About this Project

Rebuild is a multi-year capital initiative investing up to $500 million in the renovation of Philadelphia’s public parks, recreation centers, and libraries. Funded in part by the Philadelphia Beverage Tax and supported by public-private partnerships, the program targets high-need neighborhoods and facilities in poor physical condition. Rebuild’s goals include revitalizing community spaces, promoting economic opportunity, and empowering residents through inclusive design and engagement.

AEG served as a retained subconsultant supporting improvements at 45 sites across the city. Services included geotechnical and structural engineering, surveying, and construction inspection. AEG’s inspectors worked closely with City Project Managers and administration consultants to ensure safe work practices, proper materials, and adherence to construction standards. Responsibilities included attending kickoff meetings, coordinating with union subcontractors, maintaining schedule control, and conducting final walk-throughs. Daily reports were completed for each site, tracking progress and costs.

AEG’s involvement spanned a wide range of facility types, from minor upgrades, such as paving and fencing, to full-scale demolition and new construction of community centers, playgrounds, and libraries. Our technical expertise and field presence helped ensure quality outcomes aligned with Rebuild’s mission to deliver equitable, high-impact improvements across Philadelphia.
