The Project
This $105M design-build project included extending the new collector-distributor (C-D) roadway from the Newtown interchange to the Witchduck Road interchange; reconfiguring the Newtown Road interchange ramps south of I-264; constructing a roundabout on Greenwich Road including on-ramp to access EB I-264; reconfiguring the Witchduck Road interchange ramps south of I-264; and constructing a flyover overpass between the two interchanges that connect Greenwich Road on the south side of I-264 and Cleveland Street on the north side. RK&K provided construction management, construction inspection, and engineering support services under this project-specific agreement.
Project elements included approximately 300,000 cubic yards (CY) of excavation; 25,000 linear feet (LF) of drainage; in-plan utilities; 30,000 tons of cement stabilized aggregates; 50,000 tons of asphalt pavement; new curved steel bridge construction over I-264; widening and rehabilitation of two existing bridge structures; box culvert construction; construction of five new stormwater management basins; soundwall construction; 1.2 million LF of vertical wick drains; 44,000 square feet (SF) of MSE wall construction; ITS; signals; lighting; overhead sign structures; demolition of seven parcels with asbestos containing material (ACM); a shared use path; sidewalk; landscaping; and geotechnical services.
As an innovative practice, RK&K’s inspection staff used iPads equipped with PlanGrid to document project issues, thereby creating a running punch-list which was assigned and discussed at weekly construction meetings with the contractor for resolution. As items were corrected, they were marked closed on the PlanGrid issue log, thereby keeping a detailed historical log.
Likewise, the environmental compliance inspector used PlanGrid for the environmental inspections. Deficiencies were noted on the plan sheets with embedded photographs and sent to the contractor. The inspector embedded follow-up photos at the same location on the plan sheets at the end of the specified corrective action period to document that the deficiency was corrected or if it still required contractor action. This innovative approach to documenting environmental issues and their corrective actions were well received by both VDOT and DEQ.
