JJID performs many bridge and road projects every year for the Delaware
Department of Transportation and the Maryland State Highway Administration.
While many of these projects are based on traditional construction
materials, means and methods, other projects have become much more
efficient with the creative use of materials combined to derive
effective results.
Composite products – high-strength, durable and light-weight
plastics are being used for bridge decks, parapet walls, foundation
piles and marine fenders and are being used in concert with conventional
materials in road and building construction.
Working closely with the University of Delaware research laboratory,
JJID constructed the composite box beam bridge to replace the existing
structure over Muddy Run Creek in Newark, Delaware. This project
received the American Society of Civil Engineers, Delaware Section,
Project of the Year Award, and was recognized
as the 1998 Outstanding Bridge Project by the Delaware Department
of Transportation.
Aggressive management skills, creative concepts and the use of cutting-edge
technologies allow JJID to work on projects in the public/private
sector that require unique solutions. The JJID team relies on management
and field expertise to perform a variety of construction services
for emergency projects with tight time lines completed under difficult
and challenging conditions.
Examples of these projects include:
- DelDOT SR 896 from Route 40 to Interstate 95 – extensive
earth-moving and concrete paving.
- DelDOT Route 141 in New Castle County, Delaware from Newport to
Prices Corner – a major concrete paving job completed within
stringent completion-date specifications. Recognized as the 1998
Outstanding Highway Project by the Delaware Department of Transportation.
- DelDOT Route 141 in New Castle County, Delaware over I-95 –
Removal and replacement of the concrete bridge decks and parapets.
Also, concrete pier rehabilitation and structural steel repairs
including bridge expansion dams. All of the work was performed under
live traffic conditions. Many activities were restricted to night
time operations to avoid peak traffic.
- DelDOT Route 6 over Duck Creek, Woodland Beach Delaware –
Major bridge repairs including resurfacing of the bridge deck with
micro-silica modified concrete, installation of elastomeric expansion
joints and repairs to the substructure including the jacketing of
existing steel pilings. The Delaware Contractors Association and
the State of Delaware awarded the 2005 Construction Excellence Award
to JJID for our work on this project.
- MDSHA Route 272 and I-95 interchange in North East, Maryland –
involved pile driving, major earth moving and rock blasting, together
with new ramps and re-construction of a structure spanning I-95.
All work was accomplished while allowing the flow of traffic to
pass.
- MDSHA Route 40 in Elkton, Maryland – Extensive widening
and traffic pattern adjustments to accommodate the newly constructed
Wal-Mart Supercenter.
- MDSHA Route 13 in Pocomoke City, Maryland – Construction
of temporary cross-overs to divert traffic to the southbound bridge
in conjunction with the complete removal and replacement of the
northbound bridge deck and parapets without and hindrance to train
traffic below.
