IMEG was part of the master development team selected by the Town of Babylon to implement Wyandanch Rising, a transformative mixed-use and mixed-income development of an economically distressed area into a progressive transit-oriented, pedestrian-focused, and environmentally-sustainable hamlet center. IMEG provided civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering design services, along with site planning and landscape architecture, for the new infrastructure improvements including:

  • Storm water drainage improvements
  • Parking, roadway circulation, and pedestrian streetscape improvements
  • Water supply
  • Sanitary sewer
  • Electric, natural gas, and tele-communications
  • Landscape improvements/green infrastructure

Phase I of the master plan implementation consisted of two mixed-use buildings comprised of 240 residential units and 50,000-sf street-level retail, restaurant, and gallery space. The scope of streetscape improvements, pedestrian spaces, parking, and vehicular circulation comprises multiple streets and a central hamlet square known as Transit Plaza. Phase I represented the transformative foundation to a vibrant and walkable community integrated with innovative green infrastructure and sustainable site and building design. Mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection design included utility calculations for each building, evaluation of site utilities, and calculations for the north parcel of the project — approximately 12 buildings and numerous town houses and single-family residences — extending beyond buildings A and B and the train station
