Preliminary Engineering• Don’t underestimate importance of early construction

reviews• How will the work areas be accessed?• Does Contractor have room to perform work?• Are additional impacts likely?

• Has dewatering been considered?• Is project constructible without dewatering?• Do the construction limits encompass all Work?

• Culvert projects commonly have additional impacts with Contractor EDA

• Project was planned assuming dewatering could be performed with a sump…• No temporary fill impacts planned• Dewatering with this method was unsuccessful

• Project was planned with no waterway fills in this area• Not enough room to perform work• Access only from one side of the stream

• Contractor had no feasible way to perform work with construction limits and permit limits set in planning
