Our final solution consisted of grading, soil amendment, and an extension to the pre-exsisting gabion wall.  
Due to the large labor cost associated with this project by far the most critical factor to our implementation
was coordinating with the students from the high school's landscaping class.

Abstract

Four engineering students are commissioned by a local high school to help prepare their outdoor space for an orchard.

Background

As part of the environmental resource engineering major at Humboldt State University students must take ENGR 215, environmental design. For our semester's design projects our client was Six Rivers Charter High School in Arcata, California. The clients primary focus developing their outdoor space into a garden-based learning area, as well as an aesthetically pleasing space for teacher who would want host their class outside. Our group, the Greengineers (Jessica Sheffield, Austin Payne, Taylor Goodwin, and Justin Hawkins) was tasked with preparing the a large terrace for an orchard.

Team Meeting

Problem statement and criteria

The 1600 sq. foot space we were given to prepare had three major design constraints.

  1. The terrain was not level, potential safety hazard for a class of thirty students.
  2. The south east corner was open leading to erosion undermining general slope stability.
  3. The soil health was severely compromised by compaction and the addition of low-quality fill dirt to fill the terrace.


Through client feedback we were able to generate the set of design criteria below

Timing/Productivity 7

Description of final project

Our final solution consisted of grading, soil amendment, and an extension to the pre-exsisting gabion wall. Due to the large labor cost associated with this project by far the most critical factor to our implementation was coordinating with the students from the high school's landscaping class.

Include a how to use and maintain section. See the how to template below.

  • Consider replacing gabion wall


Discussion and next steps

Six Rivers Charter High School has ordered trees to be planted bare-root in January after winter break.


Suggestions for future changes

There survival will largely be dependent on additional watering through the dry summer months. The school has the drip irrigation supplies needed to create a watering system that can be supplied by a hose running from the closest spigot.
