Bridge & Road
Since the 1970's, Daniels Construction has been working in, on, and around bridges and roadways. Our primary clientele includes local municipalities, the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT), and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Our primary focus is on projects having a value of $1.5 million or less which tends to correlate into road projects up to 1 mile in length and bridge/culvert projects having spans up to 200 feet.
Mont Vernon Road Bridge, Amherst, NH
A temporary water diversion pipe was used to bypass stream flow, the existing culverts were removed, the new precast concrete footings and rigid frame were installed, the structure was backfilled, roadway gravels were placed along with granite curbing, the road was paved, and new guardrail was installed.
Route 110 Temporary Bridge, Chelsea, VT
A July storm caused severe flooding and damage throughout Vermont. Daniels Construction assisted residents, towns, and VTrans with recovery efforts. At this site, we installed a 100-foot-long Mabey bridge. In completing this project, Daniels Construction imported 4,000 cubic yards of fill to construct the new roadway, precast concrete foundations on site and later set them into position, assembled the bridge and launched it across the river, placed over 500 tons of pavement, installed 900 feet of guardrail - we had the project completed in two weeks.
Bement Covered Bridge, Bradford, NH
For this award-winning project, we completed the rehabilitation of the Bement Covered Bridge which carries Center Road over the West Branch Warner River in Bradford, NH. This project included full replacement of the lower chord and deck, installation of new floor beams, replacing the deteriorated bridge truss members, siding replacement, new timber approach railing supported by cast-in-place concrete moment slabs, complete replacement of the north abutment with a new dry laid stone abutment and approach roadway reconstruction.
Bridges
Our list of bridge projects includes steel truss, steel beam, plate girder, timber truss (covered bridge), timber beam, glulam beam, precast arch, precast box beam, precast next beam, precast rigid frame, precast voided slab, concrete arch, concrete T-beam, concrete slab, and bottomless multi-plate.
Roadways
We do new roadway construction, full-depth reconstruction, parking lots, streetscape projects, concrete & asphalt sidewalks, granite & concrete curbing, bicycle/recreational paths, water and sewer lines (see utility page), retaining walls, stone fill/riprap, drainage projects, and ledge blasting/removal.
Culverts
We also have expertise in culvert installations. We have installed corrugated metal pipe (CMP), multi-plate structures, HDPE, reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), precast concrete boxes, and cast-in-place concrete box culverts.
Design-Build
We are involved in the design process from the beginning which allows us to explore different construction methods and materials to make the project more efficient and cost-effective, as well as being able to streamline the schedule by overlapping the design and construction phases, by reducing conflicts between the designer and contractor, and by reducing the approval cycle for submittals.
Value Engineering
When it comes to Value Engineering, a request must be made to the design engineer to deviate from their plans in an attempt to provide the owner with cost savings for a product of similar or higher quality. Because of this process, not all of our Value Engineering proposals are accepted, but when they are our customers are very pleased with our efforts.
