Download or read book Minimizing Utility Issues During Construction written by César Augusto Quiroga and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Roadways intersect utility facilities above and below ground. Facilities such as water, sewer, natural gas, fiber optic, and electric lines may be impacted by highway improvement projects and often require relocation. Issues and conflicts between highway features and utility facilities can arise and impede highway construction projects, causing construction delays, economic impacts, and safety concerns. NCHRP Research Report 1110: Minimizing Utility Issues During Construction: A Guide, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, provides practitioners with a guide to help mitigate utility conflicts using strategies such as improving pre-letting utility investigations, inspection procedures, and change order documentation." --Publisher's website

Download or read book Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data written by and published by Amer Society of Civil Engineers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CI/ASCE Standard 38-02 presents a credible system for classifying the quality of utility location information that is placed in design plans. The Standard addresses issues such as: how utility information can be obtained, what technologies are available to obtain that information; how that information can be conveyed to the information users; who should be responsible for typical collection and depiction tasks; what factors determine which utility quality level attribute to assign to data; and what the relative costs and benefits of the various quality levels are. Used as a reference or as part of a specification, the Standard will assist engineers, project and utility owners, and constructors in developing strategies to reduce risk by improving the reliability of information on existing subsurface utilities in a defined manner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As right-of-way acquisition and utilities coordination grow more complex, transportation agencies in the United States are under pressure to streamline the process of providing cleared right-of-way for highway projects. The Federal Highway Administration, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of England, Germany, Norway and the Netherlands to review best practices in right-of-way and utilities services. In the countries visited, the U.S. delegation observed a philosophy of sensitivity to the needs of property owners affected by highway projects, as well as innovative techniques for compensating owners. Highway agencies emphasize coordination with utilities to minimize delays. Right-of-way professionals undergo formal education and ongoing training to develop expertise in their field. The scanning team's recommendations for U.S. application include encouraging property owner input by involving owners in the design phase and using an in-depth interview process, creating a voluntary land consolidation pilot program, developing education programs for right-of-way professionals, and promoting greater coordination and communication between State transportation departments and utilities.

Download or read book Implementation of Subsurface Utility Engineering for Highway Design and Construction written by Roy Sturgill and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While it is recognized to be in the public interest to permit the installation of utility infrastructure in roadway rights-of-way, the practice has contributed to utility-related issues being one of the leading causes of delays for transportation projects. Subsurface utility engineering (SUE) is an approach state departments of transportation (DOTs) have implemented to locate utilities and assist their project-development teams with avoiding these issues. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Synthesis 583: Implementation of Subsurface Utility Engineering for Highway Design and Construction documents state DOT use and practices related to SUE and specifically examines how and when SUE is implemented during the project-design and delivery processes.

Download or read book Managing Longitudinal Utility Installations on Controlled Access Highway Right of way written by Edgar Kraus and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is in the public interest for utility facilities to be accommodated on highway right-of-way (ROW) when such use and occupancy does not adversely affect highway or traffic safety, or otherwise impair the highway or its aesthetic quality, and does not conflict with the provisions of Federal, State or local laws or regulations. Consequently, there are many utilities on the ROW and space to accommodate them is limited. It is therefore more important than ever for State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to manage utilities on the ROW, especially controlled access ROW, which recently has been opened to longitudinal installations in many states. Management options may include providing corridors in which utilities must be placed and acquiring sufficient ROW for these utility corridors. A utility corridor is a specified zone within the ROW where multiple utilities are required to be located by agency policy or practice. The objective of this study is to determine best practices for managing utilities on controlled access highway ROW" -- Project information.
Download or read book Longitudinal Occupancy of Controlled Access Right of way by Utilities written by Ronald L. Williams (P.E.) and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1996 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators, design engineers, maintenance engineers and maintenance staff, traffic engineers, and safety officials. It will also provide useful information to the utilities and telecommunications industries. Information is presented on the state transportation agencies' policies, practices, and experience associated with occupancy of the rights-of-way on controlled (or limited) access highways. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents a brief history of accommodation of utilities in the right-of-way, including the policies developed over time by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and describes why there are issues associated with joint use of the highway right-of-way. A 1993/1994 survey of the state transportation agencies taken for this synthesis yielded 100% return, indicating the high interest in the subject. Issues included in the survey were policies and experiences regarding user and worker safety; controls placed on utilities; exceptions to right-of-way policies; and operational, legal, and equity issues.
