Pennoni provided civil/site, geotechnical, environmental, survey, and supplemental topographic survey data to support site design and ADA compliant curb ramps.
4) AstraZeneca, Frederick, MD
AstraZeneca is a global, science-led biopharmaceutical company. This 1.3 MW photovoltaic solar array project was completed on AstraZeneca’s manufacturing campus in Frederick, MD. The project meets AstraZeneca’s sustainability goals to source 100% renewable power globally by 2025 and offsets the new facility’s purchased power with clean solar energy.
Pennoni completed the design-build of this ground-mount solar array and our services included survey, structural, MEP, and civil design as well as land development services through Planning Commission approvals. Pennoni completed the full array design, oversaw electric utility interconnection approvals and construction management, and commissioned the array installation.
5) Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care, Philadelphia, PA
The Buerger Center for Advanced Pediatric Care revolutionizes care for children, standing as the nation’s most state-of-the-art facility for outpatient medicine. The 12-story Buerger Center has been designed to reduce stress for patients and their families and provide a smooth, efficient experience.
Pennoni’s services included survey, environmental, civil/site, and transportation engineering for field investigations, preparation of reports, and preparation of plans addressing the implementation for the design, permitting and construction of the new facility.
Pennoni designed and obtained approvals for the innovative, award winning stormwater management system which included four stormwater tanks and three irrigation tanks. The tanks provide more than 115,000 gallons of storage. The stormwater management was supplemented with green roofs and landscaping which act as the initial catchment for the first inch of runoff.
