This project included the demolition and filling of the existing Memorial Pool to construct an at grade water park. This new spray park was noted by RainDrop, Inc., equipment provider, as one of the largest of its kind on the east coast.
The new park includes shaded perimeter seating, along with the construction of a new pavilion and the renovation of an existing pavilion. Additionally, the project involved design and construction of a 3,600 SF playground, resurfacing of an existing basketball court, a pavilion, ADA accessibility, and parking.
Project Uniqueness/Challenges: Coordination of specialized equipment, plumbing and electrical systems, and retrofitting of the existing mechanical room.
Penn Cambria School District has collaborated the last 4 years with the Keller Engineer’s team to complete a multi-phased paving and drainage project on our HS campus. I have personally worked with Adam Long, Brian Smith and Shawn Ritchey throughout the entire project and they made Penn Cambria feel like we were their only client. The personal attention to our needs and specific details of this project were second to none. The communication aspect of the Keller Engineer Team was outstanding. We trust their process, their design and their commitment to a quality project that when completed, we are all very proud of. Bill Marshall, Superintendent Penn Cambria School District
