Wakeman Town Farm
The Wakeman Town Farm Sustainability Center is an organic demonstration homestead dedicated to serving the Westport Community. The Farm is a model facility created to educate the community with local healthy food production, responsible land stewardship, sustainable practices and community service orientation.
Recent construction has turned a former chicken-plucking room into the farm’s main indoor facility and gathering site and a makeshift “classroom” was recently transofrmed into a fuctional year-round kitchen classroom, known as Tim’s Kitchen. In Tim's Kitchen, the campers are now cooking the beautiful vegetables from the Farm's organic gardens and guest chefs and artisans host workshops on everything from gardening to composting to canning to seed sowing. LANDTECH provided permitting, site planning and other services and support for the new kitchen as well as farmhouse renovations. Architect Peter Wormser designed the new kitchen and farmhouse renovation and oversaw the construction process.
Ned’s Island Bridge
LANDTECH’s environmental scientists and structural engineers were brought in for the reconstruction of this badly damaged private residential pedestrian bridge that connects a small private island to the mainland.
The video captures the project’s early development during the driving of timber piles to shore up and support the replacement structure for the bridge.
Fairfield Metro
The Metro Center is bordered by Ash Creek and its surrounding 11-acre nature preserve, including walking trails and boardwalks to provide pedestrian access to the station.
Hammonasset State Park
With over two miles of beachfront facing Long Island Sound, Hammonasset State Park is Connecticut’s largest shoreline park. LANDTECH worked closely with Connecticut’s Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP) on civil engineering, as part of the team overseeing total renovation of the West Beach shorefront recreation area. Work includes an all-new parking lot, new boardwalk and bathhouse, new septic system and stormwater management facilities.
Fairfield University
Fairfield University asked LANDTECH’s wetland scientists, biologists and engineers to help create a protected area on campus that would allow for healthy growth of non-invasive native fauna and flora species. The project included a water treatment center located within a natural enclosure.
Kent Falls
LANDTECH has been assisting Kent Falls and The Food Cycle in their vision to build facilities to create high-quality produce, beers, and spirits with a focus on community awareness, energy conservation, and sustainability.
