Project Complications & Achievements

SCE presented a construction methodology for pavement placement which allowed for the pavement thickness to be increased thus reducing the amount of time onsite and minimizing plant movement. Shamrock Civil were able to recycle lose and granular material onsite to minimize dumping fees, reduce the amount of material removed from the existing road and maximizing remnant pavement material left onsite.
