Mercedes Benz USA Headquarters, Sandy Springs, Georgia

The Mercedes-Benz USA Headquarters is a 12 acres site consisting of a 205,000 ft 2 office building, parking structure, day care center for their employees, and surface parking. An onsite wet pond was designed for the stormwater management and water quality treatment. Silva Cells, which are underground tree planters for urban water quality treatment, were also used.

This site development required in-depth coordination with adjacent proposed developments throughout the design stage. This project was designed to LEED standards

Serta-Simmons Southeast Headquarters – The Assembly Yards, Doraville, Georgia

Lowe Engineers was responsible for Civil Engineering and Surveying including site layout evaluation, site grading, erosion and sediment control, retaining wall layout, water and sewer utility design, storm sewer design, boundary and topographic surveys, and construction administration services for this Urban Redevelopment of the former Doraville GM plant.

The site also includes three common area courtyards for employee enjoyment or company gatherings. The existing ground was largely concrete slabs from the former General Motors Plant.

This property is the first redevelopment construction site within The Assembly Yards and as such has encountered several surprises. Excavation during construction uncovered concrete piles, a storm sewer line, and high groundwater requiring dewatering. The design of the Serta-Simmons civil package was being done concurrently with The Assembly Yards infrastructure design. The site is surrounded by infrastructure roadways on all sides and maintains an urban feel with minimal building setbacks. Thus, close coordination between the plans and engineering firms were required during the design, local jurisdictional review, and construction.

As part of the design, Lowe addressed several intersections within the project limits. Modifications and upgrades were made with Moreland Avenue (State Route 42) which involved heavy coordination with GDOT District 7. Numerous other intersections were also brought up to GDOT and AASHTO standards as part of the final design with dedicated turn lanes, pedestrian upgrades, and shoulder improvements. A new intersection was also created along with dedicated turn lanes and a full traffic signal design at the location of a new distribution center within the development.

For our personnel safety and in order to save GDOT time and money, our 3D Laser scanner was used to collect data at several locations. Certain sites included the design of temporary detours to maintain the existing traffic during construction and 4,000 feet of roadway improvements. Other sites included a complete re-alignment of the existing roadway to help aid the construction staging cause a lesser impact to residents and travelers. The total scope of work for all the projects included survey, concept development, preliminary plans development, final plans development, right of way plans, and final construction plans and documents.

The Roadway Improvements will involve a slight re-alignment and widening the existing two lanes to increase the capacity for this busy commuter route between Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties. The new 4-lane divided facility will encompass a 44’ depressed median to allow future widening, if necessary. Additional improvements include the addition of sidewalks and replacement and widening of the existing bridge over the Chattahoochee River.
