Main Street Streetscape

HWC has provided survey, design, coordination, and construction inspection services for four phases of streetscape along Main Street in downtown Lafayette. Goals of the project were to maximize pedestrian space and allow locations for outdoor dining and public art by introducing bumpouts. Project components include new sidewalk, special paving, street trees, stormwater planters, and installation of decorative bike racks, benches, and trash receptacles. Custom decorative crosswalk surface systems and decals were designed for the farmer’s market and other intersection treatments.

HWC provided survey and design services to upgrade Mays Park. These updates were made to honor the existing park amenities while bringing in new, much needed facilities to the neighborhood. A new pedestrian crossing at 10th Street has become the epicenter of the park’s revitalization that includes a splash pad, playground, restrooms, a shade structure, a walking trail, and a new parking lot on the north side. A new tennis and pickleball court, restrooms, a shade structure, and a revitalized skate park and basketball courts were provided on the south side.

Murphy Aquatic Park

HWC’s Landscape Architecture group and Survey team worked closely with the Washington Township Parks and Recreation to design the regional Murphy Aquatic Park in Avon, Indiana. The park is the largest capital project for the Washington Township Parks Department and solidified the park’s position as a regional destination in central Indiana.

It includes a state-of-the-art aquatic facility with a wave pool, activity pool with an inclusive play feature and slide tower, cabanas and shade structures, concessions, and a pool house. In addition to the aquatic facility, the park features wooded and natural areas with trails, fishing pond, sled hill, and inclusive playground.   

This project won the Merit Award for Constructed Works over $2 million from the Indiana Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects (INASLA) in 2023. This award recognizes outstanding projects completed by organizations in Indiana to raise standards of excellence and heighten public appreciation of quality landscape architecture.

Pike Place 

After several buildings were demolished along a main downtown corridor, the City of Crawfordsville decided to transform the gravel lot into a central gathering space. HWC teamed with KJG Architects to complete the survey, design, and construction documents. Components of the park include a stage, custom public restroom building, event lawn, custom brick pillars with metal farmers market gates, site furnishings, landscaping, and decorative site lighting. Now consistently programmed, the space has become a central hub for community activities.

CSO Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) Phases 1 & 2

HWC completed an updated CSO Long-Term Control Plan (LTCP) for the City of Clinton’s combined sewer system.

The study included mapping and evaluation of the City’s combined sanitary and storm sewer system, evaluation of the City’s wastewater treatment facility capacity, coordination of flow monitoring, development of a combined sewer system SWMM model for use in analysis of alternatives, evaluation of alternatives, and preparation and presentation of the report. 

The plan, which was required by the City’s NPDES permit, recommended improvements to control the volume and frequency of combined sewer overflows in the City’s system. The plan was approved by IDEM in December 2011. A State Revolving Fund (SRF) Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was prepared in 2013 for Phase I work. 

HWC is completing survey services, engineering design, and management of all LTCP recommended improvements. 

Phase 1, which consisted of floatable control screening, wastewater treatment facility headworks modifications, combined sewer separation via new storm sewers and outfall consolidation, was completed in 2016. 

The plan is based on a 20-year implementation schedule and will reduce the six existing overflows to three. Multiple areas of combined sewer separation are planned via installation of new storm sewers. Based on SWMM model results and financial analysis, the $10.5 million plan will require a Use Attainability Analysis (UAA) at the conclusion of implementation based on use of the presumptive approach for CSO control.
