I-77 Design/Build
Mecklenburg County, NC
Mulkey, Inc. was the primary Construction
Engineering and Inspections firm on the I-77 Design/Build project, which involves
widening 8.9 miles of I-77. The scope of the project also includes five bridge
structures, a culvert extension, a soil nail wall, MSE walls and noise walls.
Mulkey is providing utility coordination, construction observation, construction
administration, construction stakeout, materials testing and sampling, constructability
reviews and quality assurance plan audits. The firm has committed 19 construction
inspectors to oversee this dynamic project and maintain its intense schedule.
Mulkey also developed a dedicated web site to keep all project stakeholders
informed about the progress of construction. This innovative use of technology
has enhanced communication among participating vendors, the North Carolina Department
of Transportation and other interested parties. The team won the Pride In Construction
Public & Media Relations/Education award from the American Road & Transportation
Builders Association for these efforts.
