Optimizing RV Park Design for Maximum Capacity and Compliance
About the Client
Based in Kingman, Arizona, the Client has over a decade of experience supporting Mohave County Public Works. Since its founding in 2016, the company has specialized in a range of civil engineering services, including street improvements, open channel design, sewer extensions, horizontal control plans, and grading and utility design for Recreational Vehicle (RV) parks. It has built strong relationships not only in Kingman but also in nearby communities like Bullhead City and Lake Havasu.
Project Scope and Constraints
The project involved designing and grading a 4.08-acre site for an RV park, with the objective of maximizing the number of RV spaces while meeting all applicable design and regulatory standards. These were the key requirements and challenges:- Flood Zones: Two sides of the property fell within designated flood zones, which could not be disturbed or developed.
- Setback Requirements: Mandatory setbacks on all sides limit the usable area for RV spaces.
- Standard RV Dimensions: Each space needed to accommodate standard RV sizes, impacting layout flexibility.
- Sanitation and Sewage Compliance: The design had to meet regulatory requirements for on-site sewage and sanitation infrastructure.
- Spatial Offsets: Specific distances were required between certain site elements, such as: A minimum 50-foot separation between the retention basin and the septic tank.
