Beverly S. Sheffield Northwest District Park Aquatic Facility PARD – Austin Austin, Texas
Project Description:
The City of Austin new pool amenities include a 50-meter lap lane pool, zero-entry toddler pool, two shade structures, bench seating, diving board, family restrooms, renovated bath houses, new pool fence and entrance gate, new entrance plaza area, LED deck lights, pool lights, renovated lawn space, trees and ornamental planting. Guerra design services included erosion & sediment controls, grading and drainage, and public and private water and wastewater design. This pool facility is a participant in the Sustainable SITE Initiative. This site provided unique challenges in that the facility is located within a 100-yr floodplain and an existing detention pond. Guerra coordinated with City Watershed and Floodplain staff, and civil design demonstrated that the proposed improvements to this facility would not have an adverse impact to the existing floodplain or the detention volumes being provided pre-construction. This site is also located near an existing pond which the adjacent neighborhood and park users refer to as the “Duck Pond”. Guerra provided erosion and sediment control design to ensure that the “duck pond” was protected from siltation and soil migration during construction activities.
