City Hall Plaza Arcade | Boston, MassachusettsSamiotes Consultants Inc. provided civil engineering services for the arcade project improvements on Boston City Hall Plaza. This project helped define the Cambridge Street edge of the plaza, without completely enclosing the space from the street. The arcade includes three seating platforms extending beyond the existing granite steps down to the plaza. The platforms serve as public seating areas and "stages" for small performances and speakers, as well as display spaces for the farmers market. It was especially important that all walkways and sidewalks continue the paving detail present in City Hall Plaza. |

Austin D. Rhodes Municipal Center | Waltham, MassachusettsSamiotes Consultants Inc. provided land surveying services and site engineering for the city of Waltham. The project included installing stormwater management improvements within the existing Municipal Yard in order to comply with an EPA approved Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan under Phase II of the NPDES permitting program. The project also improved the site’s compliance with the DEP Stormwater Management Guidance. As part of this Phase II compliance, and because it is located outside of city-owned land, the existing materials management area was relocated from the MBTA land to the south of the site to a cleared and previously disturbed area in the northern parcel, east of Chester Brook. While this new development was proposed within a previously degraded portion of the site, stormwater for this area was managed in full compliance with DEP’s Stormwater Management Policy for new construction with a cost-efficient solution. |

Hemlock Terrace | Waltham, MassachusettsSamiotes Consultants Inc. provided civil engineering and land surveying services for the mitigation of flooding problems associated with the drainage channel adjacent to Hemlock Terrace Park. Investigation of the topography and on site conditions was implemented to conclude that remediation of the swale was the most cost effective and logical approach. The channel was graded to a consistent slope and berm breaks were created to help transmit flow through the area. A headwall and trash rack was designed to accept flow and direct it to the city of Waltham’s existing drainage system. Approval from the Conservation Commission was gained for this project. |
