OLDER PROJECTS
Baxter Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Car Dealership, Omaha, NE
The project involved the development of an 6 acre lot into a large car dealership building and parking lot. The challenge on this project was that the site was situated on a 8% slope. Blakeman Engineering minimized slope issue with strategically placed retaining walls and yet provided a continuous drive from bottom of hill directly to dealership. This was achieved without the loss of valuable parking stalls for vehicle inventory. Our involvement in the project included: design of the site water and sewer; retaining wall design; off-site roadway improvements; drainage and erosion control design; grading design; and permitting.
