Because SCDOT’s US 601 bridge replacement project was directly adjacent to the Congaree National Park, an environmentally sensitive approach to construction was imperative. Our construction engineers rose to the task by inspecting foundations, concrete, earthwork, drainage, asphalt and providing resident engineering and environmental support.
This $34 million, environmentally sensitive project covered 4.2 miles and consisted of the replacement of four bridges, totaling 4,400 linear feet, highway widening and relocation of 650,000 cubic yards of earthwork on US Route 601. The environmental support component of our service required continuous monitoring of the contractor for compliance with the US Army Corps of Engineers and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control permits.
