Major
highway improvements by AI-Maryland are
underway to connect U.S. Route 1 and I-95 in eastern
part of the state. The current phase focuses on
the widening and reconstruction of Ammandale Road,
a
critical 1-1/2 mile project due for completion
in the fall
of 2006. The work includes nearly every facet
of highway construction, with a 42” pipe
crossing, noise walls, signals, signage and the
installation of 25,000 lineal feetof water and
sewer line up to 16-inch diameter. |

| The
longer days of summer don’t mean much to the AI-Maryland
crew on the Catonsville, MD, water line project, because
most of their waking and working hours are at night.
This work, which calls for the installation of 10,000
lineal feet of 42” pipe, requires that two lanes
of traffic on Route 40 be closed while the work is being
performed. To maintain the flow of traffic on this busy
road during the day, those lanes may only be closed
at night. The pipeline part of this project is to be
done by November, 2005, with paving to follow. Working
at night has not impacted the schedule, and timely delivery
is assured. |

30,000 lineal feet of curb and gutter and 43,000
tons of asphalt paving are part of the project,
as well. All work is performed to Maryland state
specification for the owner, Prince Georges County,
MD. |

Griffith’s expanding presence in Virginia
takes the
company to Culpepper County for the first time
to perform the site work for a 70-acre residential
subdivision. A good, prior working relationship
with the owner, Elm Street Dev-elopment of McLean,
VA, was invaluable as solutions to an unforeseen
moisture content issue with the on-site soil were
investigated. Ultimately, 60,000 cubic yards of
overburden from a nearby quarry was mixed with
the material at the site to produce the stable
soil conditions necessary to continue the site
and utilities work, and to provide a viable site
for further construction of the 93-lot subdivision. |
