Lake Winnebago Lake & Community Expansion
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.

Heartland Logistics Park
Heartland Logistics Park
×RIC is on a team to provide civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services for the new Heartland Logistics Park in Shawnee, KS. The industrial park will sit on 150 acres at the northwest corner of 43rd Street and Kansas Highway 7. The development will feature 2 million s.f. of industrial space spread across multiple manufacturing, warehouse, and distribution buildings.
The RIC team is providing topographic and ALTA surveys, railroad right-of-way investigation, utility coordination, concept development and exhibit preparation, site development plans, a floodplain analysis, storm drainage analysis and design, landscape plans, and a traffic impact study. Sanitary sewer design includes force main, lift station, and gravity main plans along with gravity main inspection and testing. A major component of the project is the floodplain analysis as 43rd Street, Clare Road, and the building floor elevations are being designed above the floodplain. The Kansas River surrounds the development on the North and East sides so RIC prepared a model of the river to determine the actual floodplain elevations.
RIC's transportation engineers, traffic engineers, and surveyors are also working with the City of Shawnee and KDOT in preparing public road infrastructure plans for 43rd Street, Clare Road, and Kansas Highway 7 in support of the development.

Compass 70 Development
Compass 70 Development
×RIC was hired by Scannell Properties to design a sanitary sewer collection system, lift station and force main to serve the 150-acre Compass 70 Business Park in Bonner Springs, KS. RIC worked with Scannell Properties and the City of Edwardsville to develop the design for the collection system and lift station. The project included approximately 1625 L.F. of 8” gravity main, 1016 L.F. of 4” force main and a lift station. The lift station was designed in conjunction with the City of Edwardsville design criteria and technical specifications, and input from the City’s on-call engineering consultants. The station was designed for a peak flow of 225 gallons per minute (GPM) for the proposed industrial park.
The lift station included submersible pumps in the wet well, valve and meter vault structures, control panel, electric meter, backup generator and a Primex Remote Operating System. The design process of the project included development of land disturbance plans and a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). RIC also completed applications to KDHE for the project and obtained a Notice of Intent for Construction Activities and a Sanitary Sewer Main Extension permit. Project design started in Fall of 2021. Construction of the project began in Summer of 2022 and is expected to be completed in Summer 2024.
