Services included planning for the church campus and out-parcel development on 153 acre site previously utilized as a golf course. An analysis of the site for various uses including church campus, retail, assisted living center, senior living condominiums, residential subdivisions, office complex, recreation area and church cemetery was performed. This would provide the church with the necessary information to plan for future growth of the church on the site while allowing portions of the property to be sold to provide capital funds for the development of the road system and utility infrastructure. In addition to the planning services, LDS provided complete civil design services for 1,200 feet of roadway and storm, water, and sanitary infrastructure, Phase 1 of the church campus plan, the youth center, and a 36 unit senior living condominium development aimed at serving the church’s elderly members.

LDS provided civil engineering design services for the new 475 seat Baptist Church located on Dalton Pike in Bradley County, Tennessee. The total site acreage was 100 + acres.

LDS also provided master planning services for the remaining 60+ acres that were not utilized by the church. LDS design services included site layout, building placement, site grading and drainage, storm water system, storm water detention, sanitary sewer, water and general coordination with all disciplines. The site required over 1,000 feet of access road  from the Dalton Pike (State Route 60) and required close coordination with TDOT. An Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit (ARAP) was also required for the access road to cross an exiting creek on the site. The existing site had areas of unsuitable soil and LDS worked closely with the architect and geotechnical consultant to locate the building on the site to minimize undercut and expense. The site earthwork was designed to balance with all borrow areas prepped fro future use as community athletic fields.
