Glendale Lake Culverts Replacement (SR 1021 And 1023) Design/Build

Client: Gordon L. DeLozier, Inc. & PennDOT District 9-0

Year Completed: 2011

Project Cost: $900,000

As part of PennDOT District 9-0’s design-build initiative, Gwin, Dobson & Foreman teamed with construction contractor Gordon L. DeLozier, Inc., Hollidaysburg, PA for replacement of culverts on SR1021 and SR1023 near Glendale Lake.

The existing culverts consisted of substandard corrugated metal pipe on SR1021 and a substandard stone masonry arch culvert on SR1023. Both culverts are located on unnamed tributaries to Glendale Lake. GD&F designed replacement structures that complied with all state and local requirements.

GD&F designed a 7′-0″ x 6′-6″ precast reinforced concrete box culvert for SR1021 and a 9′-0″ x 6′-0″ precast reinforced concrete box culvert for SR1023. Precast reinforced concrete end sections and fish baffles were also used on both culverts.

The project maintained both the existing vertical and horizontal alignments. Temporary shoring was designed by GD&F to utilize half lane construction on SR1021. A detour was designed and utilized for the construction of SR1023.

GD&F did all final design engineering work including Type, Size and Location Report; General Permit application; Foundation and Subsurface Investigation Report; Right-of-Way Plans; Plans; Specifications and Estimate.

All design and construction work was done under the auspices of PennDOT 9-0, Hollidaysburg, PA and coordinated with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, AC Miller (precast supplier) and Gordon L. DeLozier, Inc.
