Every property faces challenges.
At Resource Controls, we work with our clients to turn challenges into positive attributes to create successful, profitable,
and environmentally sensitive developments.

Site Design - We work closely with Landscape Architects
in this area but frequently we retain total control over the site
design especially in commercial and industrial projects. Detention and
retention ponds in commercial developments are our specialty as they
are part of the overall site drainage; an integral part of a shopping
enter, for example, with acres of parking.
Drainage -
As development and population growth increases so does the amount of impervious surface in urban areas and consequently the issue of storm water collection is becoming more critical. Many of the existing systems in the North East United States are a hundred years old and are both inadequately sized and in need of repair. We have rehabilitated miles of storm water systems and designed new collection and disposal networks for several communities as well as undertaken BMP design and management. |

Land Development - Residential development projects undertaken by the
company range from 5 lots to 240 lots and from condominiums to single
family homes. The smaller projects are often extensions to existing
streets but as development moves further away from urban cores there
is an increasing need for the design of projects with complete, stand
alone infrastructure.
One such project that we undertook, Rushmore
(now known as Brigadoon) in Orange County, New York State is a 240
unit development on 484 acres. The steep wooded land did not lend
itself to the urban regulations of the Town's Master Plan, so we
worked closely with the developer and the Town and succeeded in saving
hundreds of thousands of dollars in construction by making changes
which retained some of the rural character of the property. We reduced
the width of the collector road, we used Cape Cod curbs instead of
concrete curbing, we designed a mostly open drainage system which kept
excess water on the site, enhancing the recharge areas and we designed
a Modulair wastewater treatment plant which surpassed the effluent
limitations set by the state for discharge into a trout spawning
stream. The land was a foraging area for the timber rattlesnake, a
threatened species in New York State, and, working with a
herpetologist we designed a snake fence to separate the open land from
the development. Approximately 240 acres of open land was donated to
the Nature Conservancy and both the rattlesnakes and the people were
protected. |
