Bunker and Savage Architects contracted with SJR Engineering to assist with application materials and project site design for the “New Gloucester Public Safety Building”. Use of the building is for public safety, housing fire trucks and related apparatus within a garage area. A portion of the building is reserved for meeting rooms, offices, kitchen area, and bunk rooms for public safety personnel. The building is served by a well, small septic system, and underground electricity. Accommodating the heating needs with above ground gas and cooling needs with air conditioning units are integral components of the building plan.

Tom Manning, Owner of the Miss Portland Diner, consult with SJR Engineering regarding the site development potential of a re-located Miss Portland Diner between Marginal Way and Route 295 along the Portland corridor. The small 6,500 sq ft lot afforded little room with regard to the development potential of the site. The shoehorn fit complements the needs of the surrounding neighborhood and the defined budget considerations.

MaineGeneral Medical Center (Rick Albert – Director of Engineering) had determined the need for additional parking to best serve the hospital’s patient volume. This type of project lies fully within the capabilities and experiences of SJR Engineering. For this project, street parking along Arsenal Street was removed by the City of Augusta for access and safety reasons. This resulted in additional demand for parking at the facility within the existing lots. In 2001, MaineGeneral Medical Center constructed a satellite parking facility (SJR Engineering design) at the former Augusta Lumber Company site. SJR Engineering expanded the original design by adding 70 more parking stalls.

The Kibby Wind Power Project will be the largest wind power development in New England, providing enough clean, renewable energy for the equivalent of 50,000 average Maine homes. The 44 wind turbines will be capable of producing 132 megawatts of electricity. TransCanada worked closely with major environmental groups in Maine from the inception of the project, applying results of environmental and technical studies to minimize environmental and other impacts. SJR Engineering served as Third Party Inspector to the project. Click below for additional information, including a link to TransCanada’s website for further detail.
