Sky Venture/Surf's Up

SkyVenture NH is an indoor skydiving wind tunnel located just off the D.W. Highway in Nashua that has been in operation since 2004. In 2011, Northpoint teamed up with owners Rob and Laurie Greer, and with architect Mike Cheever, to begin the planning for a major addition to the popular destination facility. The new addition houses an indoor wave pool known as Surf’s Up. Nearly two years later, after extensive design, permitting and infrastructure improvements, Surf’s Up was completed and opened in late 2013.

Design challenges on this site included an existing sewer interceptor that needed to be relocated in order to accommodate the new building addition. Northpoint served as the lead consultant on an engineering team that worked with the City of Nashua to evaluate options for relocating the interceptor, and then ultimately designing and permitting the proposed relocation.

Northpoint worked directly with the owner and architect throughout all design and permitting phases of the project. Northpoint provided all components of the civil/site engineering design and administered the final permitting process through the City of Nashua Planning Board.
