Project Name
The Parkside Village Town
Nestled in the heart of the United States, our partner embarked on a high-profile residential development project aimed at transforming a challenging terrain into a vibrant community. The site, characterized by its steep slopes and intersecting natural features, required meticulous planning and advanced engineering solutions. AXA Engineers was brought on board as an outsourcing partner to lead design phase from inception through to the approval of the Construction Documents (CD) set.

Project Vision and Challenges
Situated in Wake County, the Parkside Village Town Development aims to create a residential community that harmonizes with its natural landscape while maintaining functional and aesthetically pleasing infrastructure. The steep terrain, characterized by a 10-foot elevation difference between alley roads and residential roads, coupled with the presence of intersecting streams and wetlands, presents significant hurdles for grading and designing layouts.
Challenge 1: Elevation Difference
The 10-foot elevation difference between alley roads and residential roads complicates the design and necessitates a balanced cut-and-fill approach.
Challenge 2: Intersecting Streams and Wetlands
The existing terrain is interspersed with streams and wetlands, making it challenging to design profiles and grading that do not encroach upon these sensitive areas.
Strategic Solutions
To address these challenges, AXA Engineers has devised solutions that are both innovative and respectful of the existing natural features:
Integrated Design Approach
We adopted a dual connectivity approach for buildings, linking the front to residential roads and the back to alley roads via basements. This design mitigated the need for extensive excavation, balancing the cut-and-fill operations.
Environmental Protection Measures
By designing retaining walls along development boundaries and headwalls at road-stream intersections, we minimized the environmental footprint, preserving natural water flow and protecting wetlands.
Optimized Workflow Management
Our team excelled in managing iterative feedback cycles, ensuring that every update and markup was addressed promptly and accurately. This streamlined process was critical in achieving final approval without delays.
