JR Engineering was the project lead, teaming with LaFarge and Tarco for the design and construction of 5 miles of roadway. This project involved both the private and public sectors. The project included design and construction of the following elements: Roadway, Erosion Control, Drainage/Culvert, Floodplain Analysis, Environmental, Land Surveying, Mapping, Utility Coordination and Potholing, Right-of-Way/Easement Acquisition, Geotechnical and Materials Engineering, Construction Management and Construction Staking.
JR Engineering led a design-build team to provided design improvements, paving, and construction for an existing two-lane, 24-foot rural county gravel roadway with minimal shoulders. This section of roadway is immediately north of the County’s current project. The improvements provided a 24-foot paved roadway section with 6-foot recycled asphalt shoulders and roadside drainage ditches. 88th Avenue was widened to provide left turn lanes. The roadway profile was adjusted to improve the sight distance, while maintaining the roadway within the existing right-of-way. Existing driveways were regraded to match the proposed road profile and new culvert installed to convey the roadside drainage.
JR researched existing property boundaries and prepared legal descriptions of the necessary temporary construction easements. JR also notified existing utility owners of the project and performed dry utility potholing to identify any areas of utility lowering. For construction services, JR provided construction management, daily site visits, prepared necessary design, weekly construction activity reports, progress reports, and provided quality assurance checks.
JR Engineering led a design-build team to provide this design-build storm sewer replacement project for the City of Colorado Springs. The project consisted of a total replacement of the existing CMP storm sewer pipe with over 2500 l.f. of RCP storm sewer (15 inch to 48 inch), 14 manholes, 4 cast-in-place junction boxes, and replacement or modification of 14 inlets. The existing roadway was reconstructed or resurfaced as required, along with the removal and replacement of curb and gutter. Several areas of the existing CMP storm sewer system had corroded and collapsed requiring the City to seal off the existing inlets to prevent stormwater from further eroding the roadway subgrade. The exact alignment of the existing CMP was unknown and existing pipe junctions were not located at manholes. The design-build process allowed JR Engineering to uncover the existing pipe, perform field surveys, and quickly modify the storm sewer design to accommodate existing pipe laterals and dry utility conflicts. During the design-build process JR Engineering was able to perform and monitor hydraulic calculations of the system and make improvements to increase the capacity of the sewer system while providing for future expansion.
JR Engineering was the lead of Design-Build team with Quality Paving for replacement of a deficient bridge at the crossing of Riverdale Road and Brantner Ditch. Adams County contracted with JR after the existing bridge experienced a recent failure requiring immediate attention. JR was able to design, obtain all necessary permits and approvals, and construct the project within the strict project schedule utilizing a design-build project delivery method. The project included the design and construction of a Precast Conspan Bridge Structure, Wingwalls, Guardrail, Roadway Improvements, Riprap Stabilization, and Erosion Control. The project required extensive dry utility coordination, supporting an existing utility conduit in-place during construction, and performing utility relocations on behalf of the dry utility companies. JR also provided: Hydraulic Analysis, Ditch Company Permit Coordination, Utility Coordination, Geotechnical and Materials Engineering, Right-of-Way/Easement Acquisition, Construction Management, and Construction Staking.
JR Engineering led a design-build team with WL Contractors for the design and construction of traffic signal improvements at Malley Drive and Highline Drive intersection. The project also included safety improvements to the 112th Avenue and Larson Drive intersection located near a regional elementary school. Both intersections had safety concerns and frequent accidents involving vehicles and pedestrians. Pedestrian safety at the Malley Dr. intersection was further compromised due to the Farmers Canal trail crossing located just 40 feet east of the intersection. The trail was realigned to cross at the intersection and a new traffic signal was installed. The project also installed fiber optic interconnect to communicate with the master controller located on Washington Street.
For the 112th Ave. and Larson Dr. intersection several safety improvement options were evaluated including in-ground flashing crosswalk lights. Based on the review and the City’s available budget a traditional school crossing was installed with advanced flashing warning signs.
