Open-ended Geotechnical Engineering Services for Roadway and Bridge ProjectOpen-ended Geotechnical Engineering Services for Roadway and Bridge ProjectWilliams Geotechnical Group, a business unit of Gannett Fleming, provides services for numerous roadway and bridge construction and widening projects for District 7 of the Florida Department of Transportation. Working throughout the district within the scope of this continuing contract, our firm performs services including geotechnical engineering design, subsurface exploration, and field and laboratory testing.

For example, our firm provided services for the Tampa Bay Sunguide Freeway Management System, which established traffic management systems throughout Tampa’s entire interstate system, including the Downtown Interchange of I-4 and I-275 (bridge, overpass, and roadway).

Many of the projects involve working within and around environmentally sensitive areas that require monitoring. Our firm also coordinates with local regulatory agencies and establishes effective processes and plans designed to protect environmental areas and resources.

Project coordination between the client, contractor, and subcontractors is essential to create seamless and safe operations. Daily, weekly, and monthly communication and coordination meetings are implemented, as are project completion review meetings. These review meetings are designed to identify operational deficiencies and opportunities for improvement; however, there have not been any notable occurrences of either identified during the performance of this contract.
