TxDOT’s $243.7M SH 178 Project Debuts Near El Paso

A Cat motor grader helps create a new traffic lane on Artcraft Road.

By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Sundt Construction Co. began construction of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) $243.7 million State Highway 178 (Artcraft Road) project on April 7 — work that covers a bit more than 3 mi. of highway from the Texas-New Mexico state line to Interstate 10 in El Paso.

The project, which is being financed by federal and state funds, is expected to be completed in 2030.

The initiative’s goals are two-fold: enhance safety for motorists and improve mobility in the fast-developing corridor.

“These changes will streamline traffic at the Artcraft

Road/I-10 interchange, enhance east-west travel between New Mexico 136 and I-10, and improve access from cargo facilities to the Santa Teresa Border Crossing,” said Lauren Macias-Cervantes, a TxDOT spokesperson. “The area adjacent to SH 178 has been subject to rapid residential and commercial development. It has created a need to improve safety and reduce traffic congestion along the corridor, as well as at the intersecting streets of Westside Drive and Upper Valley Road.

“Additionally, development near and around the SH 178/I-10 interchange, including West Towne Marketplace, resulted in a traffic increase of 34 percent from 2017 to 2020, creating the need to reduce traffic congestion in this area. see ARTCRAFT page 22

DFW, American Airlines Announce Terminal Plan Expansion Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and American Airlines announced on May 1, 2025, an agreement to accelerate and expand the scope of the airport’s new Terminal F by doubling the number of gates, adding facilities to grow international operations, expanding customer amenities, creating a single building for passenger check-in and more.

The new plan extends the Use and Lease Agreement between DFW and American to 2043 and increases the estimated Terminal F investment to about $4 billion to create what will be DFW’s signature terminal experience, serviced entirely by American.

In 2023, DFW and American Airlines reached a new 10-year Use and Lease Agreement with pre-approved capital investments, including the construction of Terminal F as a 15-gate facility which passengers would access from Terminal E via the airport’s Skylink system. Future plans included the addition of dedicated areas for ticketing, check-in, security screening, baggage claim and parking facilities.

The design-build team for the Terminal F concourse and Skylink station is Innovation Next+, a joint venture comprised of Archer Western Construction, Turner Construction Co., Phillips May

Corp., H.J. Russell & Co. and CARCON Industries, with PGAL, Gensler and Muller2 as design team members.

With a positive long-term outlook for growth in passengers and of North Texas, the Terminal F expansion program will now include all the previously planned phases ahead of schedule. This consequential investment will expand the scope of Terminal F to deliver additional capacity for widebody aircraft and international flight processing and includes additional spaces for A rendering of Terminal F amenities, more shops Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker, and restaurants, and pubDFW Board of Directors Chair lic art.

With the new vision for Terminal F, the airport’s ongoing DFW Forward capital plan now has a total of more than $12 billion in transformational investments, either planned or under way, that will provide major improvements and expansions across the airport’s extensive facilities and complex infrastructure over the next several years. This includes the approximately $3 billion program under way to completely reimagine and expand Terminal C, as well as expand Terminal A.  (All renderings courtesy of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.)

TSLAC Holds Groundbreaking for New $210M Archive The Texas State Library and Archives Commission (TSLAC), in partnership with the Texas Facilities Commission (TFC), held groundbreaking ceremonies for its new $210 million Archival and Records Storage Facility on May 7, 2025, on Riggins Bend Road in Pflugerville, Texas.

The new 242,000-sq.-ft. facility will house TSLAC’s State and Local Record Management Division’s records storage and imaging center; the Archives and Information Services Division’s collection processing space and archival records storage; and the Talking Book Program’s circulation department and recording studios, as well as agency offices supporting these and other programs.

TFC used a design-build procurement process to acquire the site and fast-track the design and development of the project. JE Dunn Construction and McKinney York

Texas State Library and Archives Commission

Officials break ground on May 7, 2025, at the future home of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.

Architects were selected as the design-build firm. TFC hired Broaddus USA as the project management firm to support the team.

Together, these firms have developed an aggressive timeline for the completion of the

new facility by the fall of 2027.

The 88th Texas Legislature funded the $210 million project to preserve state government records and historical artifacts.

“We are thrilled to announce this crucial

expansion,” said TSLAC Director and Librarian Gloria Meraz. “The new facility will allow TSLAC to expand our work to ensure the preservation of the state’s rich legacy of historical records, as well as supporting more than 150 state agencies, 10,000 units of local government, researchers, readers with disabilities and Texans in every corner of the state.”

This new modern archival center will replace the existing storage facility on Shoal Creek Boulevard in Austin with almost double the storage capacity while reserving space for future growth on the new campus.

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission provides Texans access to the information they need to be informed, productive citizens by preserving the archival record of Texas.

TxDOT Announces U.S. 90 West Project in San Antonio

Texas Department of Transportation rendering

A rendering of the U.S. 90 project upon completion

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced that construction on the $500 million U.S. Highway 90 West Expansion Project on the west side of San Antonio is set to begin in late 2025, according to heresantonio.com.

The initiative aims to expand U.S. Highway 90 to six lanes and enhance connectivity for the region’s growing traffic, especially between Loop 410 and State Highway 211 in west Bexar County.

While construction will begin in late 2025, the exact starting date is to be determined, according to heresanantonio.com.

The project’s first phase, which is fully funded at approximately $161 million, is expected to last approximately four years. It will focus on widening U.S. 90 and improving the access roads. That includes constructing flyover ramps linking U.S. 90 and Loop 1604.

Heresanantonio.com reported that traffic volumes on the section of U.S. 90 have grown by more than 70 percent in the last decade, with projections estimating that the daily vehicle count will increase to 150,000 vehicles per day over the next 20 years.

Much of that increase is due to the town of Castroville, which is west of San Antonio on U.S. 90, growing rapidly. Foresitecre.com reported that the area’s total market population of 132,678 is expected to increase to

154,605 by 2028.

The project is expected to reduce future travel times by as much as 90 percent, according to heresanantonio.com.

A second phase of the project will focus on extending U.S. 90 from Loop 1604 to State Highway 211, increasing the number of lanes from four to six.

Phase two is projected to start in 2028, with completion anticipated in 2032. The estimated cost is approximately $339 million, although it is only partially funded now.

Electronic toll collection systems are under consideration for future operations across the newly expanded roadways.

The timelines for future phases remain unclear, according to heresanantonio.com.

Aside from traffic improvements, the project is designed to enhance the overall regional infrastructure. The construction of flyover ramps is slated for completion sometime around 2034, although that timetable is subject to changes in funding and scheduling.

As with all major projects, dates and financial estimates are subject to revision, depending on various factors, including construction conditions and funding allocations, according to heresanantonio.com.

Mysantonio.com reported that TxDOT began drafting the project in 2016. 

Haven for Hope Tackles Overhaul With Lift From JCB

Haven for Hope upgraded its lighting with an assist from the JCB S1932E electric scissor lift.

The JCB S1932E electric scissor lift has proven invaluable to Haven for Hope.

On the west side of downtown San Antonio, there’s a place where hope isn’t just a mission — it’s a daily operation.

Haven for Hope spans 22 acres and 13 buildings, providing shelter and critical services to more than 1,600 people every day. It’s a lifeline for families, individuals and children experiencing homelessness, offering a pathway to stability.

Running a facility of this scale takes a small army of dedicated staff, including a 30-member facilities and logistics team working around the clock to keep things moving. From security to sanitation, lighting to life safety, every system must function seamlessly to support the people who rely on Haven.

And when something as basic and critical as lighting becomes a problem, the ripple effects are wide. By late 2024, Haven’s aging lighting infrastructure was falling short.

Fixtures were failing energy costs were climbing and the facility’s ability to safely light critical areas was compromised. With 243 fixtures stretched across a vast array of indoor and outdoor spaces, the challenge wasn’t just technical — it was mission-critical.

Ceilings soared as high as 25 ft. The workspaces beneath them — bullpens, cubicles and community-use areas — were tight and always active. The maintenance team’s existing scissor lift couldn’t reach high enough for the retrofit.

Rentals were costly and difficult to schedule. Ladders weren’t safe. And delays weren’t an option.

What they needed was a smarter, safer, more reliable way to get the job done — and fast.

City Within a City For San Antonio’s homeless community and support organizations, Haven isn’t just a shelter. It’s a fully integrated care campus, where more than 75 partner organizations — including the San Antonio Food Bank, YMCA, Center for Health Care Services and Thrive Youth Services — collaborate to provide holistic services that help clients regain housing, employment and health.

The operation is constant. Lights can’t flicker in a 24/7 facility, pathways must be well-lit for the safety of residents

and staff, and repairs can’t interfere with the deeply personal work being done every day in counseling offices, medical wings and family housing units.

“This is a hard-run, hard-lived facility,” said Earvin Reinhardt, director of logistics and facilities management of Haven for Hope. “We’ve been in this space for 15 years, and it shows — we’re constantly battling wear and tear. Our job is to make sure it continues to be a safe and functional place where people can rebuild their lives.”

The LED retrofit project was the first step in a larger capital improvement plan designed to modernize infrastructure and reduce long-term costs. But making it happen — with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency — would require a boost.

Timely Lift in More Ways Than One That boost came from JCB. Through its San Antoniobased dealer, BOSS JCB, the company donated a JCB S1932E electric scissor lift — purpose-built for indoor environments with height and maneuverability challenges.

With a platform height of 19 ft. and a working height of 25 ft. the lift hit the project’s sweet spot. Its narrow 2-ft., 8in. frame could fit through tight corridors and cubicles, while the 3-ft. deck extension made it possible to reach over obstacles without constant repositioning. And because it’s fully electric, the lift operated cleanly and quietly indoors — an essential feature in a campus that never sleeps.

“We were navigating bullpens and active office spaces where people were working and receiving services,” said Earvin Reinhardt, director of logistics and facilities management. “It wasn’t just about replacing lights — it was about doing it safely, quickly and without disrupting the flow of care. The lift was a game changer. It allowed us to work efficiently without renting or borrowing equipment, which saved time, money and kept the project moving. And it ran flawlessly the entire time.”

Industry estimates show that renting a comparable scissor lift for three weeks would have cost between $1,200 and $2,100 — money the nonprofit was able to reinvest elsewhere. More importantly, the JCB lift helped the team com-

plete the entire retrofit on time and under budget, even after a winter cold snap temporarily delayed progress.

Right Tool for the Right Team Reinhardt’s crew had experience operating scissor lifts, so getting up to speed was easy. But the upgraded controls and features on the S1932E were a welcome surprise.

“Being able to control the lift from the platform, combined with how smooth and precise it was, really showed us the difference the right equipment can make in both safety and productivity,” he said.

While the facility already owned a smaller scissor lift, it simply couldn’t meet the height requirements of this project.

Now, with two electric scissor lifts in rotation, the maintenance team can tackle a wider range of tasks more quickly — doing everything from replacing signage and bulbs to installing pigeon netting and performing HVAC work.

“This one piece of equipment has increased our efficiency across campus operations,” Reinhardt said. “It’s helping us stretch every dollar and better serve the people who count on us.”

Bright Start to Bigger Things Today, Haven for Hope shines a little brighter — literally and figuratively. The LED lighting upgrade improved visibility and safety while cutting projected energy costs by more than $8,000 annually. More than that, the project reaffirmed what’s possible when mission-driven organizations and socially responsible businesses work together.

For an organization that touches 80 percent of San Antonio’s homeless population and serves 1,388 children across 611 family households each year, every operational improvement has real impact.

And thanks to a single lift — delivered at just the right time — the path forward is now a little clearer for everyone at Haven for Hope.  (All photos courtesy of BOSS JCB.) Story by Arielle Windham.

Coleman and Patterson Hosts XL Oilfield Services Auction

O

n May 16, 2025, more than 500 lots of tools, trucks, trailers and heavy machinery were sold during a retirement auction for XL Oilfield Services LLC. The event at 1492 State Highway 97 E in Gonzales, Texas, was managed by Coleman and Patterson Auctioneers and marked the retirement of XL Oilfield Services company owners Paul and Melissa Prove. The sale drew more than 500 bidders both online and in person.

Founded in October 2011, XL Oilfield Services provided maintenance and construction services across the Texas oilfield sector for more than 14 years. The company specialized in setting up tank batteries, separators, flow lines and aerial tank work, along with emergency leak repairs. The business employed more than 100 people and operated 41 trucks and 23 trailers.

“We built this company from a single crew to more than 100 employees at one point,” Paul Prove said. “We’ve been blessed, and now it’s time to take a step back and retire.”

The equipment fleet featured at the auction was powered almost exclusively by Case equipment, sourced from Nueces Power Equipment.

“NPE has always been our go-to. Their support is phenomenal. they’re a service company’s best friend,” Prove said. “From the owner to every staff member, they treat you like family. That culture of appreciation is real, and it made a difference in how we operated.”

“The last few years, I haven’t been in the field due to health reasons,” Prove said. “That’s really what brought us to this decision. We’re in a good place, and it’s time to move on while we’re ahead.”

Prove said he’s most looking forward to “peace of mind” in retirement.

The strong turnout at the sale reflected the company’s respected reputation and the quality of its equipment, closing the chapter on a business that left its mark on the South Texas oilfield community.  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2025 Construction Equipment Guide.

Balfour Beatty Secures $889M TxDOT Interstate 30 Contract Balfour Beatty announced on April 24, 2025, that it was awarded a $889 million contract by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to reconstruct part of Interstate 30 through Dallas.

Balfour Beatty will reconstruct a 2.3-mi. section of the route on the east side of Dallas County. On completion, the scheme will increase the number of general-purpose lanes from six to 12 to improve congestion and connectivity across the city.

In addition, the company will construct nine crossings that will link I-30 with the Southern Gateway, the Interstate 35E Lowest Stemmons and The Horseshoe, all of which Balfour Beatty has completed on behalf of the Texas Department of Transportation over the last five years.

“We are thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with TxDOT on this transformative project that will reshape mobility in downtown Dallas,” said Dan Young, Balfour Beatty vice president of civils operations in the Southwest. “Our team’s deep experience delivering complex projects in this corridor, combined with our thorough understanding of the area’s infra-

structure positions us perfectly to execute this critical work along with our industry partners. We’re honored to provide connectivity and safety enhancements through the I-30 Canyon project, which represents more than just highway improvements — it’s about strengthening communities and creating lasting economic opportunities for the region.”

This contract award follows Balfour Beatty’s appointment by TxDOT to rebuild part of I-35 through Austin. The contract, valued at $746 million was awarded in November 2024.

Leo Quinn, Balfour Beatty Group CEO, said: “This contract award builds on Balfour Beatty’s 30-year relationship with the Texas Department of Transportation and our history of successful delivery.

“Our deep expertise in delivering complex road schemes in Dallas, combined with our unrivalled understanding of the area’s infrastructure positions us perfectly to deliver these critical works which will not only improve connectivity and congestion, but create lasting economic opportunities for the region.”

Preconstruction will commence in 2026 and is estimated to last five years. 

UT Southwestern Begins $177M Radiation Oncology Campus The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center broke ground on May 12, 2025, on a $177 million radiation oncology campus in Fort Worth that will provide the most advanced therapies for patients of the nation’s 12th-largest city.

The 65,000-sq.-ft. facility, which will include the city’s first MRI-guided precision radiation treatment, is expected to meet the growing demands for cancer care in Fort Worth and the surrounding area for decades to come. The campus is projected to open in 2028 and will be connected to UT Southwestern’s Moncrief Cancer Institute in the city’s Medical District.

“This milestone, once completed, will ensure that Tarrant County residents have access to the best available cancer care, combining the latest advances in medical technology with the expertise of our clinicians and researchers, who are some of the top cancer specialists in the country,” said Daniel K. Podolsky, president of UT Southwestern.

“Fort Worth is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, and our high quality of life is a major driver of that growth,” Fort Worth Mayor Mattie Parker said. “To continue to meet this moment, we need worldclass health and cancer care. We know UT

Southwestern is at the center of that.”

A lead gift from philanthropists Sherri and Robert “Bobby” L. Patton Jr. is helping to make the new expansion possible. Their support underscores the vital role of private philanthropy in advancing UT Southwestern’s impact and ensuring that patients across the region have access to the most cutting-edge radiation oncology services close to home.

“Fort Worth is one of the greatest cities in America. It should have great cancer care.

This expansion will bring cutting-edge tech-

nology and vital health care to our community,” Sherri Patton said.

As many as two-thirds of cancer patients need radiation therapy, and the UT Southwestern expansion will create the largest radiation oncology facility in the Fort Worth area, broadening access for patients of all oncologists and offering a convenient location close to home for patients living in Fort Worth and the surrounding area, who often require regular or daily trips for this lifesaving treatment.

The new facility will feature:

University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center rendering

The 65,000-sq.-ft. radiation oncology facility will offer the first MRI-guided precision radiation treatment in Fort Worth.

• Four linear accelerators (LINACs) to deliver precise radiation treatments to patients, with space to add two more LINACs to meet future demand.

• MRI-guided precision radiation treatment — the first of its kind in Fort Worth – to facilitate therapy with unprecedented accuracy.

• Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, which is critical for accurately diagnosing and evaluating tumor growth.

• A fully equipped brachytherapy suite to provide high-dose radiation treatments for patients with prostate or gynecologic cancers.

UT Southwestern’s cancer program is ranked among the top 25 out of 4,500 hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, and its Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center in North Texas and one of only 57 in the nation.

UTSW also has the largest individual facility for radiation oncology in North Texas, with some of the most sophisticated treatment machines in the world.

Moncrief Cancer Institute has been a part of UT Southwestern since 1999, offering screening programs and educational and support services for multiple counties. 

SH 178 Project Building Direct Connectors to Interstate 10 ARTCRAFT from page 1

A utility pole is guided into place at an intersection.

“Furthermore, the project is of regional and international significance as SH 178 provides a connection between the Santa Teresa Border Crossing to the National Highway Freight Network of I-10,” she added. “The Santa Teresa Port of Entry, situated at the border between Santa Teresa, New Mexico, and San Jerónimo, and Chihuahua, Mexico, has been a vital gateway since its establishment in 1992.

Just minutes away from Texas, its strategic location contributes to its importance in facilitating trade and travel between the United States and Mexico.”

The roadway also is a direct commercial route to and from the Union Pacific Railroad Intermodal Facility, near the port.

“It’s no surprise residents have experienced increased congestion and travel delays,” Macias-Cervantes said. “The mix of truck and passenger vehicles using the thoroughfare every day has raised concerns about safety, including encounters with large freight vehicles. One specific issue involves wind turbine blades as long as 200 feet that are regularly transported through the corridor. This type of cargo has difficulty maneuvering turns at intersections, including the interchange at I-10 and SH 178.”

The project was developed to address these challenges and increase the reliability of travel time, accommodate future traffic demands and enhance connectivity in the regional transportation network.

Cat motor graders are doing a lot of the heavy lifting early in the State Highway 178 project.

Subcontractor TriState Electric oversees drilling along the route.

Long in the Works The planning/corridor study began in early 2017 and was completed in July 2018. The preliminary design and environmental process began in 2020. The final design started in 2022 and was completed in 2024.

This stretch of highway was constructed in the late 1990s.

Its last major reconstruction was completed in 2001. More than 50,000 vehicles are projected to use the road daily.

The project is constructing direct connectors at the I-10 interchange to provide drivers with direct access to I-10 east and west and to Artcraft Rd.; building U-turn bridges at the Artcraft Road /I-10 interchange, improving the frontage road between I10 and SH 20 (Doniphan Drive) by rebuilding sections of the road and extending the frontage roads in both directions; adding bridges at the intersections of Artcraft Road at Upper Valley Road and Westside Drive, along with new entrance and exit ramps; and adding improvements for a shared-use path to create a more accessible and safe experience.

Two consultants designed the transformative project.

TxDOT Project Manager Sheetal Patel worked closely with HNTB, which completed the schematics, and HDR, which completed the plans, specifications and estimates.

A drilling crew works on an intersection along Texas State Highway 178.

“The flexibility to refine the design was a key element in the successful project delivery,” Patel said. “Input from public hearings on the preliminary design resulted in many design refinements into final design to minimize impacts to adjacent properties. One specific pivot point occurred when a critical parcel along the right-of-way was determined to be potentially historic.

To avoid delays, the alignment was refined, and the frontage road was shifted away from the property.

“The design was also adjusted to accommodate potential wind blades up to 275 feet. in the future,” she added. “A custom template was created to model the transport of a 275-foot blade through each existing intersection and direct connector.

Constant communication and coordination with all stakeholders invested in the project area have been an important part of project development.”

Coordination Key Utility coordination was essential with nine active utility companies within the project corridor.

“Each required clear communication regarding scope and schedule of the project, as 243 potential conflicts were identified,” Patel said. “Each conflict was evaluated to determine if it could be avoided, minimized or mitigated. Utility companies met with TxDOT on a biweekly basis to coordinate the work on design, relocations and permitting. These meetings played a key role in resolving the number of conflicts. TxDOT also partnered with the city’s water company to include their relocations and improvements in the design plans.”

The lifespan of the new infrastructure is 20 years for flexible pavement, 30 years for concrete pavement and 70 years for bridges.

Steel I-girders will be used for bridge structures. Corridor bridge columns and retaining walls were designed with a unique aesthetic and coordinated color scheme.

The traffic control plan phasing was specifically designed to allow construction to start in areas with minimal right-ofway acquisition to reduce the risk of delays.

“Construction ingress and egresses have been identified in the construction plans,” Patel said. “Traffic control phasing provides large work zones for constructability and accommodates the movement of supplies, equipment and works in, out and within the work zones.”

Five Phases The project is being constructed in five phases, some of which may run concurrently.

focusing on intelligent transportation systems (ITS) illumination, drainage, retaining walls, pavement and a shared-use path on the Eastbound Frontage Road. From there, the crews will move onto the Westbound Frontage Road.

Phase 0 has crews constructing temporary pavement along the Artcraft Road median and installing ITS systems. Phase 1 will focus on ramps, frontage roads and a shared-use path at Westside Drive and Upper Valley Road.

Phase 2 will concentrate on main lanes, bridges, retaining walls, intersections and Uturns at Westside Drive and Upper Valley Road. Phase 3 deals with direct-connector work within the existing I-10 right-of-way, and Phase 4 covers ramps, direct-connectors and median work at the new right-of-way.

Sundt will begin by detouring eastbound traffic to the center median to gain access to construct the new ramps and intersections.

Crews will then install drainage and retaining walls along the eastbound ramps. New ponds will be excavated and sloped.

Embankment material will be imported, and final grading will occur.

“Challenges will be the limited work zone for placing final pavement and paving portions of the intersections at Westside Drive and Upper Valley,” said Sundt Construction Project Manager Joe Hernandez.

“Constructing all phases of the project while having minimal impact to the traveling public [is another, as are] constructing direct connectors over I-10 and South Desert, and utility installation through existing business complexes.”

Most of the work will be conducted during the day, with occasional daytime lane closures. Night operations will be needed for bridge work.

“Utilities will have to be installed through business driveways and existing utilities conflict with proposed work,” said Hernandez.

Main lane sections and direct connectors will have concrete lanes, while ramps at Westside Drive and Upper Valley and the UTurn bridge tie-in with South Desert have asphalt lanes.

“Work at Westside Drive and Upper Valley will start the project,” Hernandez said. “Shortly thereafter, construction at the Artcraft U-turn bridges over I-10 will begin in the third quarter of this year, and direct connector construction will begin in the late fall/early winter.”

Traffic along I-10 will need to be shifted to the exterior medians to allow for construction of the median bents improving the frontage

road between I-10 and State Highway 20 (Doniphan Drive) by rebuilding sections of the road and extending the frontage roads in both directions.

Adding bridges at the intersections of Artcraft Road at Upper Valley Road and Westside Drive, along with new entrance and exit ramps, will transform those busy intersections. Mechanically stabilized earth walls will be constructed at the bridge abutments with interior bents at the intersection.

Ramps at the intersection will be constructed in multiple phases.

Varied Equipment For the ongoing temporary lane building, operators are using motor graders, including Cat 150 models, which also are in action for the site prep operations for the new main lanes.

Dozers, excavators and loaders are doing their part inside enclosed areas protected by K-rail barriers.

Crews employ telehandlers at various sites to help install vertical poles where signs and ITS systems are placed on horizontal poles attached to them. Tri-State Electric teams are using truck-mounted drill rigs to drill holes for the electrical infrastructure required for the ITS systems. Poles are transported to the sites on specialized vehicles.

Sundt’s project management team includes Project Manager Joe Hernandez, Project Superintendent Vicente Garner, Project Engineer Sergio Trabulsi and Field Engineers Joshua del Toro, Nallely Leyva, Joaquin Leos and Jose Gonzalez.

The TxDOT team consists of Project Manager Christian Wong, Construction Inspector Benito Trevino, along with construction engineering and inspection support from JMT. “Sundt is looking forward to continuing that process and delivering a safe and successful project to the El Paso area,” Hernandez said. “Sundt crews have been working in the El Paso area for many years.”

Subcontractors include Hardy Hole Drilling, Tri-State Electric, Allied Paving, FC Traffic Control and Hawk Construction.

Excavation operations are expected to generate 65,000 cu. yds. and the removal of base and asphalt another 107,183 sq. yds.

New material will include 306,000 cu. yds. of embankment.

Sundt said it has mechanics onsite 24/7 to handle daily wear and tear issues and ensure that routine maintenance schedules are met.  CEG (All photos courtesy of the Texas Department of Transportation.)
