Justin M. Coyle, P.E., SVP and Manager of our Structural Engineering Department in Easton, PA, alongside his adept team members JoAnna Ast, E.I.T., and Michael Traczuk, P.E.
The project featured a cross-disciplinary collaboration among CEC’s finest. Peter O’Halloran, P.E., PTOE, Head of our Traffic and Transportation Department, along with his skilled team;, brought their specialized expertise to the forefront. Additionally, Christopher Peterson, P.E., a municipal engineer and Vincent Capaldi from our Municipal Department, together with Gary Zanolini, VP, Head of our Survey Department, played critical roles in ensuring the project’s success.
The core of this project was the replacement of an outdated double-barrel stone masonry culvert with a with a modern precast concrete structure, designed to endure and optimize water flow through a tributary to Gulph Creek. By removing the need for center supports, the new 20-foot clear span culvert not only boosts the hydraulic efficiency but also minimizes the ecological footprint on the surrounding parkland and stream.
