About The Project
Burian & Associates was retained by a local developer to provide civil site design and construction services for a commercial property on 42nd Street South that includes two stories of commercial space, a concrete parking lot, sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping improvements. The existing site was located in the FEMA regulated floodplain which required design and construction to follow the City of Fargo floodplain development regulations. The building and adjacent landscaping were designed to minimum elevations which allowed the developer to apply for a LOMR (Letter of Map Revision) through FEMA, which minimized flood insurance burdens to the property owner.
Burian & Associates completed the floodplain analysis, site elevation designs, and construction observation of grading operations to verify that the project was built to minimum requirements.
