The Kenosha Innovation Neighborhood project aims to develop and transform the 106-acre site of the former Chrysler Kenosha Engine Plant in Kenosha, WI. Batterman played a key role in Phase I of this project by managing and overseeing the construction of new infrastructure on the site. The project involved installing a new water main and sanitary sewer system that connects to existing facilities on all four sides of the area. This work required abandoning many old sanitary lines.
The project included a complex storm sewer system incorporating permeable pavers in the parking areas and on the terraces. The project also faced challenges, including the mass grading of an active soil reclamation site and the construction of concrete pavement, curbs, sidewalks, and bike paths.
It necessitated extensive coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR) and several utility companies. Project staff worked directly with WE Energies to perform a horizontal directional drill for an eight-inch three-phase power line to provide electricity to the new development.
This $20 million-plus project will provide the city with a revitalized location for future growth that will benefit the community.
