Description
Moody Engineering provided site civil engineering for the renovation and addition of an existing 12,000 SF facility to house offices and garage space for the Central Ohio Transit Authority. The building was renovated to meet the requirements of the Street and Remote department over the next 20 to 25 years. This included an 8,000 SF addition and 2,000 SF mezzanine. In addition, the design will meet all requirements to run Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicles in this facility.

Extensive review of the existing on-site utilities and drainage conditions was required to determine available capacity, adequate servicing and drainage control around the proposed improvements. Stormwater quality improvements were made to assist in obtaining LEED Silver certification as well as to meet the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency and City of Columbus. City of Columbus “CC” permit documents and a project stormwater manual were prepared for City review and approval of the storm sewer improvements.
