IH-40 Faulkner County
This is a $21 million Arkansas State Highway Department A+C project that consists of five miles of highway widening from two lanes to three lanes in each direction. The aggressive schedule requires completion in 83 working days. Work includes temporary barrier wall, approximately 18,500 LF of drainage improvements, 30,000 CY of grading, 23,000 LF of permanent barrier wall, 117,000 tons of aggregate base course, and 52,000 tons of asphalt. The Pivotal team is working closely with the project team to develop and monitor this aggressive schedule to meet the proposed working days. Special considerations were given to production rates, resource availability, working hours per day, and double shifting. This project completed on schedule, and under budget.
IH-225 Rail Line Civil Project
The IH-225 Rail Line Civil Project is located along the IH-225 corridor in Aurora, CO. The project consists of the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of approximately 10.5 miles of light rail from the existing Nine Mile Station to the proposed station at the intersection for Smith and Peoria. The project is managed by the Regional Transportation District (RTD) of Denver, CO. The project includes eight stations, 1,800 parking stations, and seven bridges. Right-of-way acquisition and extensive utility relocations are critical to the successful completion of the project. Upon completion, passengers will gain access to Aurora City Center, the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, the Fitzsimons Life Science District, and Denver International Airport.
Permanent Canal Closure Project
This $650 million design-build project consists of three permanent canal closures and pump stations in the New Orleans area. The project includes storm surge barriers and pump stations at the discharge end of the canal, with pumps having the stand-alone power supply and capacity sufficient to evacuate the drainage fed to the canals. The Pivotal team is working closely with the project team to evaluate the project status and assist in implementing best practices with a third-party perspective to assist in identifying negative trends. This outside analysis is intended to help manage and implement solutions early on to minimize adverse effects to project schedule. The schedule was built to the specifications of the client, USACE, and the industry standard best practices. This project is currently on schedule to be complete in 2016.
