PIK-23-3.50
WD, on a task order from a general engineering services contract with ODOT, District 9, provided engineering design services for this project. The project involved the rehabilitation of the existing six span continuous rolled steel beam structure over Norfolk Southern Railroad and Wakefield Mound Road near the West Entrance Road to the Department of Energy Facility on U.S. 23. WD developed the shortest possible proposed profile while ensuring there was adequate clearance above the beams for the design deck thickness. Traffic was detoured during construction. The structural steel and foundations were analyzed to ensure they could support standard AASHTO and ODOT loadings. The bridge received a new composite concrete deck, new semi-integral abutments on existing piling, new approach slabs, replacement of pier rocker/bolster bearings with elastomeric bearings, capping the pier seats, structural steel painting and strengthening the existing steel by adding proposed moment plates over the piers. In addition, fatigue retrofits were installed at the existing beam splices.
Total Construction Cost: $4,494,050 (This bridge work was part of PID No. 21802)

Grant's Boyhood Home
As a test project, the Ohio Historic Preservation Office contracted with WD to provide for the high definition scanning of the boyhood home of Ulysses S. Grant in Georgetown, Ohio.
