West Basin Scour Repairs Phase 3 Construction Project complete
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Memphis District successfully completed a construction project in partnership with the Little River Drainage District in Bollinger County, Missouri.
The West Basin Scour Repairs Phase 3 Construction contract was awarded to SYTE Corporation for $4,613,864 to repair multiple bank scours along four miles of the Castor River Diversion Channel. Diversion channels serve the purpose of helping provide relief for drainage areas along the mainline levee to reduce the amount of flooding which a mainline levee would need to protect, Project Manager Amber Jarnagin said. This diversion channel serves an important purpose for the nearby West Basin Levee. This project was phase three of five for scour projects to help protect the West Basin Levee.
Maison Residences is a mixed use development designed around a heritage-listed hotel in Hunters Hill, NSW. The Hunters Hill Hotel is a local landmark designed by Sydney Ancher, one of Australia’s foremost Modernist architects.
The Maison project involved the refurbishment of the heritage hotel and the addition of 2500 square metres of retail space as well as 41 luxury apartments. With the Hunters Hill Hotel forming the centrepiece of the mixed use development, Squillace Nicholas Architects took care to use design cues from the heritage structure and blend them into Maison’s contemporary fabric, thereby, preserving the original character of the building. New buildings to the north and west of the hotel are separated from it by discreet link structures.
