NOTABLE PROJECTS
- Water treatment plant, well field and elevated storage
Trimble, TN: This project replaced a more than 60-year-old treatment plant and water tank with a new 0.75 million gallon per day treatment plant, a 200,000 gallon storage tank and 1.5 mgd well field.
- Dyer County Community Development Park Entrance Road
Dyersburg and Dyer County, TN: This project involved the design of a mile-long roadway system to feed the park from two different directions. It included two-lane, four-lane and four-lane divided sections.
- Solid Waste Landfill
Jackson and Madison County, TN: Approximately 110 acres of Class I and 75 acres of Class III/IV landfill. This state-of-the-art design has a life expectancy well into the next century.
- West Apron and Taxiway Expansions
McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport: This multi-phase project expanded the main aircraft parking apron by 7 acres and included connecting taxiways, storm drainage and lighting.
- Storm Drainage Improvements
McKellar-Sipes Regional Airport: This multi-year project began with a complete field study of the existing drainage system to identify both physical and capacity problems throughout the entire airport property. It then led to the design and construction of more than two miles of storm drainage piping along with innovative use of miniature detention basins to alleviate frequent flooding of both air-side and land-side facilities.
- Pleasant Plains Road Extended
Jackson, TN: This is a "greenfield" roadway to serve as a connector between high-growth residential areas of the city and the bypass/interstate. It is a four-lane curb and gutter roadway with a raised median throughout.
