Key Challenges
The project was taken on with the understanding that the site soils would need to be cut, worked and placed at the right pace and the right time of year in order to eliminate additional import and additional cost to the owner
Supply chain issues greatly affected the ability to procure jobsite materials, most crucially pipe. CCC worked with the GC, design team and the Owner to find acceptable alternates and to adjust normal install sequences as needed to keep the project moving
The main storm sewer outfall for the project was installed on Amtrak’s property and less than 100′ from the active Amtrak train tracks. This required careful daily coordination with Amtrak personnel to achieve the install safely and without disruption to Amtrak operations
