Project Description:  146th Street Extension Project from SR 37 to Boden Road; four-lane urban section designed to allow for future six-lane urban expansion, including landscaped median, multi-use paths, and curb & gutter; three miles of new roadway on new alignment combined with pavement reconstruction and widening, including two bridges.

This roadway extension and added travel lanes project necessitated the completion of an Environmental Assessment. Major environmental services investigated during the completion of this documentation included a noise analysis, wetland determination and delineation.  It also included coordinating with the Local MPO to ensure compatibility with the Regional Transportation Plan and air conformity analysis.  The project resulted in extensive coordination with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the US Army Corps of Engineers due to project impacts upon wetlands.  The project resulted in a Section 401 Water Quality Certification from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and an Individual Permit from the US Army Corps of Engineers.

Approximate Project Cost:  $26,000,000

Breadth of Services Provided:  Survey, Project Management Services, Roadway Design, Hydraulic Design, Retention Pond Design & Plans, Environmental Services, Regulatory Permit Management, and Construction Inspection

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:  In response to the requirement to reduce combined sewer overflows to the White River and increase the structural integrity of old brick sewers, the city of Anderson installed a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner with the following key elements:

  • 85 million gallons per day bypass pumping system
  • 1,170 feet of 84-inch CIPP liner
  • 2,300 feet of 96-inch CIPP liner
  • 9 manhole liners

United Consulting initially reviewed various rehabilitation and reconstruction techniques and systems.  Multiple lining systems were bid and the cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner system was selected and installed.

Due to the disruption to the neighborhood, public outreach was conducted including public meetings and project presentations, newspaper ads, Facebook, and other media.  The public was updated weekly in regards to traffic and other impacts.

Approximate Cost:  $3.85 M

Breadth of Services Provided by UNITED:  Survey, Replacement and Rehabilitation Alternative Evaluation, Design, Bid Phase Assistance, Public Outreach and Meetings, Construction Administration, and Periodic Construction Inspection
