Repairs at Johnston Reservoir in Clement Park - Littleton, Colorado

Construction is just about complete for the repairs we designed around Johnston Reservoir. Our plans included over 200 linear feet of riprap stabilization along the bank that includes new wetland plantings. Also included in this project were repairs around each of the fishing piers that repaired the concrete approach, stabilized the bank immediately next to the pier, and wetland planting. Due to the cold winter, the planting will be completed in the spring.

On the boards - several locations

We are starting work on several projects. Preliminary plans for the Westside Line Trail have been approved and we are starting construction documents. This crusher fines trail will run between 15th St. and 19th St., parallel to the South Platte River.

Preliminary construction documents are in the works for Civic Center Park in Denver. Our role in this project is renovating a plaza area between the Greek Theater to Voorhies Memorial.

Construction documents are in production for the East Caley/Little Dry Creek Trail for South Suburban Parks and Recreation District and the City of Centennial.
