Allen Road - Eglinton West Station: Preliminary Design ConsultationCrosstown TO
Station design is one of the most exciting -- and most critical -- components of The Crosstown construction. There are a number of major considerations for station design, including: accessibility for people with disabilities, development potential, integration with surrounding communities, and minimizing construction impacts. This is the preliminary station design consultation for Allen Road - Eglinton West. Visit www.thecrosstown.ca for more information.
This project included renovations and building systems replacement/upgrades at the Department of Vehicle Services’ West Ox Maintenance Facility, which provides vehicle maintenance and repair services for Fire and Rescue apparatus, heavy and light duty trucks, and FCPS school buses.

Gravity Sewer on Langley Lane
Force main from Langley High School to Georgetown Pike
This project consisted of replacement of the North wing roof and repair to the load bearing South wall. Deteriorating structural conditions resulted in visible sagging in the roof, bowing, undulating and cracking of the South wall. With a goal to preserve and reuse to the extent possible, the project consisted of removing the roof, reconstructing the south wall with salvaged bricks and matching mortar, and replacing/reusing rafters and slate roof tiles. The historic ornamental ridge crest was stripped of lead paint, repaired, repainted, and re-mounted.

Walton Boulevard Reconstruction, APWA Project of the YearOHM Advisors
http://www.ohm-advisors.com. An APWA award-winning project, reconstructing Walton Boulevard, in the City of Auburn Hills, was no easy task. Start with 1.5 miles of road, an old bridge over a major freeway, and three government owners. Then, throw in high priority federal and state funding deadlines and a five month schedule to complete. No problem. If you're OHM, and you're committed to Advancing Communities!
June 26, 2020 -- PEC seeks to secure contracted professional engineering services to complete (1) a Geotechnical Report and (2) a Final Design for fish-friendly and flood-resilient structures to replace culverts at ONLY the Piney River (VA Rt. 653) pilot project site in Rappahannock County, VA.
The project connects sections of sidewalks along the northbound side of Center Road, between Rolling Spring Court and Reza Court. The construction included the installation of concrete sidewalk, curb ramps and driveways, road widening, milling and paving, soldier pile retaining wall, storm drainpipes and structures, water main relocation, installing new signage, and relocating existing signs.
Foundation Design For the abutment and footing design, soil anal.docxbudbarber38650
Foundation Design
For the abutment and footing design, soil analysis was required to determine allowable design loads. Our geotechnical engineers have provided a thoroughly soil reports and calculations for the abutment and is located in Appendix XX. With our design constraints, our structural engineers have come to concluded that spread footing design is best for our pedestrian bridge.
Design Criteria
Based on the geotechnical reports, our structural engineers have designed our abutment and footing to transfer the loads from the pedestrian bridge to the underlying soil and to prevent the soil from tipping the abutment over. Our structural team have worked closely with our geotechnical team to design an abutment that capable to support a 144 Kips (Dead + Live) loads coming from the bridge, and to not exceed the bearing capacity of 4000 psf. With the vertical depth of the abutment and footing of 26 ft, our teams already take into consideration that our footing need to be 3 ft below the channel to prevent the soil erosion below the footing. Our abutment and footing will be design for overturning moment and shear coming from soil pushing into the abutment wall. All stresses have been accounted for and designed to be able to handle the above mentioned stresses, all calculations are included in Appendix XX. Both abutment and footing are the same on both end span of the bridge.
Our structural engineers will use 4000 psi concrete, and 60000 psi steel for the abutment and footing design. The abutment dimensions will be 15 ft wide by 24 ft height and thickness of 4 ft. The footing will have dimensions of 15 ft wide by 2 ft depth a thickness of 12 ft.
With the dimensions of abutment and footing calculated, the righting moment created by reinforced concrete is much larger than the overturning moment pushing against it and is adequate for the bridge support.
