Facilities Planning

Our staff has been involved in a number of site work projects ranging from small site parking lot designs to large site development and infrastructure improvements. The infrastructure improvements include: drinking water, fire supply, wastewater, sub-surface drainage, grading, drainage, access roads, parking lots, and sidewalks.

Seattle Pacific University Camp Casey - Whidbey Island, Washington

Davido Consulting Group provided engineering planning services to Seattle Pacific University for the Camp Casey Conference Center Master Plan. This plan provides for the phased development of facilities at Camp Casey to meet the need for a modern conference center. We worked closely as part of SPU's team of consultants to develop a long term program of capital improvements to this historic site.

Our planning included an expanded water supply, stormwater planning including rain gardens for treatment and infiltration, and a new sewage collection and treatment system that connects existing septic systems to a water recycling plant. The recycled water would be used for sports field irrigation during the summer months, thereby improving the quality of the surface used for soccer camps. The master plan was approved by Island County as an element of the County's planning code for an "existing master planned resort." DCG engineers provided close support throughout the approval process that went beyond typical engineering services in order to gain buy-in for the project from key constituents in Island County and the local community.

Black Hills Village - Thurston County, Washington

The Highlands - Langley, Washington

The Highlands DCG was contracted to provide site civil engineering design services for a 52-unit mixed residential use community on a 14-acre site in Langley, Washington. Design services included completion of an extension to the existing City of Langley potable water system, design of a new low pressure sanitary sewer collection and conveyance system, and design of site wide storm water controls utilizing low impact techniques including raingardens and downspout drywells.

DCG provided permitting assistance through the preliminary and final plat processes and provided construction support throughout infrastructure installation. In addition, DCG designed an approximately 1,800 foot public connector road between Al Anderson Road and Langley Road within the City of Langley City limits to alleviate impacts to the existing frontage road and improve roadway circulation to and from the project site.
