Submitted by Kiewit Western Co. Using trenchless technology, this rehab of an existing water main added a steel-can slip lining to give more than 50 years of additional life to the deteriorating pipe, with minimal impact to surrounding communities. The pipeline is approximately 14 mi long and supplies 220 million gallons a day of potable water to Phoenix and Mesa. To date, 31,000 ft has been successfully re-lined. The team was able to avoid existing utilities by using slide rail shoring to keep the necessary excavation sizes to a minimum and allow flexibility to shift a portal location when necessary.
Submitted by Gannett Fleming West, Inc. At two lanes, this $3.3-million, 8-mi roadway improvement serves residents and visitors of the Taos area. Prior to being paved, the roadway was inundated with melting snows and monsoon rains that could strand travelers. The improved road was engineered to use the established grade as well as to salvage roadbed gravels as part of the pavement structure. Because it was designed to fit the existing right of way, the team saved the county approximately $500,000. This link between rural communities and Taos will improve local quality of life, and the roadway will increase tourist
Submitted by DLR Group This contemporary campus for 1,000 students unites the Kingman area’s unique Route 66 history with the need for modern technology and collaborative learning. Two buildings – an administration and classroom wing on the west side and an arts, physical education and food service building on the east side – surround a central student commons courtyard. The exterior of the media center takes cues from classic automobile design using slick curves, two-tone paint and shiny-metal accents. Signage also reflects Route 66 style; hallways come to life as a canvas for super-graphics that inspire pride in the students.
