Design Guidelines
With services provided on over 50 water and wastewater treatment plant projects, we focus on integrating the site within the community with “neighbor-friendly” approaches. We plan and design for adjacent parks and open space, trail and boardwalk design, restoration and native planting plans, site-specific sustainable strategies, and neighborhood mitigation strategies. We work with interdisciplinary design teams to increase acceptance of water/wastewater facility projects through aesthetically pleasing site landscape design and by linking natural resources, recreational opportunities, and people. Working with local, regional, and state government agencies, GreenWorks has provided planning and design services for many infrastructure projects throughout the Northwest ranging from water reservoirs, treatment plants and pump stations to stormwater management and green street facilities.
