Project Description: The State Street Connection Project serves as an initiative to encourage economic growth and development within East Columbus by reconnecting it with Downtown Columbus. The project created a wider side path along the north side of State Street from Central Avenue to Mapleton Street and also included significant architectural enhancements to the Haw Creek Bridge, the incorporation of new greenspaces, and the addition of sculptural elements along the path. Consistent with the City’s branding scheme, the sculptural elements and crosswalks incorporate the Dancing Cs. A new gateway feature was constructed at the intersection of Central Avenue, delineating the entrance into East Columbus and providing an upgraded connection to the Columbus People Trail.

Project Description:  This multi-agency project with INDOT, City of Fishers, and Hamilton County provided a new interchange on I-69 at 106th street that has served as a catalyst for economic development while reducing congestion along the busy I-69 corridor. The purpose of the project was to create a new access point to I-69 and improve the traffic operations of the adjacent interchanges at 96th Street and 116th Street. United was selected and worked through the evaluation of the different interchange alternatives. The chosen alternative for the interchange featured a two-lane, oval-shaped roundabout on 106th Street over I-69 including ramps to and from both directions of the interstate. Two separate two-lane bridges carry one direction of traffic. The westbound traffic bridge on the north side of 106th Street was also designed to accommodate pedestrians.

Project Description: The project included pumping and screening upgrades at a headworks facility with hydraulic capacity of 30 MGD. The existing headworks structure was reconfigured following the removal of two screw pumps with the addition of parallel fine mechanical screens, dual washer compactors, four submersible pumps with variable frequency drives (VFDs) and automated controls, slide gates, a trolley hoist assembly, and headworks screening building. Floatables and debris entering the plant were reduced, as well as improved reliability, control, and monitoring of pumping operations. The original/overall design was also provided by United staff in the 1990s.

Project Description: Cicero had a failing water system in the Hidden Bay neighborhood. The system was old and leaking and in some cases installed below or immediately adjacent to resident’s homes. As the watermain experienced breaks, town personnel performed hand excavations to complete repairs, which resulted in unsafe conditions for workers and residents. United assisted the town with the OCRA grant pursuit. After successfully receiving the grant, United designed improvements to replace approximately 2,400 feet of watermain with appurtenances, which relocated the system to the road right-of-way where it could be safely maintained.
