Walgreens Development - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The Walgreens development at the intersection of South 27th Street and National Avenue in Milwaukee involved the redevelopment of several existing commercial and residential parcels totaling approximately 1.45 acres. Existing buildings were demolished and an existing public alley way was relocated to accommodate construction of an approximate 14,000 square foot Walgreens retail building and an additional 1,000 square foot retail building with associated parking, drives and infrastructure.

Services provided by Sigma include:

Civil/Site Engineering Sigma prepared site engineering plans and specifications as required for City plan review, permitting and construction including site erosion control plans, site grading/drainage plans, and site utility plans. Sigma also prepared plans for construction of the relocated public alley and for construction of public sidewalk modifications/improvements required to accommodate the project.

Storm Water Management/Permitting Preparation and submittal of the storm water management plan application to the City of Milwaukee including preparation of a storm water maintenance plan for the development. Sigma was also responsible for preparation and submittal of the Notice of Intent for Land Disturbing Activities for the project to the Wisconsin Department of Commerce.

Utility Relocation Coordination The project required relocation of overhead electric, telephone and cable lines which ran through the project site. Sigma took the lead in coordinating rerouting of the utilities between the utility companies (We Energies, SBC, Time-Warner), the developer, and the general contractor.

Site Environmental Services Soils at the project site were contaminated with chlorinated solvents as well as petroleum products. Sigma developed a remediation strategy consisting of limited removal of soil "hot spots" and capping of contaminated soil. The remediation strategy was approved by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Capping of the contaminated soil was achieved by site paving. Design of site utilities was closely coordinated with site environmental issues to avoid running site utilities through contaminated soil areas which would generate contaminated spoils which would have to be properly disposed of off-site. Several previously unidentified underground petroleum storage tanks were discovered at the site during construction. Sigma provided timely mobilization to coordinate removal of these tanks so as not to delay construction.

Construction Staking Sigma provided construction staking services for the project including grade staking, staking of curb and gutter, staking of building foundations, staking of utilities, and staking of light poles.
