PROJECT OVERVIEW
Project Name: Soils Capping & Park Construction
Location: Maywood, CA
Job Type: Park Restoration & Construction
DESCRIPTION
While completing an unrelated project for the City of Maywood California, city officials were delighted by the high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed by E&E Construction. City officials approached, and eventually contracted E&E to update the city’s, Riverfront Park. The project scope consisted of several renovations and including soils import, slope grading, installation of a multi-zone irrigation system, concrete paths, the build and install of several picnic area pavilions, and much more.
MAIN TASKS
- Slope grading of paths and picnic areas to ensure compliance with American Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.
- Construction and installation of ADA compliant picnic tables, trash receptacles, BBQ grills and bicycle racks.
- Fabrication and installation of a twelve-foot diameter picnic area pavilion.
- Custom build and install stainless steel framed, wire, graffiti walls which extended along the park lot to the LA River.
- Installation of irrigation systems to include the placement of new pipeline, sprinklers, booster pumps and all required valves and controls.
- Placement of new grass/sod over graded landscape.
- Set up and test all irrigation control systems.
CHALLENGES
Compliance — E&E was faced with the task of retrofitting an American Disabilities Act noncompliant park to comply with current ADA requirements.
Adaptation – Combining out of date, non-maintained irrigation controls and valves with new technology.
INTERESTING POINTS
The site was a former superfund project that had been remediated and given back to the city to use in expansion to the existing Riverfront Park.
