Spring Cove School District, Blair County
The Spring Cove School District constructed three new athletic fields at their elementary campus. The project site is a 13.8-acre parcel and includes one baseball field, two new softball fields, and a parking lot. For future development, Keller Engineers’ was asked to include, in the Master Plan, accommodations for press boxes, dugouts, bleachers, and a concession building. Three bioretention basins were designed and installed to manage runoff and future additional impervious.
Project Uniqueness/Challenges: Significant amounts of off-site runoff from the north and south needed to be conveyed around the site to avoid an unnecessary increase in detention. With no defined watercourse in which to discharge, Keller Engineers modified the stormwater approach to incorporate a set of stilling fore-bays and level spreaders to dissipate velocity before the water reaches the neighboring property.
Keller Engineers has been the partnering Engineer firm for Bedford Joint Municipal Authority since 2009. Keller Engineers were a key component in every area from design to construction for the first phase of Shuster Way Heritage trail that was completed in 2015. Our partnership with Keller Engineers continued as we designed and completed the 2nd phase of the Shuster Way Heritage Trail in September of 2023. The staff are professional, passionate, and dedicated to a project from the beginning to completion. On behalf of Bedford Joint Municipal Authority, I would highly recommend Keller Engineers, Inc.
