River Mill Park is a 1.1-acre park located within the Town of Occoquan immediately adjacent to the Occoquan River. Since 1967 this site has been an industrial area and home to five (5) one-million-gallon storage tanks owned by the Fairfax County Water Authority. As the lead for the design and construction administration, GROUPE worked closely with many stakeholders to construct River Mill Park over a large portion of the existing underground storage tanks. This complex project would not have been successful without working and communicating closely with, the Fairfax County Water Authority, Prince William County, VDOT, public and private dry utility providers, the architect, the general contractor and several other consultants.
This park project transformed what was an industrial area into a usable park that overlooks the Occoquan River. Amenities include a bathroom building, an 800-square-foot pavilion, an extended pedestrian trail and improvements to a pedestrian bridge over the Occoquan River. Overall services provided by GROUPE included planning, engineering, surveying and construction administration. Subconsultants included architectural, geotechnical, structural and wetlands.
