TYLin | Silman Structural Solutions’ Post

We are excited to share that McMillan Sand Filtration Site, now known as Reservoir Park, has opened in Washington, D.C.! The 20-acre urban parcel was the site of Washington DC’s first large water filtration facility dating back to 1905. The project included #preservation of all above grade industrial structures and the adaptive reuse of some of the original below grade unreinforced concrete vaults used to filter the water through a slow sand filtration process. TYLin | Silman Structural Solutions was involved from the early investigation and public engagement phases through the development of the design before handing off to a Design Build Team. TYLin | Silman Structural Solutions performed an investigation of the unreinforced concrete vaulted structures, including field condition surveys and analysis to identify the origin of the existing damage and evaluate structural feasibility for future reuse of these unique industrial structures. TYLin continues to service the project with the design and construction of the traffic ramps and pedestrian walkways at the East and West sides of the North Corridor, alongside Bowman Consulting and CGLA. Thanks to all involved!
