Creating an Access Road for the National Park Service
Chattahoochee River
The National Park Service (NPS) owns and operates the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area (CRNRA) located north of the City of Atlanta, Georgia on the banks of the Chattahoochee River.
R2T assisted the NPS with the design and construction of the Hewlett Field access road and a pedestrian trail at the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area in Sandy Springs, Georgia.
The goal of this project is to provide a designated access road conducive to the Hewlett Field area of the Island Ford Unit of the park. The current access road is; gravel, poorly routed, incongruously contoured, and used only as an emergency/administrative access to the field.
In addition, the NPS tasked R2T with design build of an existing trail to the Chattahoochee River. The existing trail was a dirt trail with limited handicap access. The trail provides a gentler slope, handrail, and landings every 40 ft of the trail to improve handicap access. In addition, pervious/porous concrete landing was added at the end of the trail.
For both projects, R2T worked with the NPS to develop and optimize the most cost effective solution.
As part of the design activities, R2T completed environmental assessment statement for both components of the project.
Tasks included:GIS Mapping, Data Retrieval, Work Order Management, Database Integration
