IH 45 South Expansion
IH 45 South Expansion Galveston County, Texas The expansion of IH 45 South in Galveston County was designed to widen the interstate and improve mobility in a region that has seen continuous growth in recent years. DCCM provided utility relocation and inspection (including water line, communication cable, and gas line), grading, concrete pavement, asphalt-stabilized base, cement- and lime-treated base/subgrade, bridge structures, storm sewer, and detentions. Construction of the widening of a freeway facility included grading, concrete pavement, asphalt-stabilized base, cement-treated base, lime-treated subgrade, asphalt concrete pavement, bridge structures, storm sewers, detention ponds, retaining walls, signing, pavement markings, traffic signals, continuous lighting, and a traffic management system. DCCM was selected to perform utility coordination, subsurface utility engineering, and utility inspection for the entire project. DCCM provided utility coordination and relocation for Frontier, AT&T, Comcast, CenterPoint Energy gas, Texas-New Mexico Power, and Phonoscope. DCCM performed subsurface utility engineering to identify the existing 39-inch encased water line (City of League City) that hindered the construction of the drilled shaft and stone columns along abutment No. 1 on the SH 96 bridge widening. TxDOT also entrusted DCCM with reviewing and approving permit applications for the entire project’s proposed relocation.
