Happy National Employee Appreciation Day to all of our KPGers! Whether they are building a holiday lane design (2019), cycling the pipeline trail for a site visit (2019), drawing cats during a virtual talent show (2020), participating in the KPG golf tournament (2020), or representing KPG at an IACC event (2019) - they are always raising the bar with their hard work, humor, and dedication. Our employees are what makes KPG a special place to work and we couldn’t ask for a better group of folks! Looking forward to the day we are all back in the office to celebrate in KPG style!

KPG’s architectural and engineering teams partnered with the City of Yelm on this functional unisex restroom facility and concession stand. To minimize long-term maintenance, this project was designed to be winterized during cold months by closing four of the eight restroom stalls.

Since 2016, KPG has been working with Lakehaven Water & Sewer District and has worked on more than a dozen assignments via an on-call services contract. These photos illustrate construction of a couple of the water and sewer utility projects for the District. We have greatly enjoyed working with Lakehaven Water & Sewer District, and look forward to continuing to do so into the foreseeable future!

KPG Engineers and Construction Services have teamed up with @hwageo to assist the City of Clyde Hill with working to identify roads requiring asphalt rehabilitation. One of the unique aspects of this project is that we used self-adhesive paving fabrics to mitigate asphalt crack propagation! This project will be completed in Spring 2021.

KPG helps you find your way. Working with vibrant communities to create wayfinding just as unique as their own identity. The Downtown Wayfinding system serves as a guide for all people onto their intended destinations or more adventurously onto a new discovery and beyond.

For over 25 years we have partnered with the City of Tukwila on overlay projects. We have designed overlay projects at various locations throughout the City that focus on pavement repairs, replacement of curb, gutter, sidewalk, and ramps to keep Tukwila’s roads and sidewalks in good shape. Check our most recent overlay and the video.

KPG Hikes participated in their inaugural hike this last weekend. Aviation’s Service Manager, Jonathan, Field Surveyor, Michael, and husband Arnold enjoyed the trek to this popular viewpoint. Who else loves hiking? 🙌

Here’s a sneak peek of KPG’s recently-completed work at the Salmon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The renovation and expansion project required extensive modifications to mechanical spaces for new process equipment and controls. KPG also designed a new Laboratory and Administration Building, constructed on top of an existing 75’x 350’ concrete water tank to preserve limited site space. From the conference room in the Lab Office Building, staff can view the tailrace, where clean water is discharged to Puget Sound after passing through the plant’s state of the art tertiary treatment system.

Check out what Elf Lucy was working on in the Top-Secret Santa Workshop. This year KPGers were surprised with their own @swellbottle featuring our special edition 30th Anniversary logo! As we wrap up celebrating 30 Years of KPG, we wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone for making KPG such a special place, and cheers to the next 30! #employeeappreciation #KPG #aec #KPGstrong
Last month, we asked KPGers to nominate their favorite nonprofit organizations for us to support this year. We selected Refugee Women’s Alliance (ReWA) for our Seattle office, Pasado’s Safe Haven for our Wenatchee office, and Tacoma/Pierce County Habitat for Humanity for Tacoma. Swipe to learn more about why these organizations are special to our KPG employees.

2020 has brought the construction of the long-awaited streetscape project! This project enhances downtown Renton as a destination area, while improving circulations, reducing traffic speeds, and improving pedestrian safety. We always enjoy partnering with the City of Renton and are extra thankful this year for their support. We look forward to continuing to partner with the City and its residents in 2021!
