Binkley & Barfield | DCCM provided the preliminary engineering report, design, survey, and subsurface utility engineering Quality Levels C and D for the road paving and utility improvements in three separate areas in the City of Spring Valley Village. The project encompassed the reconstruction of Cedarspur Drive, Burkhart Road, and Winningham Lane East, and had a total length of 2,200 linear feet and included roadway, drainage, water line, and sanitary improvements. Additional services included attending prebid meetings, bid evaluation, and recommendation of award. Binkley & Barfield | DCCM also attended a preconstruction conference, reviewed shop drawings and requests for information, performed site visits as specified by the client, and provided record drawings.

Challenges

The design of the traffic control plan was challenging because the project consisted of three streets with dead ends. This meant we had to keep two-way traffic available while rebuilding a two-lane roadway. We limited the work zones to only 400 linear feet at a time to make it easier for residents to travel to and from their homes. Ongoing flagging and coordination with residents were imperative for a smooth project.

Successes

Binkley & Barfield | DCCM coordinated closely with the City of Spring Valley Village, the contractor, and affected homeowners to provide seamless design and construction experience. Homeowners were notified of the schedules, including when work would begin and end on their street. Homeowners were also encouraged to notify the city, the contractor, or the engineer of any issues. The project went smoothly with minimal issues.
