About the Project

At the corner of General Booth Boulevard and Prosperity Road in Virginia Beach, Virginia a newly constructed Wawa shares a BMP pond with the Prosperity Pines housing development. The Wawa development was responsible for constructing the BMP’s access road that would allow for maintenance around the pond.
The pre-existing property operated as a marina since 1961 before selling in 2022 to a development company. As part of the redevelopment plan, the marina’s structures were replaced by 12 bungalows, a pool, bath house, and parking to accommodate guests and boaters.

Value Engineered Solution: Vegetated Maintenance Path

Although a concrete block matting was originally specified for the BMP access road, Colonial recommended value engineering Presto Geosystem’s GEOWEB® cellular confinement system in lieu of the concrete block mats. We worked with Presto Geosystems to provide a custom project evaluation for the design which was approved for use by Kimley-Horn.
The approved design for the maintenance path specified GEOWEB GW30V6, a 6-inch cell filled with engineered infill. The mix of topsoil and crushed aggregate would provide load support for maintenance equipment while supporting vegetation establishment. The geocell system was connected using ATRA® Keys and secured with ATRA® Anchors.

GEOWEB® Geocell Advantages
