Construction Inspection for Arbury Hills North (Mokena) Water Main Replacement 

Construction Inspection for Resurfacing of Arerial Streets in the City of Chicago

ASE provided survey support in the form of area calculations of the arterial streets, which were called out by the plan set to be resurfaced.  ASE also provided construction inspection services of the material that was placed to ensure the placement met all specifications as identified in the plan set.  ASE inspectors also performed quantity takeoffs to verify contractor reported quantities.  ASE inspectors also performed QA/QC services to ensure the overall integrity of the construction process.

Phase III Survey Support, US 30 at CN Railroad (IL/IN State Line)

Phase III engineering was required for construction inspection services for the improvement of US 30 (Lincoln Highway) at CN Railroad (IL/IN State Line).  Work included completing construction of a new grade separation of US 30 and EJ&E/CN Railroad with a new bridge spanning over the tracks in Lynwood.  The project also included roadway reconstruction, a new frontage road system, and improvements to the Sauk Trail intersection, pavement markings, drainage improvement, and all incidental and collateral work necessary to complete the improvement.

ASE provided verification of horizontal and vertical control, verification of the existing right-of-way (ROW) and verification of existing conditions/topographic features.  ASE also performed a verification survey after topsoil stripping and post-excavation.  A topographic survey of the final work (including miscellaneous frontage road, driveway, and sidewalks) was also conducted.  ASE provided Phase III survey support along with a 10% check of layout, 25% check of on-the-bridge and MSE walls.  Deliverables includes a CADD file of surveyed data, including DTM, copies of field books, and ASCII file of surveyed points.

Bridge Deck and Approach Pavement Replacement, Illinois Route 2, Winnebago County, Fuller Creek

This was a reconstruction project to create a four-lane facility with an at-grade intersection on IL Route 2 from Elmwood Road to Latham Road north of Rockford.  ASE inspected the placement of the concrete on the project.  In the course of performing those duties, ASE staff created daily diary entries, wrote weekly reports, and other tasks necessary for the effective placement of the concrete.

ASE performed inspection and documentation of pay quantities, material testing and inspection (on site), DCP’s, construction staking, and layout as required or needed.  ASE completed required documentation and construction of the work in accordance with the plans and specifications.  ASE staff also assisted in final measurements including final cross sections for earth work quantities.
