ICE served as the point of contact for construction for this port terminal project that consisted of raising and paving 73 acres of the Columbus Street Terminal. The base elevation of the terminal was elevated to alleviate flooding using approximately 180,000 tons of asphalt. In order to accommodate the new asphalt, which in some places was over two feet in thickness, all existing surface utility features were elevated. Items raised included drainage inlets, manhole and manhole covers, water valve covers, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, building AC units, truck scales, Radiation Portal Monitors (RPMs), and one 8×14 building. 1,640 LF of existing railroad track was elevated, including one turnout. The project also included the installation of approximately 13,760 LF of new railroad track including 10 turnouts to allow the terminal to handle wheeled cargo for the roll-on/roll-off ships that started using the terminal in February of 2011.
The scope of work included construction management, creating and updating the project CPM schedule and coordinating the work of all subcontractors. ICE was also responsible for developing and tracking submittals, monthly pay requests, changes orders, and RFIs.
