Summary
Kaskaskia Engineering Group LLC (KEG) was contracted by Fehr-Graham to perform a QA/QC peer review of the Phase II construction plans and documents for the final submittal for Windsor Road at I-57 Bridge Approach project in Champaign, Illinois. The Windsor Road project included 1,800 feet of bridge approach pavement rehabilitation, on both sides of the Windsor Road bridge over Interstate 57.
Project
KEG’s QA/QC review included a review of the construction plans, drainage design, pay items, quantities, and special provisions for conformance with current Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Bureau of Local Roads and Streets (BLRS) design policies as well as plan consistency, constructability, plan continuity, and overall plan appearance. The construction plans included roadway and rehabilitation improvements as well as lighting improvements and structural improvements.
KEG’s QA/QC peer review provided several beneficial suggestions that not only improved the appearance of the plans but also improved the design of the project which resulted in project construction cost savings. Due to the IDOT funding and letting schedule, the QA/QC review had an aggressive schedule that KEG met successfully for the client.
