOVA was able to save our client approximately $334,000.00 of a budget of $2,200,000.00.
