VA Austell Primary Care Clinic

Client: Department of Veterans Affairs

Location: Marietta, Georgia

EDT Development (EDT-DEV), in conjunction with the EDT Group of Companies, was the Design-Bid-Build-Finance-Leaseback Developer. The EDT group of companies performed complete services for the Austell, GA 14,500 SF Primary Care Clinic for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

This included:

• Selection and purchase of land to fit VA specifications
• Fully financed land acquisition and design-build
• EDT coordinated Architectural, MEP, Structural and Civil with the VA design team and met all of the VA‘s requirements
• Coordinated interior finishes with the VA through design charettes
• Community outreach with concerned citizens
• EDT obtained all relevant permits
• EDT Construction, as General Contractor, managed all construction
• EDT Management is providing ongoing operation and maintenance including, but not limited to janitorial and maintenance separation of the building

EDT had many challenges concerning this project out of which the firm performed the site-civil, including significant detention pond, stormwater and drainage improvements. The facility is located within a triangular shaped 2.73-acre property a with a 30 FT drop in elevation. Due to these significant site constraints, EDT implemented an innovative design solution for the stormwater management system. Final designs included a combination of 60-in stormwater pipes under the main parking lot with an 8-in pipe acting as a discharge orifice for initial detention, a stormwater chamber system under a small parking lot to provide further detention and groundwater discharge and a water quality device to improve runoff.
