Oral Surgery Kansas was looking for a new location to house their growing practice. A local architecture firm working with the Owner reached out to BG Consultants to join the team providing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design services for the project.
Working closely with the City of Emporia and Quik Trip, BG Consultants developed a long-range development plan for a large-scale mixed-use development on the north side of the I-35 & US-50 interchange and west of Graphic Arts Rd. in Emporia, KS.
The City of Atchison had combined sanitary/storm sewers (CSS). Dry period wastewater flows flow uneventfully directly to the wastewater treatment plant. Rainfall contributed stormwater runoff to the CSS. The resulting combined flows can exceed the collection system capacity and the City is treating stormwater runoff at the wastewater treatment. During wet times the City was producing CSS overflows. The City is under Kansas Department of Health and Environment mandate to separate CSS flows to reduce or eliminate combined sewer overflows.
The North Campus Corridor Detention project consisted of the design and construction of two individual detention basins north of Kimball Avenue between College Avenue and Denison Avenue. The basins were designed in order to reduce the proposed flow as a result of future development along the Kimball Avenue corridor. The basins resulted in a total impoundment area of 13.76 acres for the 100-year storm frequency.
City of Emporia contracted with BG Consultants, Inc. to evaluate three lift stations in their sanitary sewer collection system. Included in these were stations 1 and 2, two of the largest stations in the system, both capable of pumping in excess of 1,600 gallons per minute. Lift Station 2 was submitted for grant funding to the Kansas Department of Commerce - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program and received $700,000 in grant funding.
BG Consultants, Inc. partnered with BHS Construction on a design-build delivery for the new Control Service Company office.

In 2015 BG was contracted to assist the City of Horton with improvements to their Wastewater Treatment Facility due to effluent permit limitation violations with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. After conducting a study that identified options for improvement and replacement, it was concluded that replacement was the best option due to the existing facilities' condition.
BG Consultants worked with Schultz Construction to design a commercial Planned Unit Development (PUD) in Manhattan, intended to accommodate growing demand for professional and outpatient care offices. Over a multi-phase project, BG has provided a full range of architectural and engineering services. To date, our team has designed the core and shell for seven buildings and the associated parking lots, grading, and water, wastewater, and stormwater systems.
