PROJECT EXPERIENCE

INSPECTION, TESTING, AND ANALYSIS OF MATERIALS AND PAVEMENTS NCDOT STATEWIDE

DRMP has cultivated a strong relationship with NCDOT since the firm expanded into North Carolina in 2001. DRMP’s experienced teams have had years of hands-on success with managing and completing various day-to-day operations and functions of the Materials and Test unit that enable the completion and certification of construction projects on time and on budget. This contract involves inspection, sampling, testing, and analysis of pavements, liquid asphalts, asphalt mixes, soils, aggregate, concrete and steel materials, and products. DRMP Construction Services staff also provides support through the development of training materials, conducting training sessions, auditing producer facilities, analysis of data, development, and documentation of procedures or guides.

TOYOTA MEGASITE

NCDOT DIVISION EIGHT

Through an NCDOT Division 8 On-Call Contract, DRMP’s Construction Services staff is providing site inspection responsibilities on a $600 million project. The project consists of site grading over 1800-acre for Toyota Battery Manufacturing. The project is estimated to have over 18 million yards of earthwork, including 6 million yards of rock excavation. The project includes three new interchanges on US 421 (Future I-685) adjacent to the site; water and sewer lines are to be installed; and the relocation of a 525 KW Transmission line around the site. A new 100 KW line is being constructed to the site for an onsite substation.

The project currently has over 300 large pieces of equipment, including Cat 395 excavators, Cat 777 off road trucks, Komatsu 1250 excavator, Cat 631 pans, and Cat D10 Dozers. Project coordination included working with stakeholders from the City of Greensboro, Duke Energy, AT&T, Randolph Telephone, Randolph County, and many other utility companies. All work is to be completed in two years.

STATESVILLE I-40/I-77 DESIGN BUILD

DRMP provided Construction Services for the second phase of the $260.3 million I-40/I-77 Interchange Improvements Project in Statesville, N.C. The CEI team was responsible for monitoring daily operations to ensure compliance is completed in accordance with project plans and specifications.

The widening project will improve traffic congestion and enhance safety for the interchange, which has an antiquated configuration. The design-build project will continue the interstate widening on I-77 from a 4-lane to an 8-lane facility that will include 14 new structures.

Along with compliance monitoring, the team provided concrete paving, asphalt paving, soilcement stabilization, erosion control inspection, surveying grade verification, and materials sampling and testing.

• Project highlights included:

– Construction of a diverging diamond interchange (DDI)

– 10 bridge sites

– 806, 500-CY of unclassified excavation

– 32,020-LF of storm drainage

– 447 drainage structures

– 188,900 tons of asphalt

– 89,785-SY of concrete paving

DRMP’s Construction experts served the City of Orlando to provide construction services for this $9.3 million design-build FDOT LAP project. The project involved the construction of a 296-foot-long multiuse pedestrian bridge with ramp bridges and trail sections over SR 50 and the Central Florida Rail Corridor (CFRC) railroad tracks. The bridge crosses a heavily traveled corridor of vehicles, pedestrians, and trains.

This project also involved ongoing coordination with multiple agencies, including Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), CFRC, SunRail, FDOT, SGL Constructors, and nearby residential facilities. Heavy coordination was also required due to three adjacent construction projects, including the I-4 Ultimate project, the SR 50 widening project, and a CFRC signal relocation project. The project included the construction of multiple MSE walls, utility relocation, installation of CCTV cameras, aesthetic underdeck, and pylon lighting. DRMP staff provided all administration responsibilities, including field inspection, material sampling, testing, and contract compliance.

DRMP’s team worked closely with the City of Orlando’s project manager to clear obstacles and ensure the contractor was not unnecessarily delayed. Conducting pre-work meetings, making proactive decisions in consideration of the contractor’s schedule, and taking upcoming operations into consideration were paramount to the project’s operational success.

The new pedestrian bridge enhances the traveling experience for commuters on foot, bike, scooter, and more as they navigate the heavily traveled area of downtown Orlando.

Environmental considerations were made in the construction of retaining walls to limit impacting an existing wetland area.

Additionally, the project provided a right-turn lane at the intersection of Highway 331 and the new roadway (CR 280B), as well as the addition of a left-turn lane and pavement widening along CR 280A at the intersection with the new CR 280 road. A new sidewalk was constructed at Highway 331 and the new CR 280B intersection along with drainage improvements.
