PPD Pharmaceutical Parking Garage, Wilmington, NC


CTT provided civil site design for this parking garage as part of the northern downtown revitalization effort in Wilmington, NC. The project consisted of site grading for the ground floor and outside landscaped areas, new utility connections, and realignment of the Front Street and Second Street intersection. Traffic lane and parallel parking spaces were also reconfigured on Second and Brunswick Streets as a requirement of this project.  Design of traffic control for closing Second Street was included. 

 

Stormwater was collected in inlets on the top floor and piped down below the ground floor to be infiltrated via high density polyethylene domed storage units encased in #4 stone. To satisfy City Storm Water Regulations, the two and ten year storm events were attenuated to predevelopment (wooded) flow rates.  The State Storm Water regulations were satisfied by storing the first two inches of rainfall.  Stormwater in excess of these design storms bypass the infiltration system and flows into the City’s storm drain network in Front Street.  Approvals from the City Technical Review Committee (TRC), State Stormwater, and State Erosion Control were obtained for this project.
