Technology Park- South Burlington

Technology Park is a partially developed commercial subdivision design specifically for high-technology businesses. Located off Kimball Avenue in South Burlington and near Interstate 89, the site is more recently recognized from the Interstate by the “Whale’s Tails”.

Trudell Consulting Engineers (TCE) began its work at Technology Park nearly twenty years ago, in 1976, when Greater Burlington Industrial Corporation (GBIC) turned to TCE to complete a perimeter survey. Shortly afterwards, GBIC called on the firm to survey 23 acres for perspective new businesses. GBIC came to rely on the work ethic and work quality TCE is known for and turned to the company for a variety of projects afterwards – including the Catamount Industrial Park in Milton, Vermont.

Digital Equipment Corporation purchased land at the Technology Park site in 1977, but TCE’s involvement continued with the site. Thirteen years later, Cynosure, Inc. and GBIC relied on TCE for the subdivision of the 178-acre lot into seven commercial lots. TCE’s responsibilities in this 1993 effort included design of a 20,000 gallon per day wastewater pump station, recreation path design along frontage on Kimball Avenue, wetland and environmental services, roadway design, and flood elevation study.

In 2000, the current owners, Technology Park Associates, relied on TCE to design and obtain permits for two new office buildings on Lot 2 and Lot 7, this work involved a major traffic study and related indirect air pollution permits, ACT 250, and stormwater and wastewater design.
