Bridge #1147 Replacement
HWC was responsible for full-time inspection of the replacement of the Clay Street bridge #1147 in Lake County, Indiana.
The project included the demolition of the existing bridge and replacing it with a modern single span concrete box beam bridge. This project also included new concrete abutments, wingwalls, and approaches, as well as asphalt paving, guardrail installation, storm sewer, field drive entrances, and landscaping. An added emphasis was placed on scour protection for this project as the waterway beneath the bridge turns at a 90 degree angle. The project also utilized galvanized rebar in its bridge deck for increased life span of the structure.
The project was fully funded by Lake County. Project cost was approximately $562,000.00.

Pike Place
After several buildings came down along a main downtown corridor, the City of Crawfordsville decided to transform the gravel lot into a central gathering space. HWC teamed with KJG Architects to complete the design and construction documents. Components of the park include a stage, custom public restroom building, event lawn, custom brick pillars with metal farmers market gates, site furnishings, landscaping, and decorative site lighting. Now consistently programmed, the space has become a central hub for community activities.

Comprehensive Plan
With a number of projects and initiatives accomplished, the City of Franklin sought to capitalize on these “success stories” by updating its comprehensive plan. HWC partnered with SDG to facilitate this planning process which centered on goals for future development within the city and strengthening efforts at downtown revitalization. Major ideas identified during the plan included a renewed focus on neighborhood revitalization, an emphasis on improving aging infrastructure, continued reinvestment in downtown redevelopment, and encouraging a variety of housing options. The plan would ultimately lead to the development of the Interstate 65 gateway along the King Street corridor and a commitment to developing two new hotels near the Interstate 65 interchange.
