Garden State Precast project #: 19-47561

Project Name: (ACUA) ENVIRONMENTAL PARK PH I MSE BERM

Location: Egg Harbor, NJ

Project start date:  May 2019

Project end date:  March 2020

Synopsys of Development:

Design, fabrication and deployment of a special drainage channel. The channel is located on top of an MSE containment berm with the Atlantic County Landfill.

Technical challenges and project constraints: 

This project had the following constraints:

• Channel geometry with curves and changes in elevation
• Location on top of MSE berm
• Provisions for future work

Design, fabrication, and testing activities:

• Purchase of new formwork
• Development of lifting and rigging plan
• Thin wall construction to maintain legal shipment load characteristics
• Plan and Hardware for rolling product 180 degrees after production

Design

• Traffic Loading
• Joint Design
• Layout to match proposed location
• Design of radius curve sections to avoid large number of unique pieces

Fabrication

• All units were poured inverted and required 180 rolling after production
• Curved pieces required special tapers to allow for proper demolding
• Purchase of curved formwork.
