Engineering and Landscape Architectural Design Services for Skatepark

SSM provided planning and design including landscape architectural and engineering services, of a new 22,000-square-foot concrete skatepark to be constructed on a 1.8-acre vacant lot located on Canal Street in the City of Reading.

Grindline Skateparks, Inc. & Reading Area Skatepark Association

Reading, Pennsylvania

SSM worked with Grindline Skateparks, Inc. of Seattle Washington and the Reading Area Skatepark Association for the planning and design including landscape architectural and engineering services, of a new 22,000-square-foot concrete skatepark to be constructed on a 1.8-acre vacant lot located on Canal Street in the City of Reading. The property once contained residential homes prior to hurricane Agnes flooding the area in the summer of 1972. The project involved preliminary and final land development plans showing a parking area located off of Canal Street, a variety of bowls, ramps and multiple skating surfaces to be constructed of concrete. The project also included engineering services for stormwater management design, NPDES permitting and erosion control plans, electrical lighting design, and geotechnical engineering to accurately determine the contents of the existing fill material on site. Development and permit approvals were required from The City of Reading, PADEP and the Berks County Conservation District.

Boiler Replacement Design

SSM prepared construction documents for the installation of a dual fuel 1,200 HP boiler to replace a 67 year old water tube boiler.

Confidential Client - Data Center

New York

SSM prepared construction documents for the installation of a dual fuel 1,200 HP boiler to replace a 67 year old water tube boiler. The new boiler will provide a better energy efficiency and turndown ratio for off-peak conditions. The project included replacement of two 75,000 lb/hr deaerators with custom deaerators that could be modified to fit the available space.

SSM utilized high definition laser scanning to document existing conditions in the 3 level boiler building. SSM mechanical engineers prepared a detailed flow diagram of existing piping and instrumentation.

The structural scope included design of a boiler access platform, roof modifications for the new stack, and structural support of the economizer located on the third floor. The existing steel was detailed using 3D laser scanning and field measurements to identify scope of removal and replacement of deaerators located on the third floor.

The electrical design included power, instrumentation, and controls. SSM electrical engineers provided a short circuit analysis and breaker coordination study for replacement power systems. The instrumentation and controls was designed to integrate with owners legacy building management system while maintaining owners preferred boiler combustion controls, boiler water level controller, valves, and sensors.

Electrical Analysis

•SSM electrical engineers performed a detailed site survey and analysis of the overall campus electrical distribution system and analyzed the current uses.

Country Day School

St. Croix, US Virgin Islands

SSM electrical engineers performed a detailed site survey and analysis of the overall campus electrical distribution system and analyzed the current uses.
Developed a prioritized list of buildings and uses of power for allocation of emergency backup power. Compared survey data to existing drawings and updated drawings. Prepared a report summarizing the collected data and presented a Master Plan to re-feed and back-up with the newly acquired emergency generator.
