Grand Landing - Moore & Bruggink is the site civil engineer for this 21-acre redevelopment project underway at US-31 and Jackson Street in the City of Grand Haven, Ottawa County, Michigan. The project site is an abandoned and contaminated property historically used for various heavy industrial activities including plating operations, a tannery, petroleum storage and distribution, a scrap yard, road equipment and repair maintenance, brine storage and a former wastewater treatment plant. As a result of the industrial activities, the property's soil and groundwater are contaminated by hazardous substances and the property had become an urban brownfield. The Grand Landing project is a mutual endeavor by the City of Grand Haven and the site developer, Grand Landing LLC, to redevelop the property while addressing its environmental concerns. Full build-out of the Grand Landing project will include retail and residential space, a multi-story hotel/residential condominium building, restaurants, a boardwalk along the South Channel of the Grand River, an amphitheater/skating rink, a traffic roundabout, and a significant snow-melt system. Civil engineering design challenges for the site include contaminated groundwater and soil, existing above and below ground utilities, existing wetlands and floodplain, buried peat and other debris, and high groundwater. Moore & Bruggink has been responsible for the design and approval of all watermain, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, grading and final layout of the site. We have provided construction staking, field inspection and field engineering services in addition to keeping track of pay quantities and assembling monthly site contractor payment recommendations.
