Heavy rainfall and substantial snowmelt from a storm event combined with insufficient drainage systems to wash out 2,800 LF of a vital roadway crossing a mountain. The steep and winding road serves approximately 1,400 vehicles per day and connects VT 100 and VT 12. The Town of Rochester applied for and received FHWA-ER funding to…
The 40-year-old wastewater treatment facility, originally designed for a 20-year service life, was past due for a total treatment process change and facility upgrade. The project objectives included: utilize a state-of-the-art treatment process, design capacity for nitrogen removal, consider operational efficiencies and long-term operating costs, address issues with the location in a floodplain, and develop…
To efficiently manage the design of highway surfacing and appurtenant systems, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) engages consultants to supplement in-house engineering, environmental, and surveying services. Since 1998, D&K has provided design for state and US highways, including interstates, urban Class 1 sections of US or state highways, major and minor arterials, and rural…
To develop a safer and dedicated cyclist and pedestrian-focused path from downtown to Gallison Hill Road, the City of Montpelier chose to develop a paved, largely off-street pathway, which shared a substantial portion of its alignment with a local railroad. Weaving through a largely urban area, the project creates an active transportation and recreation right…
To improve access to transit and housing, the One Taylor Street project included the design of a new four-story transit center. Sited on a highly constrained, urban brownfield site, the building supports public bus operations, a visitor’s center, traveler services, bike lockers, and apartments. D&K’s design included three bus parking bays, a 23-car parking area,…
