Achievements

Shamrock Civil planned and designed the erosion and sediment controls and temporary drainage systems so that in an event the project site was not inundated with storm water.
Due to contamination issues, Shamrock Civil proposed a pavement design that reduced the amount of cut by bringing the pavement level higher. This resulted in a smaller amount of contaminated material that needed to be treated.
