ELA Group Engineers worked with Warwick Township (Lititz, PA) to improve the municipality’s woody waste facility. Improvements were needed at the site for both design and stormwater management. The area near the facility had a history of flooding in major storm events.
The facility, used by the community and township to collect and recycle woody waste, was designed to be easy to use for the community and easy to maintain by the township. The facility was improved with fencing, lighting, fence gate controls, gravel, macadam paving, and concrete walls to form stockpile areas for compost materials. ELA Group Engineers designed and coordinated stormwater improvements, including adding swales, an infiltration trench, a detention basin, and proper grading.
The design improved drainage and minimized flooding, and construction was coordinated with the neighboring Lancaster Airport Runway expansion project.
