Location: CITY OF NOVI - 2022 CONCRETE ROAD PROGRAM Contractor: Mattioli Cement Company Supplier: Milford Redi-Mix Company Design Engineer: Spalding DeDecker Owner: City of Novi
Gen Mar Drive is an industrial road that included a CVS Pharmacy warehouse and two other businesses, which required the contractor to maintain 24-hour access to truck and employee traffic each day.
Before construction started on Gen Mar Drive, representatives from Mattioli Cement Company and Spalding DeDecker met on-site to determine the traffic patterns, met with delegates of each business to find out their specific needs, and discussed phasing for the road reconstruction. CVS drivers and security also met with the team to discuss the turning capabilities of the trucks as well as where to queue the trucks while the drivers check in with security staff upon arrival without disrupting the construction activities.
Mattioli adjusted their phasing limits to accommodate the three (3) businesses. Mattioli and Spalding DeDecker came up with a solution to maintain two-way traffic throughout all phases of construction by breaking the road into 3 lanes instead of 2. This added a fifth phase of pouring and resulted in an increase to the total project duration but accommodated the needs of the businesses while not compromising quality. While waiting on cure time for each phase of construction on Gen Mar Drive, Mattioli was able to work on one of the residential streets to keep the overall project moving forward.
