AUSTIN—The first inland surf park in North America is set to debut in Austin.

Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB), a property and construction consultancy firm, will develop Nland Surf Park, which is scheduled to open next spring.

The state-of-the-art 113-acre facility will be a “surfer's playground.”

RLB's Austin office, led by dedicated project manager Don Miller, is serving as project manager and design coordinator for the project. The firm originally provided budgeting services and went on to serve as design coordinator.

“NLand Surf Park is not your average construction project; no one ever built anything like this before,” Miller told GlobeSt.com. “Standard construction methods applied, of course, but the interface of certain components, the magnitude of the project and coordination of construction are unique. We really had to approach this as an evolving design; continually educating all stakeholders as we developed the project was critical."

The revolutionary park will feature a lagoon approximately the size of nine football fields with 11 surfing areas and proprietary Wavegarden technology that will create one-foot, four-foot and six-foot waves. The project scope includes building the main lagoon, building its proprietary equipment foundation, and constructing a pier and boardwalks.

RLB is no stranger to complex projects. It has worked on The Hilton Grand Waikikian in Honolulu, HI; the proposed Farmers Field NFL stadium project in Los Angeles; and the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort in Singapore.
