The work for the first contract of the Ohio Riverfront Cincinnati, Ohio project will take place at a two level public open space near the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. It is immediately adjacent to the historic Roebling Bridge abutment and its recently added approach. To the north, east, and south, independent projects are being constructed in association with the Banks development including roadway improvements, multiuse development buildings with subsurface parking garages, and a realigned/reconstructed roadway. The construction work will require a significant amount of coordination amongst neighboring building project teams and City agencies. Construction staging is located south of the project limits, construction entrances are to the north and south. Specifically, an existing asphalt/concrete parking lot will be replaced; existing lagging and pile walls and an intricate web of existing underground utilities as well as a network of abandoned piles will be worked into upper and lower level park spaces. The two park spaces will be connected by way of stairways and an elevator. The lower level park sits within the 50 year floodway. The local sponsor has constructed a grid of 24inch diameter auger cast piles. The piles will support a 52' x 184' park building housing a fountain equipment room; an area of which is dedicated to public restrooms (24' x 40') and other future uses. The exposed facades of the building will be clad in 3inch granite, 3inch sandstone and metal panels. Its structure will include concrete pile caps, concrete floors, concrete columns and a concrete roof structure. The building's MEP system includes a geothermal well field and other specialized equipment. The building's interior consists of glazed concrete masonry units, stainless steel fixtures and a specialized suspended ceiling system in addition to a network of pumps, filters, tanks, chemical equipment and a control system shared by all three water features. Four feet above the building's insulated and waterproofed roof sits the upper level plaza and includes a customized elevator with glass doors within a stone/metal/glass tower sized to house exhaust ventilation and elevator equipment, a 34' square computer programmable interactive water feature with 41 jets, a 100' long custom fabricated steel pergola with structural glass paving and three 8' x 10' structural glass paved balconies sporting a computer programmable water curtain cascading into a basin 15' below, site furnishings/lighting including custom stainless steel guardrails, and irrigated tree planting areas utilizing an engineered structural soil matrix. A 15' wide x 40' long subsurface utility vault will be provided to service this project as well as future phases and adjacent ongoing construction projects. Two inch and 3inch granite pavers cover the remaining area. A stairway with stainless steel lighted handrails 22' to 40' wide descends 18'. The solid granite stair treads are centered between a 20' to 28' wide water cascade to the west and a 10' wide water cascade to the east; each including programmable features. In addition, an irrigated tree planting area sits 4' above the stair structure within a stair landing. The lower level park plaza includes 10' to 40' wide stairways and a 60' long sloped walk connecting the park to the neighboring public roadway. A 100' long loggia directly below the pergola provides protected access to the fountain equipment building and public restrooms. Ten foot to 50' long x 1' wide water basins include computer programmable features. Solid and clad stone walls, site furnishings/lighting, an 8' x 15' irrigated tree planting area, 2inch and 3inch granite pavers as well as concrete paving are also included in the construction.
