SLC CERCLA Storage – VA Medical Center Site Design

Salt Lake City, Utah

HCF provided civil site design services for a CERCLA storage facility at the George E. Wahlen Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The project required a detailed layout design to maximize the available area allotted by the VA, incorporating a 50-foot turning radius to accommodate large vehicles loading and unloading soil samples. An alternative drive-through configuration was also designed to provide additional operational flexibility.

HCF’s scope included surveying all existing site features, designing a concrete pad at appropriate grading and slope to conform with existing conditions, and coordinating around significant utility conflicts including 30-inch and 36-inch storm drains owned by Salt Lake City Public Utilities and a 6-inch gas line requiring 36 inches of vertical separation. The final design fit three connex box containers between an existing light pole and storm drain manhole while maintaining required clearances. HCF also managed the acquisition of all applicable environmental permits throughout the project.
