Porter County Meridian Road Structure Replacement
Porter County, IN
Meridian Road Structure Replacement
HWC designed a single-span reinforced concrete slab bridge to replace the existing structure. The new bridge will use 100% GFRP reinforcing, combined with specific concrete admixtures instead of typical steel rebar, to target a 100-year design life with little maintenance. The roadway design included a passing blister for a neighborhood entrance. HWC also completed right-of-way acquisition and utility coordination for a dozen utility relocations. The new bridge is scheduled for construction in 2026. Utility relocations are currently being completed.

This project also included a new concrete headwall, wingwalls, removal of a secondary pipe culvert to create an open ditch, as well as reconstructing the asphalt roadway, guardrail removal and installation, and landscaping. Additional scour protection measures were taken by adding riprap at both the inlet and outlet of the new structure.
The project was completed in August 2025 with an approximate construction cost of $960,000.

Water System Improvements
HWC completed a water utility planning study for the City of Attica. The recommendations included in the preliminary engineering report resulting from the study included improvements to the Town’s water supply, treatment, distribution, and storage system. The study was utilized to secure funding for the project from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (IOCRA) and the Indiana Finance Authority’s (IFA) State Revolving Loan Fund (SRF). The project included new buildings and interior piping for the two water supply wells, electrical improvements for the wells including an emergency backup generator, new chemical disinfection equipment, replacement of undersized water mains along with valves and hydrants in the distribution system, and replacement of an existing 500,000-gallon water reservoir with a new 500,000-gallon bolted steel glass-lined ground storage tank. HWC provided all design and construction phase services for the $3 million project, which was completed in 2025.
