Scope Of Work
Description:
This project was designed to improve traffic flow by extending Glenn Drive to Cedar Green Road and eliminating the exit from Route 28 to Cedar Green Road. It has further converted Route 28 to a limited-access highway and has provided a four-lane connection between Davis Drive and Cedar Green Road. Construction was administered by VDOT under the Route 28 PPTA contract and is being maintained by VDOT post-completion. Road design meets VDOT criteria and right-of-way was acquired for the full four-lane typical section. Glenn Drive was extended north to Cedar Green Road and a new four-lane road was also extended east to Davis Drive. The east-west portion of old Cedar Green Road was widened to four lanes similar to Glenn Drive and is now called Belfort Park Drive. The project also includes sidewalks along the north side of Cedar Green, from Shaw Road to Davis Drive. As development along Glenn Drive and the south side of Cedar Green Road progresses, additional pedestrian facilities will be provided by adjacent developers. Minor improvements to Shaw Road have also occurred, including a new southbound auxiliary lane with connection to Cedar Green to the west, and extending the northbound turn lane on Shaw Road approximately 125 feet to the intersection with Cedar Green.
Specialized Engineering Scope of Services:
Geotechnical Engineering Services consisted of providing onsite consulting when needed for the barrier walls, retaining walls, culverts and bridge foundations.
Field Quality Assurance Services consisted of monitoring and documenting contractor activities to ensure the project was constructed per VDOT regulations, project documents, and the approved Quality Control Program.
Field Quality Control Testing Services consisted of compaction testing for utility backfill, structural fill, stone sub-base and asphalt paving as well as field testing (slump, air content, temperature and cylinders) of cast-in-place concrete.
Laboratory Testing & Analysis consisted of verification of material quality in Specialized Engineering’s AASHTO-accredited laboratories as part of the project’s Quality Control Program. Materials tested included soils and aggregates, hot mix asphalt and cast-in-place concrete.
