ELA Group Engineers was retained by Warwick Township (Lititz, PA) to develop a plan for a new, cost-effective, and spacious salt shed within the existing municipal campus. Previous planning work performed by ELA Group for the Township included stormwater management for the salt shed project.
Since the site selected for the salt facility was close to a disputed property line, ELA provided surveying as needed to assure there were no conflicts or infringements on property lines or setbacks. This work maximized the available usable area for the Township while also improving the efficiency of the municipal operation.
ELA worked with an outside vendor to determine the appropriate size of the salt shed and the material for the salt shed covering.
After the survey was complete, ELA Engineers sited the 96-foot by 50-foot salt shed facility and maneuvered adjacent storage facilities. They also designed the concrete footers and retaining walls for the salt shed, which provided the necessary storage volume and support for the fabric cover structure.
