Developed as part of an effort to revitalize downtown Winchester, Va., the $7.5-million pedestrian mall improvement project involved renewing all existing underground public utilities and infrastructure while updating the streetscape to support commercial and residential developments on the mall.
For the utility replacement component of the project, the team had to work within a tight 50-ft-wide corridor, which was congested with underground utilities varying in size from 6-in. to 30-in. conduits.
