Delran Township, Burlington County, NJ – CES’ professionals provided surveying, site planning, and other engineering services to a number of school projects, including the demolition of an existing elementary school, and construction of the Delran Intermediate School. As part of an overall district improvement plan, other projects included the regrading and resurfacing of the Delran High School football field and track, regrading and pavement overlay of a bus maintenance area, property acquisition and subdivision plans of a 7-acre property for athletic field use, and various water, wastewater, and stormwater improvements to each school.

Gloucester Township, Camden County – As part of a multi-year renovation and reconstruction project for Camden County College’s Blackwood, NJ, campus, an addition was needed to expand the previously named Taft Hall and repurpose the building.

Along with a recent alliance with Rutgers University, these projects will encourage and expand the student base, allow better access to full four year Bachelor’s degree programs, and enhance the ability of the many two-year offerings and workforce development programs available on the campus.

City of Vineland, Cumberland, NJ – The City owned and operated recreation impoundment, located along Lincoln Avenue as it crosses the Cedar Branch of the Menantico Creek, is an earthen embankment approximately 600-feet long, containing a two-lane County highway, and a reinforced concrete spillway structure at its western abutment. The present dam does not meet the spillway capacity and freeboard requirements of the Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) Dam Safety & Flood Control Section (DSFC), and therefore required a hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, failure analysis, spillway design storm determination, and a potential rehabilitation to safely pass the spillway design storm.

The City of Vineland hired CES in 2012 to perform the required hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, failure analysis, spillway design storm determination, and to develop an Emergency Action Plan and Operation & Maintenance Manual for the dam. All calculations, EAP and O&M documents have been reviewed and approved by NJDEP with recommendations for rehabilitation with overtopping protection (armoring). CES also performed an emergency inspection of the existing low-level outlet culvert to evaluate observed leaks and the deteriorated condition of the conduit. CES prepared construction plans, specifications, and permitting for the City to permanently abandon-in-place the existing low-level-outlet culvert.

CES provided project management and inspection for a resurfacing project for the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA). The project included repair of a significant portion of the roadway, reconstruction of ramps, and acceleration and deceleration lanes, along with complex detour and traffic control issues.

The four-mile long mill and overlay project over limited access highway included site and asphalt plant inspection, full time construction inspection, appropriate office and field support, and client liaison. Paving was done with multiple inspectors when needed and much of the construction was completed at night for proper traffic flow considerations.

Other aspects of the project included inspection of traffic control, new lane striping, raised pavement markers (RPM’s), inspection of materials at the Arawak Asphalt Plant, and overseeing plant personnel while performing lab testing.

City of Camden, Camden County, NJ – CES was chosen to provide engineering, assist with construction management, and provide construction inspection services for the renovation of 2nd Street between Market and Cooper in Camden. This connects and assimilates with the nearby train platform at the Rutgers Riverline stop.

This project involved renovation or replacement of the underground utilities, replacement of curbing, removing and replacing all of the sidewalk, installing new colonial street lamps, trees and shrubbery, and cutting and repaving the street.

Pitman Borough, Gloucester County, NJ – Under competitive bid, CES was awarded Construction Management and Inspection Services for this resurfacing and safety improvement project. The project involved reconstruction of many corner curb locations to install handicapped ramps, replace driveways and stormwater inlets, and underground utility reliance. These services were followed by a full width mill and overlay of the pavement surface and restriping of the centerlines and lanes.

CES professionals carefully oversaw field measurements, reviewed plans, shop drawings and construction methods, oversaw the contractors efforts, coordinated reports and correspondence, and prepared as-built drawings for the project.

Borough of Pine Hill, Camden County, NJ – CES completed surveying, design, and bid documents for a one-mile portion of Turnersville Road (CR 688) in the Borough of Pine Hill. The distressed roadway surface was in poor condition, and some portions of the roadway flooded during high rain events due to inconsistent profile slopes, a lack of collection points, and undersized existing storm water pipes. Pedestrian facilities were also of concern due to the high density residential development in the area, as well as a middle school and high school within the project limits.

The project included pavement reconstruction, milling and overlay, concrete curb, sidewalk, striping, and extensive storm sewer upgrades. The design plans also included specific constructions details for 30 curb ramps, including dimensions, slopes, and detectable warning surfaces, to ensure compliance with ADA/PROWAG requirements.
