The project was a collaborative effort between all of the stakeholders, the design team, and the construction team which overcame multiple challenges with historical/archaeological sites, endangered species, wetlands, karst features, and rugged terrain. The completion of this project has seen the realization of the primary vision of a direct connection between two major economic drivers in the area and provides direct access to the East End Crossing Project.

United Presents at the INDOT Bridge Inspection Conference!
There were a few familiar United faces among the presenters during this year’s INDOT Bridge Inspection Conference.
United’s Chris Dyer and Scott Minnich teamed up with Bill Dittrich, Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Bridge Inspection Assistant Program Manager, to deliver a presentation on Critical Findings.

United’s Chris Andrzejewski teamed up with Jennifer Hart, INDOT Bridge Evaluation Team Manager, and Amy Huebschman of EMCS to present on Load Rating Metal Structures and Concrete Under Fill Arches.

Beech Grove Franciscan Greenway Trail – PHASE I
The city of Beech Grove residents can now enjoy increased community connectivity through a fun and safe trail uniting schools, parks, and businesses throughout central Beech Grove!
United completed Phase I of the Franciscan Trail, a 12-foot-wide, shared-use, asphalt pathway spanning 2.2 miles in length, beginning west of Churchman Avenue on Main Street and extending to Emerson Avenue and Hornet Avenue.
Constructed using an HMA for sidewalk typical sections composed of 3.5 inches of HMA on six inches of compacted aggregate on Type 3 subgrade treatment, the majority of the trail follows along Lick Creek and also incorporates ADA compliant ramps and trail entrances.
Four bridges were also included as part of the Franciscan Trail – Phase I project: three structures crossing Lick Creek and one structure crossing Beech Creek near the eastern construction limits.
United provided construction inspection services for this $3.5 million greenway trail. A key component which contributed to the trail’s success was United’s effective communication and coordination of construction activities with the multiple property owners along the path.
DPW Safe Routes to Transit North
United worked with Calumet Civil Contractors, Inc. to successfully complete the $4.8 million Safe Routes to Transit North project for the City of Indianapolis Department of Public Works (DPW) — all while saving the City approximately $200,000 and finishing ahead of schedule!
The project’s goal was to increase public access and safety to the Red Line bus route, encompassing a six-mile area from 25th Street to 66th Street and including over 30 neighborhoods east and west of College Avenue.
The Safe Routes to Transit project replaced 301 ramps at 89 intersections and added a bike lane with island planters that travels past the Ivy Tech campus on Illinois from Fall Creek to 27th Street. United provided construction inspection services.
United makes Best Places to Work in Indiana 2022
United Consulting was recently named as one of the Best Places to Work in Indiana. This 17th annual program was created by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce.
The statewide survey and awards program is designed to evaluate participating organizations and honor those with the highest levels of employee satisfaction and engagement in the workplace. This year’s list is made up of 125 companies.
“We have many tremendous employers in the state, so it’s great to see more and more companies take part in this effort to evaluate their workplace cultures and gain the recognition they deserve,” says Indiana Chamber President Kevin Brinegar. “These companies consistently demonstrate to their employees how much they value their contributions.”
To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements:
– Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government organization;
– Be a publicly or privately held organization;
– Have a physical operation in Indiana;
– Have at least 15 full- or part-time permanent employees working in Indiana;
– Have been in business for at least one year, at the program registration deadline.
Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Indiana. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process, the Employer Assessment, was worth approximately 20% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process, the Employee Feedback Survey, was worth approximately 80% of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Workforce Research Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Indiana, analyzed the data, and determined the final rankings.
