East Vandergrift Emergency Slide - Westmoreland County - This project was the emergency stabilization of the steep S.R. 4099 roadway/sidewalk. The slope and sidewalk had been a recurring maintenance issue for many years. SPK along with EI prepared an emergency construction plan utilizing a 650’ long staggered dowel system developed by EI. The system is comprised of a drilled concrete-filled casing capped with a cast-in-place concrete cap which doubled as the new sidewalk. Due to the narrow roadway, traffic was detoured throughout the duration of construction. Also, due to the emergency nature of the project, the contractor was immediately brought on board to collaborate on means and methods, material procurement, access, etc. The Advanced Notice to Proceed was issued March 13, 2020 and the Final PS&E was developed April, 29, 2020. The project is completed and was opened back up to traffic on October 15th, 2020.
