February 25, 2006 - Moore Engineering Receives Honors

Moore Engineering, Inc. was recently honored by the North Dakota Council of Engineering Companies for engineering excellence in water resources for the Eagle Run/Rendezvous Park Interconnected Storm Water Retention System in West Fargo and in transportation for the 13th Avenue West Reconstruction Project also in West Fargo.

 

The Eagle Run/Rendezvous Park Interconnected Storm Water Retention System was designed to control storm water runoff during large rainfall events and introduce water quality measures for storm water for a rapidly growing area while providing for aesthetics within park areas. It also includes a natural rock formation, waterfall and meandering creek outlet for one of the ponds.

 

The 13th Avenue West Reconstruction Project consisted of replacing an existing rural roadway section with no pedestrian facilities with an urbanized concrete street with decorative street lights, trees, bushes, medians, and pedestrian walkways all designed to produce traffic calming and provide a pedestrian friendly environment through the City's central park.

 

The Eagle Run/Rendezvous Park Interconnected Storm Water Retention System also received the “Gold Star Award” in the Path and Trails Category from the North Dakota Ready Mix & Concrete Products Association.
