Sunset Hills, MO · Highways & Roads · Client: City of Sunset Hills, Missouri
This project involved 1.5 miles of mill and overlay, widening, sidewalk additions, and a new storm sewer design. To fulfill Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District requirements, the design incorporated rain gardens as water quality facilities along the widened roadway.
Weldon Spring, MO · Highways & Roads · Client: City of Weldon Spring
Hart Engineering performed utility coordination, addressed agency comments, and conducted drafting as a subconsultant. The project featured 900 linear feet of three-lane roadway extension, a trail, sidewalks, curb and gutter, a retaining wall, and stormwater design.
DeSoto, MO · Highways & Roads · Client: City of DeSoto, Missouri
Hart Engineering served as a subconsultant on this roadway improvement project. The scope involved utility coordination, drafting, and addressing agency feedback.
St. Louis, MO · Stormwater & Flood Control · Client: City of St. Louis, Missouri
Replacement of brick and patched pavements with permeable pavers across three alleys south of Tower Grove Park. The pervious pavement reduces stormwater runoff entering the combined sewer system, increasing pipe capacity and mitigating local flooding risks.
