About the Project
(Click the tabs to find out more about the aspects of design)
This project is to be funded with both government grants and private funding. The parcel has had a prior land survey performed and currently has a portion of the parking lot that is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This could affect the drainage of the parcel and how a new drainage plan is developed. In addition, there is a wash along the side of the parcel that overtops during heavy rainstorms.
Existing Site Conditions
The proposed museum will be located on a 7.5-acre parcel located in downtown Peach Springs, AZ. This parcel has two existing structures located on the east and northwest areas of the property. An aerial photo graph of the parcel has been provided.
Key Design Aspects
When addressing site design for a large multi-use facility such as the proposed Hualapai Museum, numerous aspects of civil engineering site design must be addressed. For the site design of the facility in question, technical considerations are as follows: grading, storm-water drainage design, detention/retention facilities, sanitary sewer systems, municipal water supply, and parking facility design/site access. All designs must meet required specifications including those of the ADA, and NPS guidelines for buildings housing cultural/historical artifacts.
Design Constraints
Due to the proposed site’s historical and spiritual nature, there are numerous considerations that must be addressed. Several large trees that are currently present on the proposed site are important for both aesthetic and cultural reasons. At the request of the client, these trees should only be removed if absolutely necessary. A registered historic building lies directly adjacent to the proposed site, and also lies between the proposed site and an area in which parking facilities may be implemented. Due to the building’s historic nature, it cannot be demolished or moved. Another problem is the presence of a railroad easement along an entire edge of the site. As engineers, this easement must be taken into consideration. In the Hualapai culture a building’s entrance must face east; this must be taken under advisement for site design. Numerous other cultural considerations, such as the use of local building materials important to the tribe, will also need to be considered. It is our job as the engineering firm to work around this issue and find a suitable design.
