Patti’s Restaurant
Grand Rivers, Kentucky – Livingston County
Bacon Farmer Workman (BFW) and Marcum Engineering collaborated on the demolition and construction of Patti’s Restaurant, which was damaged by a fire in April 2018 to the point of requiring demolition due to the fire, smoke, and water damage. The new facility will be 21,000 square feet with an entry atrium, 11 themed dining rooms, large meeting/dining room, server’s alcohol beverage bar, central commercial kitchen, orders carry-out stand, candy shop, gift shop, and management offices. BFW provided drafting, layout, and dimensions of all site features along with administration and coordination services which included:
- Grading design of hardscapes and vegetated areas
- Stormwater management
- Site utility coordination
- Site permit submittal
To ensure accessibility, the design and grading comply with ADA requirements. The civil and site items were reviewed for pertinent ordinances and regulations for project compliance to authorities. In addition, the stormwater runoff was designed to be collected by a series of inlets and piped underground to a nearby pond. Meanwhile, Marcum Engineering provided the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) design services which included:
- Automatic sprinkler system
- Plumbing
- HVAC
- Lighting systems
- Power
- Special systems
The plumbing systems consisted of multiple high-efficient water heaters and low flow water efficient plumbing fixtures. The HVAC systems were multiple rooftop HVAC units and high-efficient natural gas furnaces hidden in mezzanine spaces which are accessible for service without disturbing diners or operations. All sprinkler piping and ductwork were designed to coordinate with the Owner’s signature decorations and Christmas lighting. Within the facility, the lighting systems are LED and controlled by computer control system which allows the hostess or staff to adjust the illumination levels of each dining space independently from a central location or within each space. To save space and maximize dining areas, power distribution utilized integrated panels. Marcum Engineering and BFW are proud of their collaboration in rebuilding Patti’s Restaurant to be able to serve the community once again in historic Grand Rivers, Kentucky.
