Dolly's Splash Country
New Construction
Pigeon Forge, TN

Dolly's Splash Country is one of the largest and most popular water them parks in the United States. Griffith Engineering designed the water utilities (water sewer & storm drainage) for the facility. Our engineers designed the water system to meet the flow and pressure requirements for each water slide or feature. The sewer system was particularly challenging in that a gravity system could not be used at this location. We designed a sewer lift station was designed to collect and transport all effluent to a public system approximately ½ mile from the facility. Griffith Engineering also provided all the HVAC and plumbing design for buildings within the park including restaurants, locker & shower rooms, and shops.

Parker Sports Arena
New Construction
Knoxville, TN

The Parker Sports Arena is a 22,000 sq. ft. indoor sports facility. The facility is used for a variety of activities including league and amateur sporting events, team practices, and special events. The multiple uses of the building made the design of the mechanical system an interesting challenge due to the great variances in people loading on a weekly basis. The arena also has a refreshment area, locker rooms, and restroom facilities.

Griffith Engineering has participated in multiple design projects for Dollywood over the past few years-from cafes to museums. One of the more challenging and interesting projects was the design of the Showbird Housing for the park. The facility provides shelter for the show birds used in the park. We enjoy designing indoor comfort systems for unique and challenging projects. Having designed HVAC systems for chimpanzee housing at zoos as well as animal shelters for various locations, the bird housing at Dollywood was another out-of-the-ordinary project. Adequate ventilation, temperature, and humidity are critical in these facilities and they often have stringent requirements to protect animals sensitive to their environments.
