Provided professional engineering services for a new car dealership in the Town of Wawayanda, located on approximately 15.8 acres of land along Routes 6 and 56. The development includes a 10,000 SF conversion of the existing showroom into a dedicated used car showroom; 12-car indoor service and delivery drive; 21,000 SF new car showroom with seven service writers, customer lounge, and dedicated children’s lounge; and a 10,000 SF vehicle service addition with nine service bays and an automated car wash.

Colliers Engineering & Design provided complete services for this project, from initial survey and due diligence to project close-out at the completion of construction. Our professionals developed concept, preliminary, and final site plans, including full landscape and lighting plans. The reconstruction of the existing on-site subsurface sewage disposal system (SSDS) was also required. The existing SSDS was a traditional pipe in trench system and would be over capacity with the additional flows from the proposed dealership. Our redesign utilized an Eljen In-Drain system to treat the estimated 1,315 GPD flows from the site’s anticipated 81 full-time employees and customer usage, as well as a new pump station. A permit from the NYSDEC was required for the site’s proposed stormwater management facilities and reconstructed SSDS. We also performed construction administration and site inspection and reviewed shop drawings.
