Parks & Sports Facilities
Binnie provides a complete range of consulting services for parks and sports facilities to various municipal and private sector clients. As Project Managers and Civil Engineers, we are able to provide added value to our clients and their projects in a number of areas. Our services include project management, site planning, survey, detailed design and contract administration. We have acted as the prime consultant on a number of large and small parks and sports facility projects. We have also participated in the design/build project delivery process, both as the Owner's Consultant and as part of a Contractor/Consultant team.
We provide the following services for park and sport facility projects:
Project Cost Management
We consider cost management to be an extremely important component of every project. We have developed systems for tracking and managing costs that can be adapted to meet the client's reporting needs, through every phase of a project from the conceptual planning and design stages through construction completion. Our clients are kept up to date on total costs throughout the various project stages so that changes can be made to the project budget or scope if necessary.
Site Planning and Design
We are knowledgeable about current standards for parks, sports fields (natural and synthetic turf), athletic facility layout, site programming and planning, and related works. Our services include the preparation of conceptual and detailed designs, reports, feasibility studies, project costing, as well as preparation of presentation materials such as colour drawings and information boards for public meetings and open houses.
Drainage Design
Stormwater management and siltation control are important parts of virtually every project. Our engineers who are highly trained in the current stormwater management techniques and principles. Our services include the design of in-field drainage systems, detention and biofiltration ponds, storm sewers, flood control, overland flow routing, siltation control during construction, and many other drainage-related works.
Irrigation Design
We provide design and inspection for all field and site irrigation systems including water connections, water servicing and flow, and pressure control systems.
Contract Administration
We have substantial experience as Contract Administrators. Our services include specification writing, contract document preparation, tendering, inspection, measurement for payment, review of contractor payments and payment certification, survey layout and as-built drawing preparation.
Site Grading Design
Our approach to site grading includes the incorporation of the specific project requirements with drainage, geotechnical, aesthetic, safety and cost concerns. Our advanced computer software allows us to incorporate our electronic topographic survey, balance cuts and fills, accurately determine excavation and backfill volumes, as well as identify any encroachment of cutting or filling onto adjacent properties. Our methodology maximizes project benefits while minimizing construction costs.
Survey
We have several fully equipped survey crews who are experienced in topographic and construction surveys. Maintaining in-house survey capability allows Binnie to maintain quality and scheduling control of this important project element and allows the cost-effective integration of all survey data into design plans.
Consultant Teams
Most projects typically require a coordinated team of specialized consultants. We have the expertise to assemble a team of consultants on our client's behalf for the project. Because of the unique requirements of park and sport facility projects, we have developed strong relationships with Landscape Architects for soft landscaping works such as plantings and growing media and also for any specialized decorative hard landscaping that may be required. As Civil Engineers, we also have long standing working relationships with consultants who are usually required on site development projects such as geotechnical engineering firms for the soil investigations and materials testing, environmental consultants, structural engineers and electrical and lighting consultants.
