PROJECT DESCRIPTION

  • As a sub-consultant to Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI), AEA provided structural design services for the sign structures. AEA is prepared general plan and elevation drawings for three (3) cantilever, eight (8) overhead span sign structures and one (1) temporary overhead span sign structure for the MPT during stage construction, and installation of VMS and Flashing Bacons on sign structures. Performed foundations design loads calculations for the sign structures using STAAD-Pro models for the Geotechnical analysis. Performed structure design calculations and foundations design include the drilled shafts design for the sign structures.  AEA is also responsible for developing structural construction plans, take-out quantities, prepare cost estimate and supplementary specifications for the sign structures. AEA coordinating the proposed design work with GPI and preparing all documents in accordance with NJTA design and procedures manuals. Also, provided construction support services include reviewed shop drawings, prepared responses to RFI and consultation during the stage construction.
