Standard Construction Details
Welcome to the City of Wheat Ridge Standard Construction Details page! These standard construction details are intended to be a guide for design, review, and construction for public and private development projects within the City of Wheat Ridge. These details in conjunction with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) M & S Standards have been created to guide licensed Engineers, Architects, Land Surveyors, and Contractors designing or constructing within the City of Wheat Ridge. The PDF and dwg formatted documents provided on this page are intended to be printed or used in blank form. If you have issues accessing any materials; a file format prevents you from accessing the information; or require additional ADA assistance, please contact the Community Development Engineering Department at email: Engineering@ci.wheatridge.co.us or 303-235-2861.
All construction, development, repairs, or adjustments affecting city infrastructure within the City of Wheat Ridge shall comply to current standards. All standard construction details have been organized in the the drop down tabs below, and each section includes links to both PDF and DWG versions for each standard construction detail.
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) M & S Standards
The City of Wheat Ridge follows CDOT M & S Standards for curb ramps, driveway details, manholes, and stormwater pipe, as well as CDOT S-Standards for traffic related infrastructure when not covered by Wheat Ridge Standard Construction Details. Please contact Community Development Engineering Department for any questions specific to standards. CDOT M & S Standards can be found at the CDOT website link below:
Design & Construction Project Support
Erosion Control
Effective management of stormwater runoff during construction activities is critical to the protection of water resources. Both erosion control and sediment controls are necessary for effective construction site management as well as effective material management and site management practices. Protection of waterways from construction-related pollution is the ultimate objective of these practices.
Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) has provided information on construction best management practices (BMPs) on their website. The BMP Fact Sheets contain information on applicability, installation, maintenance, and design details with notes. The Fact Sheets are stand-alone documents that can be inserted directly into a Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP).
Requirements
City Code requires bicycle racks to be the inverted u-rack design, unless an alternate design is approved by the Community Development Director. Bike racks in the ROW shall be painted black.
