Project Summary The Marina at Oxbow Meadows is a municipal recreational development located along the banks of the Chattahoochee River near Columbus, Georgia. ATM contracted with the Columbus Consolidated Government (CCG) to perform a comprehensive market study, engineering feasibility study and a funding alternatives investigation to help ascertain the advisability of developing the area. To better understand the client's concept and goals for the project, as well as the limitations and requirements of the proposed development site, ATM conducted a design workshop prior to beginning work on the project elements. Through this process, suitable criteria for the market study and engineering feasibility were established. ATM collected public opinion data and boater registration information, conducted telephone interviews with potential users and existing competitive marinas, and identified various market segments with respect to the proposed marina and associated recreation facilities. These data were analyzed and presented to the CCG along with additional planning, design and funding recommendations. The site poses several engineering feasibility and design challenges. Namely, the site is located in an oxbow of the upper Chattahoochee River that is subject to annual flooding. Buildings had to be located more than 25 feet above normal pool levels. The flooding marina was anchored with telescoping piles to maintain stability during large annual and periodic extreme water level changes.  Project Site
