HWC is providing design services for State Street in Veedersburg, Indiana. This project is comprised of milling and resurfacing the street, installation of new sidewalks and ADA-compliant curb ramps, new street and road culverts, closing two open ditches on the east end with new storm sewers, and re-grading where necessary to improve drainage, particularly on the south side of the street.
The existing twin metal pipe structure under SR 47 in Boone County was heavily deteriorated and regularly blocked with debris. HWC designed a replacement structure with a single-span box large enough to convey the required flows and debris to reduce maintenance efforts. A practical design approach avoided unnecessary waterway impacts that would have triggered mitigation and cost. The project design included completion of hydraulics, a Level 3 environmental document, and right-of-way engineering. Utility impacts and associated right-of-way needs were minimized by vertically adjusting the overhead utility to provide adequate working room under it for OSHA requirements. This minimized both the utility’s costs and INDOT’s cost. The construction cost was $325,000.
