Rotarian Owens McCullough P.E., VP Engineering and Project Development at Sebago Technics, was our speaker on June 21.  Ten years in planning and involving thousands of hours of meetings and research, the new Westbrook Public Services and School Bus Center is due to open ahead of schedule in October of this year. Shown on the slide in the bottom photo are the existing building to be converted to unheated storage, the new public service garage, new school bus center, new fuel island, and new 9000 square foot sand and salt storage building.
 
 
 
The project includes over 22,000 square feet of fleet maintenance and administration and an indoor equipment washing area. The existing building is getting a new metal skin.  There is high energy efficiency paneling in the Admin area (R30.8) and radiant heat in the maintenance area.  All surface water will flow to the filtration pond, an environmentally sound design.
 
Owens told us “A project is only as good as the planning you put into it”.  This project was a team effort: SMRT Architects, Sebago Technics, Great Falls Construction and Westbrook Public Service.
