SF Zoo is the largest zoological park in Northern California.
Client: San Francisco Department of Public Works
Location: San Francisco, CA
It is one of the Bay Area’s most popular cultural and recreational attractions, home to over 250 species of exotic and domestic mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish and invertebrates. The scope of the project included:
- improving and upgrading the Zoo's existing groundwater supply, storage, and distribution facilities including the design of two new wells;
- evaluating the Zoo's existing sanitary and stormwater sewer, water supply, gas, electrical, and communications systems and developing a master plan for each system which meets the current and future needs of the Zoo, and
- designing a mammal conservation center for animal holding.
The work has been performed by the Kennedy/Jenks-AGS Association. AGS' responsibilities include project management; groundwater system, reclaimed water system, and combined sewer system civil planning and design; mammal conservation center civil and structural design; replacing and relocating the two existing groundwater wells; designing a new groundwater storage reservoir; and conducting geotechnical and seismic analyses as needed for the project.
