Emerio Design, LLC

Emerio Design, LLC is proud to be part of this joint Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) and Oregon Department of Transportation landslide restoration project in NW Portland. This area, particularly NW Thurman Street, has a history of landslides, dating back to at least 1956 (check out the historic photo below!).

In 2017, another landslide occurred between two private residences. Emerio Design, LLC engineer Anthony Quinn, PE provided roadway design and traffic control design while engineers Rick Fensler, P.E. and Dan Ingram provided utility coordination for this restoration project and worked closely with teaming partners Delve Underground (formerly McMillian/Jacobs) PBOT, and ODOT.

To avoid impact to an existing crib wall as well as provide soil stabilization, geogrid with compacted backfill was constructed for each affected private property downslope from the right-of-way. Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) is repairing the right-of-way at the top of the slope impacted by the landslide by strengthening the street and underlying roadway prism. Construction began in August 2023 and is nearing final completion.

Construction continues at an impressive pace!

Located near the historic Rose Farm Museum on Holmes Lane, Emerio Design, LLC's team is providing site development/civil engineering, land use planning, and the residential design for a 60-unit residential planned community in the City of Oregon City.

Our team is responsible for engineering design and drafting, addressing all stormwater improvements and providing a stormwater report, and providing field coordination and construction observation throughout the project. Shout-out to the Emerio Design, LLC project team, Jennifer Arnold, Roy Hankins, and Sean Jackson for all collaborative efforts on this one!

Construction continues on the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services, Columbia Blvd. Wastewater Treatment Plant. This Secondary Treatment Expansion Program(STEP) is the largest improvement project at the plant since the 1970’s.

Emerio Design, LLC has been working with prime teaming partners Jacobs Engineering Group and Carleton Hart Architecture PC on this multi-phase, multi-year site redevelopment to increase capacity and prevent unnecessary overburden of the treatment plant. Emerio Design, LLC has been providing civil engineering, full topographic surveying, and as-built tunnel scanning.
