Central Arizona Project Awards Two Roads to DBA

26 Dec 2017/in , , , /by

Following on the footsteps of our original roadway construction and drainage project for the CAP in 2014, DBA was once again contracted by the Central Arizona Project to complete construction of two access roads to their communication towers.  Both roads provide vehicular access to CAP’s microwave communication towers that control the water distribution in the canal.

This year, our portion of the Helmet Peak job began where we left off with Phase I in 2014.  Our scope of work included roadway and drainage channel excavation through hard rock and the placement of 4″ PCCP (concrete paving) for a total 3,200 SF.  The second project was for Pan Quemado Peak near Marana, Arizona which required extensive rock hammering, placement of aggregate base, and PCCP (concrete paving) up the access road from the bottom to the top for a total of 7,400 SF.

Repairs Complete at Texas Ranger Spring Training Site

05 Oct 2017/in , , , /by

The City of Surprise contracted with DBA to complete the replacement of concrete pavers throughout the concourse area at their Spring Training Stadium for the Texas Rangers. The original brick pavers were heaving in several locations and creating trip hazards. After Spring Training was over, DBA began working on removing the existing pavers, compacting the affected sections and replacing the pavers with decorative, stamped concrete pads that are doweled into the rest of the concrete flatwork. The stamped sections provide a “cobblestone” look and feel, resembling the concourses typical in historic baseball stadiums across the country.

State Route 79 Box Culvert Extensions Nearly Complete

21 Jul 2017/in , , , /by

The project required the extension of existing box culverts at eight separate locations along State Route 79 between Florence and Oracle Junction (mile posts 122 to 124). The existing structures had suffered serious damage from recent flooding which included major deterioration of substructures and wing walls. The project was completed in phases, working one side of the highway at a time and rolling traffic control devices from one site to the next. This was done to maintain traffic on the highway during construction without interruption. The project was awarded under a design-bid-build contract with the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Community Investment Project Provides Real Value

21 Jun 2017/in , , /by

Recently, DBA Construction, together with the City of Coolidge, the Coolidge Youth Coalition, and Cenpatico Integrated Care celebrated their community investment project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony near Coolidge High School.  Added to DBA’s scope of work for the reconstruction of Main Street and Vah Ki Inn Road, DBA was tasked with constructing new sidewalk, ADA ramps and driveway crossings in front of the City’s Pool.  The added scope was funded by a grant from Cenpatico Integrated Care which was requested by the Coolidge Youth Coalition.  The newly constructed concrete sidewalk and ramps replaced an area at the corner of Northern Avenue and 9th Street near the high school that was previously a dirt path.  The community’s Youth Coalition saw a need to address the issue for the safety of the City’s youth.  The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by DBA staff (Matt Woolwine, Briselda Guerrero, Kevin Trail, and Jeanne Sapon), members of the Youth Coalition, Cenpatico, the City’s Mayor, City Councilmembers, and the Fire Chief.

P-83 is Peoria’s Entertainment District and a major focal point for the City. Transforming the corridor into a “Gateway” for the City along 83rd Avenue, DBA was contracted to complete construction of aesthetic treatments to the bridge over Skunk Creek at the south end of the project. Scope of work includes removal and replacement of bridge end treatments, barriers, guardrail, curb and gutter, and pedestrian railings to help identify the bridge with the rest of the aesthetic treatments along the corridor.  New sidewalks were also constructed, a new raised median with landscaping and lighted, blue glass-filled gabions to continue the iconic “look”.  The Skunk Creek Bridge portion of the P-83 Improvements was part of Phase II in a 3-phase enhancement project.
