HWC is responsible for the complete inspection, documentation, load rating, and reporting of White County’s 166 bridges.
Of the County’s 166 bridges, one is fracture critical, eight require underwater inspections, 11 are load posted bridges, and nine require a 12-month inspection cycle.
HWC partners with SJCA to complete the underwater inspections.
HWC completed inspection, documentation, load rating, and reporting of Delaware County’s 193 bridges from 2006 through 2014.
Of the County’s 193 bridges, seven bridges required element level inspection, six bridges required fracture critical inspection, and six bridges required underwater inspection. In addition, 30 bridges were in a condition that required a load posting. Through coordination with INDOT and the County, HWC reduced the number of bridges requiring underwater inspections by 13 and eliminated five special detail inspections, saving thousands of dollars.
HWC provided engineering and survey services for Zionsville, Indiana to complete the development of a stormwater planning study for the Irongate Storm Sewer system and contributing drainage watershed. The study area was generally the area west of Ford Road, south of Oak Street, east of Lexington Drive, and north of the adjacent subdivision located south of the Irongate Subdivision.
The project included collecting GIS data which was then provided to the town, allowing them to update their own GIS system with more detailed information. Additionally, research into easements, property ownership, and sewer ownership was completed.
Through analysis of the existing system, HWC Engineering recommended two phases of proposed improvements that address the drainage issues. The study was completed in 2015 and construction of the first phase of improvements began in 2020.
HWC provided survey, design, bidding, construction engineer, and inspection services for the six projects identified in the Batesville Stormwater Planning Study.
The six projects include:
The projects included approximately 4,000 linear feet of storm sewer installation, along with a culvert replacement, ditch grading, and hydrodynamic separator.
The projects were completed at a construction cost of $1.3 million with construction funded through an OCRA grant.
HWC worked with the City of Lafayette to complete the Service Area 21 – Sewer & Water Utility Master Plan project. Service Area 21 refers to a 4,000-acre area outside the corporate limits of the City of Lafayette on the northeast side of the City at the I-65 and SR 25 interchange.
A crossing of Wildcat Creek and I-65 and connecting the water service to Lafayette’s dual water pressure zone system was evaluated as part of this study.
The area is largely agricultural but included several housing developments and the potential for commercial development, which created a need for water and wastewater utilities to service the area. The final plan included the phased extension of water and sewer services to the area. Future phases can extend these utilities throughout the entire service area and consist of a new well field for supplemental water supply due to the impacts of the proposed Hoosier Heartland corridor development. The construction cost for both phases developed in the plan was $5.8 million. HWC was responsible for design and construction management of Phase 1, which was completed in 2020.
