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
