Owner:
Town of Evergreen
Location:
1521 Bergan Parkway, Evergreen
Contract Amount: $372,597
Twin concrete T’s were designed to make a new connection between the Evergreen Lake Trail and the Town of Evergreen. Built on a 60 degree slope equipment had to be craned down and laborers had to be tied off. The main road going in and coming out of Evergreen needed to be narrowed to one lane for installing the H-Piles and then again to set the Twin T’s. A traffic nightmare! All in all a very challenging project.

Chambers Blvd. & Mississippi Ave., Aurora
Contract Amount: $1,094,653
To continue Aurora's extensive trail system a new connection will be made through the Toll Creek corridor. One mile of a concrete trail will be installed through the existing residential area to Toll Creek where a 220 LF bridge will be built to connect to the other side. Using a concrete center pier in the middle of Toll Creek extensive dewatering and shoring will be necessary to get this 54" caisson out of the ground. To add to this difficult project an "Air Bridge" will have to be designed and built over two gas lines so that the concrete trucks, crane and bridge transport does not do any damage.

Contract Amount: $217,874
To improve traffic flow on this busy intersection a new turn lane was installed. To accommodate this lane a concrete wall was needed as the finished grades pushed back into the existing hillside.
