Leading whitewater park design firm S2O Design and Engineering has increased its staff and launched a new website to better serve burgeoning demand for whitewater parks around the globe.


New to the S2O team are Nick Turner, Christine Clark and Michael Williams. Turner brings extensive in-stream experience to the team from his tenure with both the McLaughlin Whitewater Design Group and RiverRestoration. Clarks experience lies in master planning (MURB), architecture (Barch), landscape architecture (MLa) and recreational design while Williams specializes in building design, space planning, interior design, and project management. this team vastly expands our capabilities. I am especially excited about the experience and know-how that Nick brings to adjustable features for natural rivers.

The trio join S2O founder, Scott Shipley, a Colorado-Based engineer whose whitewater pedigree includes three Olympiads and four world titles. A lifetime spent on whitewater, combined with award-winning engineering design work has led to Shipleys reputation as the go-to designer for some of the worlds most demanding whitewater design projects.


 
The S2O team offers the best blend of authenticity in the whitewater community and will help build on S2Os reputation for innovative engineering solutions to create enduring whitewater parks, Shipley said.


The team is scheduled to begin work soon on an in-stream project in Queenstown, New Zealands adventure capital and was recently selected to design Missoulas Max Wave Project. Shipley recently finished work on the London 2012 Olympics canoe slalom venue.
