I-40 Bridge Replacement - Saint Francis County, Arkansas

This project included the construction of two bridges on I-40 east of Forest City, Arkansas. The east bridge included piles driven to depths of 50- and 70-feet and were encapsulated in concrete above the ground line. The bridge is designed to withstand earthquakes. Work also included the demolition of the original west bound bridge and construction of a new replacement bridge.

North & South Bridges 453.2 over Us 60 and 453.5 over the Canadian River - <span class=\"location\">Canadian, Texas</span>

North & South Bridges 453.2 over Us 60 and 453.5 over the Canadian River - Canadian, Texas

This project included the addition of three new bridges for Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway’s massive “double-track” project (Los Angeles to Chicago) at Canadian, Texas. Each of the bridges consisted of pier foundations on massive driven h-piling groups. Approximately 45,000 lineal feet of steel piling was driven on this project. Pier footings were designed approximately 12 feet below existing grade, which resulted in each of 15 footings to be excavated, coffered (sheet piling cofferdam), and dewatered. Pier construction occurred predominately during very cold Texas Panhandle winter weather conditions, requiring all massive cast-in-place concrete sections to be insulated and heated for multiple days at a time.

SH-20 Emergency Repair - Bank Stabilization - <span class=\"location\">Claremore, Oklahoma</span>

SH-20 Emergency Repair - Bank Stabilization - Claremore, Oklahoma

This State Highway 20 project included stabilization of the roadway after excessive rain caused subsurface failure resulting in collapse of a 1/4 mile section of Highway 20. The major repair work consisted of two compressive restraint steel sheet pile retaining walls and one rock buttress wall. One was located at the edge of the roadway and another was offset by a 100-foot down slope. These walls consisted of solder piles, encased in concrete and connected to the sheet piling wall via H pile braces which were welded to an H pile whaler tied to the sheeting. A rock butress of 10,000 tons of quarry stone was placed at the base of the slope for increased stabilization. Three crews, working seven days a week enabled the highway to be re-opened to traffic in only 38 days.
