The West Virginia Great Barrel Company Project was comprised of site development, roadway design, along with both water and wastewater service extension. Greenbrier County was one of the main areas affected by the flood of 2016 causing major negative impacts to the community and halted economic growth. Projects like this will prove to strengthen the existing infrastructure and establish the groundwork for future economic development.

The site development portion involved grading and drainage plan preparation as well as building pad elevations, parking lot design and NPDES permit filing. Further, the roadway section involved furnishing all materials, labor, and equipment necessary for the construction of approximately 2,060 linear feet of roadway, including drainage, guardrail, signing and pavement markings.

The water portion of the project, referred to as the Harts Run Waterline Extension Project, extended water service to approximately 50 residential customers, the Greenbrier State Forest, a UPS Distribution Center and the WV Great Barrel Company Plant. The water is supplied by the nearby City of White Sulphur Springs Water System which makes supplying this area feasible and cost effective. Additionally, 1,500 LF of gravity sewer line was designed to extend service to the new plant.

Located in the Shenandoah National Park, Skyline Drive provides opportunities for picturesque scenery of the treasured Blue Ridge Mountains. Running along the crest of the mountains from Front Royal to Rockfish Gap in Virginia, the rehabilitation project included work on Skyline Drive from Mile Posts 5.63 to 28 and 65.20 to 97.10, along with intermittent overlooks and parking areas adjacent to Skyline Drive. Skyline Drive runs from north to south through the park and throughout the project limits pavement experienced cracking and severe pavement deterioration, in addition to the deterioration of wearing surface due to continued use over time on both Skyline Drive and the various overlooks.

As the lead designer and provider of quality control services for the MC3 led Design-Build Team, ELR worked closely with the Contractor, National Park Service (NPS) Denver Service Center (DSC), Shenandoah National Park Staff, along with their Construction Management Representative (CMR), to assess the deteriorated pavement in order to complete the final design and prepare the release for construction plans. ELR as the engineer of record was responsible for pavement design, pavement markings, work zone traffic control, and quality control inspections to successfully deliver the project.

The Project is part of VDOT’s $2.3B improvement program for the 330 mile I-81 Corridor and is located near Marion, Virginia. The purpose of the project is to improve safety and operations by extending the existing I-81 Exit 47
northbound on ramp approximately 3,900 feet from MM 48.1 to MM 48.8. The project improvements include mill and overlay existing lanes; extend existing ramp lane, shoulders, and ditches; install a rock fallout zone; grade slopes; and installation of signage.

To accomplish this, approximately 75,000 cyds of material were excavated with the use of explosives while staying within the existing right-of-way and
maintaining traffic in the heavily travel north-south interstate. A significant portion of the cut was in rock, while a smaller portion is in soil, with less-
weathered blocks suspended in a matrix of soil. Major risk on the project was presence of this site in karst topography with sinkholes. To mitigate the risk
rock catchment ditch was provided, and ELR engineering geologist and
engineers visited the site regularly to monitor the features exposed as the
pre-splitting continued. As the rock splitting continued, and slope was exposed, rockfall hazard analysis was revised and recommendations were made for talus
maintenance.


The design-build project was awarded to the Team in July 2021 with all
permitting, design approvals, and construction completed early in less than 12 months.

I-81 MM 48 NB Acceleration Lane Extension Design-Build Project

This is a Locally Administered Project (LAP) by Loudoun County to extend Northstar Boulevard as a 4-lane median divided minor arterial roadway, from John Mosby Highway (US Route 50) to Tall Cedars Parkway, in Loudoun County, Virginia. The roadway has 10-feet shared use paths on the both sides of the roadway and has additional turn lanes and traffic signals with pedestrian controls installed at US Route 50, Marrwood Drive and Tall Cedars Parkway. The project budget of $45.8M was funded by Loudoun County, NVTA, and VDOT.

As the lead designer for the Bridge, ELR supported the project by providing the County with Stage-II Final Design and ultimately Stage-III Construction engineering services for the Northstar Boulevard Bridge over South Fork Broad Run. This included structural design /detailing, scour analysis, developing final plans, specifications, special provisions, and a cost estimate. The bridge is a 150-feet long single span pre-stressed concrete bulb-T beam bridge at 45-degree skew on tall wall abutments, with long wing walls, on spread footing foundation.

Working closely with Loudoun County and VDOT as part of the Stage-III post-design efforts, the bridge foundation was redesigned because of the variable bedrock encountered at depths different from the estimated bedrock depth which was based on the original subsurface investigation. ELR also assisted the County with reviewing RFIs and shop drawings throughout the construction of the Bridge.

ELR was hired by US Developments to complete site planning for a 22.7 Ac site commercially zoned site in Union County, NC adjacent to the City of Waxhaw, NC. The area is a rapidly growing bedroom community outside Charlotte, NC and has very restrictive growth ordinances that made development challenging. Development of the site is constrained by has large elevations changes throughout the site, federally and locally protected waters and associated tree buffers through the heart of the site, limited sewer capacity for the site, and very restrictive development requirements for the conditionally zoned property that required special use permits for each activity.

ELR valued engineered several already designed features including redesign of a 30’ tall MSE wall, reducing the height and improving the grading around the wall to reduce cost and footprint of the wall, adjusting grading for more applicable uses of the property including cut and fill balance and reduction of rock excavation to improve the project.

Specific site designs included a commercial spine road through the site, development of four commercial lots along Providence Road which is the main entrance to the site, and a rear upscale townhome development including 75 units blended into the protected stream and buffers.

Under construction in the development is a Caliber Collision facility, a PEP Boys Tire Service Center, and a 100,000-sf climate control storage facility. Other developments that will start soon are the 75 townhome units and a medical office building. All infrastructure is being designed by ELR.

Providence Road Project

Staff now at ELR held key design roles for all roadway, hydraulics, structural, signing, pavement marking, and transportation management elements of the I-77 HOT Lanes P3 project. This was the first P3 design-build executed by NCDOT, providing the addition of managed lanes along a 26-mile corridor of I-77. Staff was responsible for design criteria, and final plans, and oversaw location & surveys, geotechnical investigation, right-of-way, and utilities. The project included 18 bridges and interaction with key developer staff, stakeholders, local municipalities, and private utility companies.

Following construction completion, ELR entered into a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with I77 Mobility Partners, to provide various design-related services, during their period of operating and maintaining this highway.

In 2021, ELR staff provided post-design services for reconstructing and rehabilitating 16 ramps and loops at Exit 16 Sunset Road, Exit 18 W.T. Harris Blvd., Exit 25 Sam Furr Rd., Exit 30 Griffith St., and Exit 33 Williamson Rd. The plans included roadway design, erosion control, transportation management, and pavement marking.

E.L. Robinson Engineering (ELR) was contracted by WVDOT – DOH in a modified design-build delivery procurement as the engineer of record for items that included pavement relief joints, the new interstate profile for I-70, 24 /7 monitor, and owners’ representative in support of the long wall panels mining passing under I-70. There is predicted subsidence of the roadway due to extraction of the coal seam by longwall mining operations approximately 800 feet below the Interstate roadway. The preparation, response, and mitigation efforts were necessary to keep the Interstate open to traffic without major interruption in the level of service. Project conditions that were anticipated were heavy traffic, significant roadway damage, urgent roadway maintenance and repair, and short project timelines. The health and safety of the public was premier in the planning and execution of this work.

Tunnel Ridge Mining (TRM) mining operation in the Pittsburgh (Longwall Panel Nos. 15 - 22) coal seam which is approximately seven feet thick and 800 feet below ground surface, under the Interstate 70. TRM, as owner of the mineral rights, the law allows the mining activity to subside the ground surface in order to extract the coal. The subsidence to the ground surface from longwall mining ranged from 4 to 5 feet to the roadway of Interstate 70.

ELR was contracted to provide operational, engineering, subsidence monitoring and inspection, and the administrative guidance services for this project. The longwall panels are three miles long and the width varies from 1,050 feet to 1,200. ELR designed the pavement relief joints and new interstate profile for each panel for both pre- and post-mining conditions. ELR’s role also included the oversight of maintenance of temporary facilities at the westbound Welcome Center. ELR’s design work included roadway, drainage, maintenance of traffic, signage, pavement marking, as well as the plans for repairs and reconstruction of I-70 monitoring at the Welcome Center site. The welcome center was affected by the mining subsidence.

ELR provided project operational, engineering, monitoring, inspection, and administration guidance for pre- and post-mining operations while restoring I-70 back to its 70-mph design speed after full subsidence has been realized. Traffic operations were maintained during the project. Mitigative measure utilized on this project were: installation of pavement relief joints, Welcome Center Building was taken offline for public use, deployment of portable restroom facilities was implemented, off-site emergency detour utilizing US Rte. 40, changeable message boarded were utilized. During the mining operation under the Interstate, ELR monitored the roadway 24 hours per day until the mining was completed. For that panel making sure that the roadway was safe for traffic and providing direction to the contractor in charge of maintenance.

E.L. Robinson completed construction plans for pavement rehabilitation and various structure rehabilitations on IR 270 on the northeast side of Columbus. This project was split in to two plan sets. Part 1 involved pavement rehabilitation on IR 270 just north of the IR 670 interchange. ELR performed an MOTAA and coordinated with MOTEC/PIAC to determine the impacts of closing I-270 and diverting traffic to the CD roads. Part 2 involved the widening of IR 270 to eliminate a left hand inside lane drop and inside merge with IR 670, and the Goshen Lane structure rehabilitation. A Feasibility Study was completed that evaluated three options to widen IR 270 and provide the required vertical clearance under Goshen Lane. The options analyzed the impacts of lowering IR 270, raising the Goshen Lane structure, and a combination of both. It was determined that the length of profile adjustment and additional pavement width along IR 270 outweighed the structure and approach pavement costs of raising Goshen Lane. Additionally, the multiphase maintenance of traffic (MOT) scheme required to replace the IR 270 pavement while maintaining all lanes of IR 270 increased the cost and complexity of the lowering of IR 270 options.

FRA-270-31.70/FRA-270-35.41

E.L. Robinson completed construction plans for intersection upgrades to the Worthington Road and Big Walnut Road intersection. As part of the project, an analysis of intersection for various alternatives was completed. This project is located in Genoa Township and includes two-lane roads that intersect at a four-way stop at an angle of 53°±. Worthington Road is classified as an urban collector, while Big Walnut Road is classified as an urban minor arterial, with both containing graded shoulders, road side ditches, and no pedestrian facilities. As part of the project, a Feasibility Study was completed that included development of intersection alternatives, cost estimates, determining right of way impacts, traffic studies, turn lane development, and determining environmental impacts. Alternatives considered were curbed and uncurbed signalized intersections and roundabouts. Roundabout alternatives were designed to accommodate future widening along the Big Walnut Road corridor. In addition, intersection alternatives were developed at the Big Walnut Road and Ketterington Lane/Satinwood Drive intersection which also included signals and roundabout concepts. The signalized intersection option at Worthington Road and Big Walnut Road was selected as the preferred alternative. Construction plans included a two-way left turn lane on Big Walnut Road from Worthington Road to Ketterington Lane/Satinwood Drive. Accommodations for a future multi-lane path along Big Walnut Road were also provided.

The Ridge Avenue Bridge just north of downtown Dayton is situated in the historic neighborhood of Riverdale, adjacent to Triangle Park. The existing structure was replaced with a signature style bridge that includes aesthetic treatments to many of the bridge elements, including nighttime lighting of the substructure and beam elements. A plaza area located at the east end of the project is supported by retaining walls, adjacent to the park property, and contains a World War I memorial that is very important to the local community.

The recently removed bridge was originally built in 1927 and carried nearly 5,000 vehicles a day to and from residential neighborhoods and the nearby Boonshoft Museum. This project replaced the original two-span steel girder bridge with a three span structure consisting of prestressed concrete I-beams on reinforced concrete wall type abutments and wall/column type piers. Two left-turn lanes were installed westbound Ridge Avenue onto Riverside Drive and lane from eastbound Ridge Avenue onto Riverside Drive. The new bridge transverse section provides 10’ wide sidewalks, which is an improvement over the current 6’ wide sidewalks on the existing structure providing additionally path space for pedestrians. Additionally, the existing bus stop located at the southeast corner of Ridge Avenue and Riverside Drive was improved. Located underneath the structure is a bike path in which thousands of pedestrians and bicyclists travel daily along the Stillwater Bikeway Trail. The Bikeway was improved under the bridge and is now wider, offering better sight distance for users and is less prone to flooding and the collection of debris.
