Pare was pleased to sponsor and exhibit at the 4th annual Rhode Island Stormwater Innovation Expo, sharing ideas about the latest stormwater technologies and funding, along with networking with the many communities and stakeholders working in the area of stormwater management. It is very exciting to see how far the field of green stormwater infrastructure design has come with the pending threat of climate change. We look forward to continued work with municipalities and state agencies on future stormwater design projects!

2022 ACEC-RI Engineering Excellence Award Winner! – Macomber Stadium GSI

We’re proud to say that two of our projects won ACEC-RI Engineering Excellence Awards in the “Projects less than $10 Million” category. The first is Macomber Stadium (Central Falls, RI) with a 1st Place Golden Anchor Award. Working with our partners Stantec and Horsley Witten Group, Inc., the team transformed a contaminated, underutilized athletic field into a beautiful new stadium that features a variety of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) elements and new synthetic turf fields. The GSI elements collect runoff from a 10-acre catchment area and reduce flows to the Narragansett Bay Commission’s Phase III CSO program.

2022 ACEC-RI Engineering Excellence Award Winner! – Old Tower Hill Road

Pare’s second ACEC-RI Engineering Excellence Award project was Old Tower Hill Road (Wakefield, RI), which won a 2nd Place Blue Ribbon Hope Award. Using ‘Complete Streets’ elements, Pare’s design significantly improved the circulation and safety of vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians in this busy commercial district. The stormwater treatment design, which includes 18 bioretention curb inlet planters, provides a low-impact development technique for treatment and infiltration at the source within limited right-of-way conditions, while beautifying a business district with much desired landscaping. The project also won a 2022 Stormy Award from the New England Water Works Association!
