Hurt & Proffitt provided surveying, civil engineering and construction administration services to Appomattox County for the construction of the County’s new $500K plus animal shelter. The architect for the project was Dominion 7 Architects. Our services included preparing the site plan, grading and erosion control plan including stormwater management and utility plan. The utility plan was unique in that we designed a drainfield for domestic use and a separate drainfield for animal waste. The animal waste drainfield included special filters to remove animal hair from the waste stream. Animal hair is a common cause of failing drainfields for animal shelters. All plans were prepared to the standards of Appomattox County, DCR and the local Health Department.
