Project Description:  Historically, the City had experienced problems with Inflow/Infiltration (I/I) in its system and its treatment plant was in need of rehabilitation or replacement.  The City contracted with United Consulting to review the 3-year-old studies, further investigate the system and update any applicable data.  United Consulting prepared the City’s Wastewater Compliance Plan required by the State of Indiana. Also, United Consulting prepared a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) for an SRF loan to construct a new 1.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant.  The plant includes a new Laboratory and Office Building, headworks with fine screening and pump equipment, oxidation ditch, secondary clarifiers, uv disinfection, aerobic digestion, and geotextile bag dewatering facilities.

Approximate Project Cost:  $5,000,000

Breadth of Services Provided:  Survey, Planning, Preliminary Engineering, Design Engineering, and Construction Administration

Project Description:  The City of Sullivan found itself involved with Enforcement Action with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The existing Lagoon Wastewater Treatment Plant could not comply with its upcoming NPDES Limits.  United Consulting evaluated the existing facility and prepared the required Water Quality Standards Compliance Plan for the City. A new mechanical wastewater treatment plant was proposed and the Preliminary Engineering Report required for the State Revolving Fund Loan Program was approved.  United Consulting also assisted the City in obtaining a $500,000 grant from the Indiana Office of Rural Affairs. The project is completed and operating within the City’s NPDES Permit Requirements.

Project Description:  The US 27 over I-70 bridge is a two-span continuous composite steel plate girder structure with a total length of 182 feet.  It consists of a complex geometry and design with access ramps tying in at each corner of this single point interchange.

This interchange was designed to increase traffic flow by reducing the number of traffic signals to efficiently move traffic to and from the ramps and along US 27 mainline.  Large “edge girder” members were designed with connections to multiple members which carry the forces and moments to the large splice plates which rest on pot bearing s located on either side of the center pier.  More than 430 tons of structural steel and over 2000 cubic yards of concrete were used for this structure.  Curved, open window, decorative bridge railing sits atop the bridge deck, and tinted ashlar block architectural treatment accent the pier face and retaining walls below.

Approximate Project Cost:  $2,700,000

Project Description:  Rehabilitation of a 100-Year Old Historic earth-filled concrete spandrel arch bridge carrying Ferry Street over Vermont Street and Charles Creek.

This bridge rehabilitation project needed the completion of a Categorical Exclusion, Level 3 / Programmatic Section 4 (f).  This type of environmental documentation was required due to the project’s impact on a bridge identified as a candidate for the National Register of Historic Places.  As a result, the project required exhaustive coordination with Section 106 Consulting Agencies in an effort to satisfy historic concerns.  Stipulations remediating the project’s effect on the bridge were documented in a Memorandum of Agreement.  Additionally, the bridge was also photographically documented in accordance with current standards as stipulated in the project’s Memorandum of Agreement.

Approximate Project Cost:  $750,000

Breadth of Services Provided:  Survey, Environmental Services, Bridge Design, and Construction Inspection

Project Description:  The project consisted of the reconstruction of a two-way urban road with a two-way turn lane and two major intersection improvements with one signalization and one roundabout.  The intersection was initially scoped as a signalization, but determined that a roundabout would operate at a higher level of service (LOS) and have safer operations.  The maintenance of traffic for this project included a significant closure on 96th Street which is a heavy commuter route.  The success of the MOT was a result of good communication with the bordering properties, exceptional advanced route detour signing, and disseminated public information.

Approximate Project Cost:  $2,800,000

Project Description:  The rehabilitation of the I-70 bridge over the Wabash River in Vigo County required extensive research in order to develop a rehabilitation project that would meet the needs of the State while maintaining traffic during construction. The bridge is 1,961 feet long with 21 spans consisting of steel rolled beams and steel plate girders with a reinforced concrete deck. Preliminary design included multiple options for widening the existing bridge which compared construction cost, user cost, and impacts to sensitive environmental areas around the Wabash River. United successfully developed a project that met all of this criteria while also meeting the user demand for continuous use during construction.

Approximate Project Cost:  $12,000,000

Breadth of Services Provided:  Bridge Inspection, Scope Development, Value Engineering, Environmental Document, Supplemental Topographic Survey, Highway Design, Bridge Design, and Regulatory Permit Acquisition.
