Christopher High School

Carroll Engineering was part of the design team involved in the design and construction of a new high school in the Gilroy Unified School District. The project began in 2006 and was completed and opened in September 2010. The campus was constructed on a 50-acre site in the City of Gilroy. Carroll Engineering provided topographic and boundary surveys which were used to prepare a Preliminary Master Grading Plan and Utility Plan of the entire project for use in preparing final detailed construction documents. Storm Water detention basins were located and shown in the Master Grading Plan phase. On-site plans were prepared which consisted of Grading Plans, Underground Utilities Plan (storm, sanitary sewer and domestic water), and horizontal dimension plans.

Off-Site Design included preparation of plans in the City of Gilroy format for storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water mains and lateral connections and complete frontage improvements for Santa Teresa Boulevard, Christopher Court, Day Road and a sanitary sewer along Lyons Creek. Carroll Engineering processed the same through the City for approval. Erosion Control plans and Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and Notice of Intent were prepared for the District’s and contractor’s use. Carroll Engineering also coordinated with the Santa Clara Valley Water District to obtain approvals for outfalls to Lyons Creek.
