West Boylston, MA – Warner Larson, Inc. was awarded the Goodale Park Open Space Project by the town of West Boylston in October 2009. The town, acting through its Parks Facilities Committee engaged the Professional Landscape Architectural firm for the design and permitting of sitework, drainage improvements, retaining walls and lighting to preserve the deteriorating tennis and basketball courts in Goodale Park.
When asked why his team was selected for this project, David Warner, ASLA, president of Warner Larson said, “I have never seen competition for work more intense than it was in early-mid 2009, and I believe we won this project based on the strong qualifications of our team and value-added services we provide such as 3-D surveying and design.”
At the start of the project Warner turned to his project surveyor, Harry R. Feldman, Inc. to obtain 3D existing conditions data in an effort to fully illustrate the dramatic topography and understand any drainage issues. Warner Larson then developed a 3D model as a design tool to evaluate different options and to show the possibilities for the park improvements. This realistic representation of the proposed design proved essential in the public support and fundraising.
Steven M. Wilkes, Director of Feldman’s scanning program commented, “We are always excited to utilize this cutting edge technology to help our business partners succeed. ….. We are thrilled that our client Warner Larson was able to win this project because of their expertise, experience and vision in utilizing 3D presentations.”
