Featured Projects

Lake Winnebago Lake & Community Expansion

Lake Winnebago, MO

Lake Winnebago Lake & Community Expansion

RIC is the engineering program manager and design engineer on the Lake Winnebago Expansion project. Developer and land owner, Randy Spalding, selected RIC to be the lead consulting firm to help him achieve his dream of turning his 420 acre property just south of Lake Winnebago into an extension of the lake and subdivision. The lake and community expansion increased the overall lake surface area by 54% and added 323 residential lots as well as 10 acres of commercial space.

The existing Missouri State Highway 291 (M‑291) also had to be widened and the intersection at 167th Street had to be redesigned to increase capacity. The M291 project included the design of the intersection of MoDOT Route 291 and 167th Street in Lake Winnebago, MO. Design included the widening of ½ mile of Route 291 to accommodate the addition of a Southbound left-turn lane and a Northbound right-turn lane onto 167th Street. It also included the widening of 167th Street to accommodate dedicated left and right turn lanes onto Route 291.

Turner District Activities Center

Kansas City, KS

Turner District Activities Center

RIC provided professional engineering and surveying services for the new Turner District Activities Center that sits on approximately 18 acres just north of the existing Turner High School in Kansas City, KS. The Activities Center features state-of-the-art synthetic turf football and soccer fields along with track and field events. The existing site had more than 30-feet of vertical elevation change. RIC was able to grade the new essentially flat fields and obtain a relatively balanced site for earthwork.

RIC’s scope of work included a topographic, boundary, and ALTA survey, traffic impact study, final platting, utility coordination, site design including stormwater management plans, stormwater BMP’s, stormwater detention plans, erosion control plans, permitting and land disturbance plans, ADA compliant ramps, and construction administration services. Our team also designed the bus drop off area and sidewalk and an additional parking lot and sidewalk.

The Central Green building is a 48,000 square foot mixed use building located in the Lenexa City Center. The three-story building sits on 1.4 acres overlooking the cascading pools, natural vegetation, and architectural features of the Central Green Park. The facility features an outdoor seating area, sidewalk connections to the City Center Central Green, 128 parking stalls, and commercial and offices on the first floor with offices on the second and third floors.

RIC was selected to provide the boundary and topographic survey, public sanitary sewer plans, public street and storm sewer plans, civil site plans, erosion control plans, landscape plans, construction observation, construction administration and construction staking.

Children’s Mercy Park 3D Scan

Kansas City, KS

Children’s Mercy Park 3D Scan

Children’s Mercy Park, home of Sporting KC, was interested in a 3D Scan with heat map to determine any low or high spots on the field. The Park’s field specialists were able to utilize the data captured to fix the different elevations prior to the beginning of the soccer season.

RIC’s 3D scanning service is an efficient and accurate way to capture and confirm as-built conditions. Our all-in-one Leica Laser Scanner gives our as-built, topographic, and mapping surveys an unprecedented level of accuracy, productivity, and versatility. Potential applications include bridge surveys, as-built surveys, historic restoration, engineering, topography, rail, and transportation.

Our experience

Our clients say …

“I have used RIC on countless occasions from a civil perspective. True value I have experienced has been on the front end of running an idea by RIC for feedback and guidance. RIC has always been willing to listen, dig in, and spend their time to help me determine/establish whether a specific land site is viable and makes sense for either a user client or a developer. The RIC Team has a real knack for truly understanding the development part of our business and can help identify problems early on and the impact as one works though the development and entitlement process.”
