Thomas & Hutton provided civil engineering and landscape architecture services that included land planning, civil/site development for the development of a new 2.8-acre Orthopedic Clinic, located along the Buckwalter Parkway in the Town of Bluffton, SC.  The initial phase of the project includes an approximately 15,000-square foot facility that has the capacity to expand in the future for a second phase. The project is part of Optim Healthcare’s growth plan to expand services to new patient areas.  Special considerations taken in this project include modifications to the existing stormwater system to allow for building placement with a turn down stem wall along the Bluffton Parkway frontage.
