Virginia Tech Marching Virginians Practice Field and Facility

Under an active Term Contract, T&L designed a new practice field and facility for the Marching Virginians.

T&L’s services included Architecture, MEP, Structural and civil engineering.

As part of the site/civil engineering scope of this project, T&L provided design services for the following:

• A hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the existing open and closed stormwater collection systems and water quality BMPs over an area of approximately 60 acres;
• New stormwater management systems, including water quantity and water quality BMPs were designed to accommodate the new facilities and rectify inadequacies of the existing stormwater management systems;
• New 100,800 SF (80 yards by 140 yards) artificial turf field for shared use by the band and Recreational Sports department
  for soccer and similar sports;
• 100,000 SF extended detention basin designed to accommodate future improvements;
• Routes to accommodate emergency vehicles, pedestrians, and accessibility; and
• Utilities (potable water, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, electric service and fiber optic cable).

Virginia Tech Dairy Barn Relocation

The Virginia Tech Foundation procured English Construction Company to provide Design Build services for the relocation of the Dairy School to a new and relocated Dairy Facility to located at the Kentland Farm property. T&L and Five-G Consulting provided full service and specialized design services for a the new and relocated Dairy Facility.

As part of the site civil engineering scope for this project, T&L performed the following services:

• Hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the existing open and closed stormwater collection systems over an area of approximately 1,050 acres;
• Evaluating nineteen (19) sinkholes, natural and manmade open stormwater conveyance channels and multiple single, dual and triple barrel culverts;
• Design of new channels and culverts; and
• Design of open and closed stormwater collection systems to convey stormwater from the 34 acre facility to an extended detention basin. The basin provides water quantity control for downstream channels and water quality treatment for approximately 40 acres.

Virginia Community College System Master Plans

Virginia Community College System Master Plans

T&L has completed many Master Plans and Master Plan updates through the years on Higher Education institutions. Most recently, T&L completed a Master Plan Updates for Southside Virginia Community College, Wytheville Community College (123 Acres), and Southwest Virginia Community College (131 acres). As part of the site engineering for these Master Plan updates, T&L evaluated the stormwater management system in accordance with new (2014) DEQ Regulations. These evaluations included:

• Developing an inventory of the existing system;
• Performing hydrologic and hydraulic analysis of the existing system;
• Performing runoff reduction method spreadsheet calculations;
• Planning stormwater management (water quantity/water quality) including identifying options for stormwater best management practices (BMPs) that can be utilized for future development/growth at the campus.
