RESIDENT ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Our firm provided resident engineering services for the improvements to US Route 2 in South Burlington between Exit 14 and the US 2 / Spear Street / East Avenue intersection. This portion of US Route 2 is a principal urban arterial that consisted of six to seven travel lanes and provides a vital link between I-89 at Exit 14 and points eastward to downtown Burlington, the University of Vermont, the University of Vermont Medical Center, and Champlain College. The project design added a third eastbound travel lane by widening the roadway approximately 16 ft., which allowed for improvements to public transportation and vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic. Our firm conducted shop drawing review, prepared daily inspection documentation, directed traffic control measures, measured and documented construction pay quantities, and served as the communication hub between the contractor, the City of South Burlington, VTrans, and the abutting property owners. Our firm also prepared record drawings for the project.

Our firm was selected by the Town of Colchester to provide resident engineering services for the Colchester Mountain View Drive Sidewalk Project. Our firm served as the main contact representing the Town of Colchester, and we were responsible for construction inspection and testing services. The project required approximately 2,000 linear feet of cement concrete sidewalks, handicap ramps, utility relocation, Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon crosswalks, and associated landscaping and drainage improvements to the project area.

During construction, we maintained photographic records of the construction’s progress and ensured that the contractor was complying with all construction contract requirements, permits, and ordinances. We inspected and approved material sources, recorded material certifications, and reviewed and all traffic control configurations. Our resident engineering services also included material quantity calculation and documentation.

DLHCE provided complete surveying, engineering design, bidding, and resident engineering services for the full reconstruction of the roadway, curbing, and sidewalks along Woods End Drive in the Village of Essex Junction from Rivendell to Acorn Circle. This project’s design required consideration for the significant amount of groundwater in a portion of the project site and the high clay content in the subsurface soil.

The City of Vergennes selected our firm to provide resident engineering services for the Vergennes STP BP15(6) Pedestrian Improvements Project. The project added new 5 ft. wide concrete sidewalks, stormwater improvements, and new Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacon crosswalks. Our firm served as the main contact representing the City of Vergennes and was responsible for construction inspection and testing services to ensure the project was completed according to the approved plans and specifications.

DLHCE provided municipal project management and resident engineering services for this LTF funded project, which included improvements to every approach leg of one of the busiest intersections in Vermont. These improvements included waterline replacement, new curbing, new sidewalk, new lighting, new signals, new signage, and intersection repaving. We prepared photo-realistic images of the Five Corners intersection with mast arm-type traffic signals and a revised streetscape, which became the basis for the design of a comprehensive streetscape and lighting improvement project.

Our firm provided complete surveying, engineering design, and resident engineering services to replace a large galvanized metal culvert that conveyed groundwater and stormwater across Malletts Bay Avenue. The project restored drainage channels and required the installation of an energy mitigation structure. The engineering services included roadway inventory and culvert condition documentation and assessment of related infrastructure, including pavement, roadway geometry, subsurface conditions, drainage, existing utilities, and culvert components. We also performed in-depth hydraulic and hydrologic analysis to ensure the design provided long-term durability and function.

We provided complete surveying, engineering design, bidding, permitting, and resident engineering services for the full construction of the roadway, curbing, and lighting of the Campus Loop Road at Saint Michael’s College. The new 24 ft. wide, 700 ft. long roadway connects the existing roadways within the campus to allow travel throughout the campus from more than one entry point.

DLHCE provided resident engineering, construction inspection, and supervision of testing services for the Jericho Sidewalk Project developed through the VTrans Local Transportation Facilities program. Our firm served as the main contact representing the Town of Jericho, responsible for construction inspection and testing services to ensure the project was completed according to the approved plans and specifications. The project included bituminous concrete and cement sidewalks, curb ramps with detectable warnings, and associated landscaping and drainage improvements to the project area.

DLHCE delivered complete surveying, engineering design, bidding, and resident engineering services for the full reconstruction of the roadway along Algonquin Avenue in the Village of Essex Junction. The project also included replacing the existing waterline. Innovative construction techniques were used during roadway reconstruction using foam insulation for stabilization over frost susceptible soils.

Our firm was selected by the Town of Shelburne to provide resident engineering services for the Shelburne STP BP14(5) and STP SDWK(24) Pedestrian Improvements Project. The project added a new 5 ft. wide concrete sidewalk, drainage improvements, signing, striping, crosswalks, and landscaping. All resident engineering, construction inspection, and testing services for the project were performed in accordance with the VTrans Municipal Assistance Bureau.
