Agency Landscape + Planning contracted Accura to conduct a geotechnical subsurface exploration at Boulevard Crossing Park. The planned development will consist of a new park, which includes a park maintenance facility with a footprint of approximately 3,966 sf, two rest room buildings near by the soccer field and football field, and  a pavilion with a mechanical pump room with associated parking areas and retaining wall. A precast concrete board walk, bike rack, precast concrete wall, concrete paving for vehicle, soccer field and football field will also be constructed on the area of the site. Accura’s scope of work included: 1) Provide general descriptions of the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions at the site 2) Provide foundation and floor slab design recommendations for proposed buildings 3) Provide foundation recommendations for the concrete board walk and the retaining walls 4) Provide pavement section design recommendations for the planned parking and drive areas 5) Comment on the site development aspects of the proposed construction related to cut and fill across the area to be developed. The subsurface exploration program consisted of seventeen Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings. The borings were advanced to termination depths ranging from 15 feet to 25 feet below the existing ground surface near the proposed buildings footprint, overlook area, skate park, soccer and football field, board walk, retaining walls footprint, dog park area, and parking and driveway area. After field testing and data collection, a report was prepared to include report presents our understanding of the project, reviews our exploration procedures, describes the general subsurface conditions at the boring locations, and presents our evaluations, conclusions, and recommendations. All work was completed under the direct supervision of a registered professional geotechnical engineer.

Our Role in the Mission

Accura played a key role in wetlands delineation, permitting, and environmental surveys to facilitate the repair and expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure. Our comprehensive approach included:

Conducting on-site investigations to assess environmental impact.

Preparing detailed permit applications for:

  • Stream stabilization/restoration across three critical water bodies&
  • The repair, replacement, and construction of new water and wastewater pipelines, including stream and wetland crossings.

Surveying threatened and endangered species, including the rare small whorled pogonia and wood turtle.

Modifying existing permits to meet updated compliance needs.

Challenges We Overcame

Working across the dynamic landscape of Fort Belvoir required:
Conducting compliance inspections under stringent environmental regulations.
Balancing infrastructure needs with environmental preservation.
Addressing multiple stream and wetland impacts (4-5 in total).

The Impact

Our work not only ensured compliance but also played a part in protecting the delicate ecosystem of Fort Belvoir. From securing permits to restoring streams, we enabled the U.S. Army to move forward with confidence, knowing their construction efforts align with their commitment to environmental stewardship.
