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.

We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction.  I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients.
