HIGHWAY 75 BELLEVUE TO PLATTSMOUTH – PLATTE RIVER AND NORTH
We performed a $38M expansion project along Highway 75 from the Platte River Bridge north to the Fairview Road interchange. Weather and tight access were major factors which we overcame with a dedicated workforce, advanced planning, and close work with NDOT, allowing the project to be opened for traffic five months ahead of schedule. Time […]
FONTENELLE PARK LAGOON IMPROVEMENTS
The Fontenelle Park project is one of a series of projects in the Minne Lusa Basin intended to remove and/or control flows in the combined sewer system and reduce the frequency, magnitude, and duration of overflows. These improvements expand the size and stormwater storage capacity of the lagoon and separate portions of the upstream basins […]
EPPLEY AIRFIELD – RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY PROJECTS
Since 1995, we have completed significant runway and taxiway pavement projects at Eppley Airfield. These projects have been technically complicated with stringent specifications and potential hazards due to adjacent aircraft operations. Using highly trained personnel and specialized equipment, we have replaced more than 1,250,000 square yards of full-depth pavement with various base course types, large […]
EASTERN HILLS DRIVE
Eastern Hills Drive connects US-6 and IA-92. The project consisted of thousands of feet of concrete pipe and two large box culverts for storm drainage. The 8-inch-thick concrete roadway and bike trail was the keynote of the project and includes the city’s first roundabout. The project successfully transferred heavy rural and suburban traffic off State […]
WP-6 & WP-7 REGIONAL DETENTION BASINS
We built two new reservoirs in the Papillion Creek Watershed to enhance flood protection. Reservoir WP-6 is 34 acres and WP-7 is 13 acres of water. Both are stocked for fishing and allow kayaking, and trails were added for walking and bicycling. We moved 280,000 cubic yards of dirt to create the earthen dams with […]
OPPD FOUNDATION REPAIRS
Substantial flooding in 2011 to the Missouri River engulfed the support structure for one of Omaha Public Power District’s high voltage transmission lines. With extensive foundation scour and wash-out, we backfilled the scour holes with approximately 3,000 tons of sand and constructed a sheet pile cofferdam around the entire foundation. The cofferdam was reinforced with […]
4TH CORSO VIADUCT
The 4th Corso viaduct was closed in 2015 due to deterioration and structural deficiencies, ultimately requiring a full replacement. We removed the existing bridge and replaced it with a new 570-foot four span NU girder bridge. An additional 600 feet of paving and sidewalk at each end was also completed. Weather was a constant challenge, […]
168TH STREET, DODGE TO MAPLE
We expanded 168th Street from two to four lanes between W Dodge Road and W Maple Road. Median and left turn lanes were added, along with improvements to the intersection at Blondo Street. We worked with the City of Omaha to accelerate construction. We adjusted phasing to close Blondo for only 90 days to lessen […]
CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
We built a pedestrian bridge across US Highway 75 to connect the community and nearby Gifford Park neighborhood to Creighton University; the bridge is critical to Creighton University Medical Center’s redevelopment into apartments. The bridge consisted of two 240-foot arched truss spans and one 77-foot truss span with an elevator/stair tower. The team used prefabricated […]
TRI-FAITH COMMONS PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
The Tri-Faith Initiative in Omaha, Neb., is an award-winning, pioneering project in the field of interfaith relations. We built Abraham’s Circle Bridge to connect the Tri-Faith Center, a Christian Church, a Jewish Synagogue, and a Muslim Mosque. Construction of this quarter-mile pedestrian bridge involved removing an existing bike path, earthwork, and site preparation, forming and […]
