Construction Inspection Services, Roundabout

Hyde Park, Vermont

Under D&K’s Construction Inspection Services retainer contract with VTrans, DuBois & King provided construction inspection services for a new $1.5 million roundabout at the junctions of Routes 100 and 15. The pre-existing intersection was the location of numerous accidents and inadequate for the periodic high traffic volumes. The project was designed by VTrans. Working under VTrans’ Resident Engineer, D&K’s inspector provided full-time inspection services for the eight-month construction duration. Inspector performed fieldwork, observed and documented construction activities, kept detailed measurements and tracking of installed items and quantities, prepared daily reports, maintained a photographic record of the progress of construction, and participated in regularly scheduled construction status meetings. Inspector was instrumental in coordination of traffic control, which was a critical component of this project. The new roundabout includes new sub base and base materials, drainage features, reinforced earth embankments, new granite curbing, bituminous concrete pavement, a textured and colored reinforced concrete truck apron, sign replacements and relocations, pavement markings, and landscaping.
