Bus Pull-Out Gets Upgrades

22 Apr 2020/in , , /by

Under a design-bid-build contract with the City of Tempe, and amid the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, DBA Construction crews are moving along with the ADA improvements to the new Bus Pull-Out in front of the Tempe Library.

Located on the corner of Rural and Southern, the project required demolition of the existing bus bay including the sawcut and removal of AC paving and new construction of concrete curb, driveway, scuppers and valley gutter. Additionally, the original asphalt bus bay was replaced with PCCP. Underground utilities were relocated and new landscaping and irrigation lines were installed, as well as new site lighting.

Verrado Intersection Upgrades

08 Apr 2020/in , , /by

Located in the west valley in Buckeye, Arizona, DBA is finishing up the construction upgrades to the intersection of Verrado Way and Thomas Road. DMB (the master planned community’s developer) and our client, realized that the community had grown beyond a 4-way stop at the intersection and decided to add traffic signals.

Our scope of work is to upgrade the intersection with new concrete aprons and new ADA ramps on all four corners. The alignment of the new ramps created an alignment difference of the painted crosswalks. Paint obliteration is taking place today (April 8) with new striping planned for April 9. The mast arms and signal poles were a long-lead item (matching the communities style) and will be installed later this Spring.

Still Going Strong

Transportation is paramount to keeping our economy going and major truck routes, like Interstate 40, play a large role in getting much needed supplies and food to those in need. Keeping our highways and bridges safe during these trying times is essential and DBA crews are doing their part.

Working on the I-40 Bridges over the Little Colorado River (eastbound and westbound) near Winslow, required repair of spalls and cracks, retrofitting piers with CFRP (carbon-fiber wrapping), replacing bearing pads, replacing deck joint assemblies and applying crack sealant on deck surfaces. 

The project started in late February, we have completed the first phase of replacing the deck joints.

Drainage Improvements for West Valley Under Construction

15 Jan 2020/in , , /by

Working along Johnson Road (west of Sun Valley Parkway north of Interstate 10), DBA crews are excavating along the roadway, installing elliptical pipe sections, and building connections to pipe with cast-in-place concrete inlet/outlet structures at two intersections to convey storm water. The two intersections (Portland and Bellview Streets) have become inundated during heavy storms, making ingress/egress to the neighborhood hazardous and a nuisance for local residents.

Once complete, the new structures and pipe will connect to an existing drainage ditch running along Johnson Road on the east side. The project is being completed for Maricopa County Department of Transportation.
