50th Anniversary Signature Project: Elevated Water Tank Replacement & Community Park, Kill Devil Hills, NC Client: Town of Kill Devil Hills When an Outer Banks beach town needed to replace its aging elevated water tank and increase its capacity for fire protection, Kill Devil Hills called upon the same firm who had been serving them for decades. American Engineering led planning, engineering design, and construction administration of the replacement of one of the Town’s aging elevated water storage tanks with a new 400,000-gallon pedosphere elevated storage tank. The new tank provided double the storage capacity of the old tank. There were design and construction challenges on the water portion of the property as there was limited area to install the new tank while keeping the existing tank in service during construction. The new tank had to be installed within an NCDOT drainage easement between the back of the fire station and Meekins Athletic Field, which contained an existing 42” arch CMP drainage pipe. This drainage pipe conveys a large amount of stormwater from neighborhoods and commercial areas north and west of the site. To keep the existing drainage system functioning during construction and to satisfy NCDOT, a 60” pipe system was installed in front and south of the fire station prior to construction of the new tank. Once the new tank was completed, the existing tank was demolished. This part of the plan left the Town with enough space to construct a monopole communication tower on the tank site, eliminating the need to place critical communications equipment on the new tank.

Continental Ground is delivering 72 finished townhome lots to a national builder! This is what's being done to prepare. . -Communicating: Keep all parties up to date. Lender, civil construction firm, civil engineering firm, partners, buyer. This will help everyone involved be prepared for any adjustments that need to be made well ahead of time. . -Financing: Civil construction is capital intensive. It is important to build up cash reserves to cover the lending costs and unanticipated expenses. . -Planning: The site will tie into the infrastructure of an adjoining site. So it will be critical to time horizontal site work closely with the neighboring site's progress. The civil construction schedules will be shared between the buyer and seller to be transparent as possible. . #deedsnotwords #continentalground #land #construction

Roadway Closure Alert - Construction begins April 22nd on the Bruce Road Reconstruction Project. The public is advised to expect temporary delays and detours during the 15-18 month construction period. Beginning April 22nd, there will be full road closures at two key sections of the project: (1) Bruce Road immediately south of East 20th Street to approximately 100 yards north of the Skyway, and (2) Bruce Road south of Banner Peak Drive to north of Concord Ave/Picholine Way. While public access will be maintained at key intersections, motorists are advised to seek alternative routes and plan additional travel time to navigate marked detours during construction. The City of Chico recognizes the inconvenience posed by construction activities but assures residents that the long-term benefits of the Bruce Road Reconstruction Project will outweigh temporary disruptions. To stay up-to-date on roadway closures, see the Announcements section at www.chico.ca.us. #ChicoRoadConstruction #MeasureH #CityofChico

The second year of construction on the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) I-494 Airport to Hwy 169 First Construction Design-Build Project in Hennepin County, Minnesota, is almost complete. Michael Baker International is the Lead Designer for the project. Contractor C. S. McCrossan is finalizing the reconstruction of I-494 between East Bush Lake Road and TH 100. The remaining tasks in this section include installing overhead sign foundations, constructing the median barrier and paving concrete on the inside lane and shoulder, all of which are expected to be finished in the coming weeks. Additionally, concrete paving on the Eastbound I-494 lanes is nearing completion. One new bridge is now open to traffic, with three more set to open soon. Construction is scheduled to continue through Fall 2026. The project is part of a long-term vision by MnDOT that includes improvements to address current and future transportation issues on I-494. It aims to provide a transit advantage to increase the number of people who can be efficiently moved through the area; improve the reliability of the average rush-hour trip; improve safety; restore pavement to preserve infrastructure and provide a smoother ride; improve drainage systems to reduce localized flooding and reduce run-off into the Minnesota River while preserving existing bridges. #ProjectUpdate #BridgeConstruction #I494Project

Mavis Tire & Brakes – Warner Robins, GA This Mavis Tire & Brakes is located in the city of Warner Robins, Georgia. Civilogistix, LLC provided full civil design services for Capital Growth Buchalter, Inc.  The site was originally located in Houston County and had to be annexed into the City of Warner Robins in order to utilize the city’s sewer infrastructure. There were two public hearings held by the city at which Civilogistix represented the project in order for the city to approve the annexation request.  Once the site was successfully annexed into the city, Land Disturbance Plans were submitted for review.  Permits had to be obtained from the City of Warner Robins, GDOT, and Houston County Water department.  With permits in hand, construction took place for approximately 6 months and a certificate of occupancy was obtained. Do you have a complicated permitting situation? See how Civilogistix, LLC can help streamline the process. Check out some of our other projects at https://lnkd.in/e5r2EMVg.

North Harbour Boulevard Update! As we continue to expand with the successful launch of North Harbour Business Park, we're thrilled to share progress on our latest road construction. But some fun facts and figures first. • Road Type – 2 lane Sub Arterial with land dedicated (average 56.5m width) for future upgrade to 4 lane Arterial. • Length – 2215m • Intersections – 3 (all to be signalised) • Bridges – 1 • Culvert crossings – 2 • Number of pipes installed – 850 • Diameter of biggest pipe – 2050mm • Dirt Moved – 400,000m3 • Number of machines during peak construction – 60 Detail approvals required following preliminary approval, for commencement of construction – o Bulk earth works – COMB o Operational Works (OPW) Civil construction – COMB o OPW Civil construction Intersection 1 – COMB o OPW Civil construction Intersection 2 – COMB o OPW Civil construction Intersection 3 - COMB o Landscape Approval – COMB o Electrical - Energex o Water reticulation – Unity Water o Department of Environment o Department of Transport and Main Roads o Department of Agriculture and Fishers o Road design period – 22 Months o Number of Environmental basins Since completing design and gaining the above-mentioned approvals construction has been progressed very well despite significant challenges, namely the 2764mm of rain that has fallen and some 140 working days of delay due to inclement weather. The rain delays have allowed detailed design and approval of other major infrastructure for North Harbour to catch up to road construction. As a result, 2000m of water main pipework is currently being installed alongside North Harbour Boulevard. Constructing this now will avoid lane closures and traffic delays once North Harbour Blvd is open to traffic. We’re pressing on with an anticipated opening date of November 2024 as currently programmed. We had hoped to open the road earlier however with 50 working weeks delay due to inclement weather since commencement this has been challenging. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work towards completing this important project. #northharbour #development #cityofmoretonbay #portbinnli #roads #businesspark #northharbourbusinesspark #business #smallbusiness

XNA access road construction to begin this summer

Check out Ural Yal sharing thoughts with NPR about replacing Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge: "The extensive use of easily formed concrete, which is less expensive than steel, is key to the cost equation for cable-stayed bridges, Ural Yal says. With concrete, he says, 'there are opportunities to cast a lot of the pieces off-site while you're building the foundations" of the bridge, thus speeding up construction.'"

Octavius Infrastructure secures a road reconstruction and resurfacing scheme in the #Fenland district of Cambridgeshire. The project, awarded by Cambridgeshire County Council, includes enhancements at four crucial locations: Church Road, Leverington; A10 Lynn Road Littleport; B1100 Padgetts Road Christchurch; and Benrick Road, Whittlesey. This significant contract falls under the Eastern Highways Alliance (EHA) Framework and presents unique challenges due to the underlying peat in the Fenland areas. The peat's characteristics can lead to heave and settlement, impacting road conditions and safety for users. According to Octavius highways framework manager Jon Millar, this marks the fourth Fen Roads Reconstruction Package completed for Cambridgeshire CC through the EHA Framework. Previously known as Osborne Infrastructure, Octavius underwent a rebranding in April 2022 following its acquisition by private equity firm Sullivan Street Partners.
