Since 2017, Hussey Gay Bell has been working with SEDA in conjunction with an associate engineer to design Phase I infrastructure for its GRAD-certified 740-acre Phase I tract of its new manufacturing park on Old River Road in west Chatham County.  Phase I development consisted of all infrastructure and site development for 740-acres which was master planned for between 3.25 million and 3.5 million square feet of industrial building space at full build-out. Hussey Gay Bell’s Phase IA responsibilities included master planning, design and permitting of all onsite utilities and infrastructure including 1,800 LF of 30” FVPC water main installed via HDD, 16” water main, 12” and 8” gravity sewer main, 1,760 LF of 24” HDPE sewer force main installed via HDD, 6” force main, 1.0 MGD elevated storage tank, 2,000 GPM well and two lift stations including one regional lift station serving a remote portion of the site and one multi-phased 2,500 GPM master pump station with provision to expand to 5,300 GPM to serve the 740-acre site.  All Phase IA infrastructure is complete and in service.  Phase IB including the new 1.0 MGD elevated storage tank and 2,000 GPM well in addition to the off-site utilities which includes 36,000 LF of both 30” water main and 24” sewer force main is currently under construction.
