The former Graduate Hospital campus was redeveloped into 155 luxury apartment homes, a physical rehabilitation facility and an acute care hospital. The project required reconstruction of the existing parking lot to support the modification of uses. Nave Newell completed an ERSA application, Conceptual SWM approval, Technical SWM approval and coordination with the Geotechnical Consultant and PWD staff to prepare a custom stormwater trench designed to address restrictions from existing buried debris and a clay layer prohibiting infiltration of stormwater. Nave Newell provided grading, drainage and stormwater management and construction support during the stormwater trench installation to assist the contractor and geotechnical consultant in certifying the custom trench design was in accordance with the approved drawings and PWD specifications.

Dallett, Thornbury Townships, Chester & Delaware Counties, PA
Orleans property falls within two Zoning Districts in two Municipalities and Counties. The resulting plan consists of Greenbriar II, an 82-unit townhouse community, which connects to the existing Greenbriar development on the adjoining property and The Preserve at Squire Cheyney Farm, a 39-unit single family home community, which preserved the existing Squire Cheyney Farmhouse and outbuildings.
Working closely with PaDEP and both Townships, Nave Newell assisted the client’s attorneys and sewer consultants in the design and permitting of the sewage system, which crossed the County/Municipal boundary and required an intermunicipal agreement. Nave Newell also prepared a stormwater management design to voluntarily comply with both Townships’ pending Act 167 Plans, while obtaining a CLOMR from FEMA and multiple General Permits from PaDEP for two road crossings of Cheyney Run, which bisects the property. Nave Newell also obtained E&S approvals from the Delaware County Conservation District and the Chester County Conservation District along with obtaining a General NPDES Permit for the project. Nave Newell also assisted during construction with houseline stakeout and permit plan preparation.
