USACE Pine Creek Lake Dam Remediation
Pine Creek Lake, McCurtain County, Oklahoma

The purpose of the Dam Remediation and Outlet work project is to control seepage and internal erosion of the earthen portion of the dam. The project consists of a vertical concrete cutoff wall, chimney filter, void filler piles, downstream filter modification and steel liner within the principal spillway. AEI is under contract to provide construction materials field and laboratory testing and inspection in support of the project.

I-Move KY I-265, I-64 & I-71 Design Build
Louisville, Jefferson, Kentucky

AEI was the lead design firm for a four-year, $180 million design-build construction project including improvements to I-265, I-64 and I-71 through a heavily traveled corridor in Jefferson and Oldham counties, KY. The overall project includes over 28 miles of roadway re-construction and widening, eight bridge widenings, five new bridges, 5.7 miles of noise barrier walls, and nine RCBC extensions. The objective of the project was to improve safety, relieve congestion, lessen construction impacts and provide lower-cost solution while improving the roads and bridges with available funds. The project will be completed in 2023, three years earlier than estimated with the traditional design-bid-build approach.

I-69 Ohio River Crossing Triple Roundabout
Henderson, Henderson County, Kentucky

AEI was on the team for preliminary design, final design, right-of-way activities, and utility engineering to deliver section one of the preferred alternative for the I-69 Ohio River Crossing from the south side of Evansville, IN across the Ohio River southeast of Henderson, KY. AEI’s role included design of a Tight Diamond Triple Roundabout. We created a 3D model and rendering of the proposed concept utilizing Bentley’s OpenRoads and LumenRT for use in a virtual reality (VR) model to communicate the operations and impacts of the proposed roundabout in a manner the general public, stakeholders, and adjacent property owners could comprehend.

William H. Natcher Parkway / I-65 & KY 622 Interchanges
Bowling Green, Warren County, Kentucky

Mainline alternatives were studied that would utilize the existing parkway bridges over I-65 or alternatives that would move the location of the interchange and provide new bridges. Maintenance of traffic was a primary concern for all alternates. The alternate for relocating the interchange required traffic to be maintained on the existing trumpet interchange, therefore, the existing ramps and bridges had to be incorporated into the maintenance of traffic plan. Of particular importance were the existing bridge piers that required additional merge and diverge analysis, as well as, weaving analysis to ensure proper traffic flow throughout construction. Phase II roadway and structural design also had to accommodate the widening of I-65 through the project area.

Logan Aluminum Expansion
Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky

Logan Aluminum, Inc. (LAI) had plans to expand several production lines at its Logan County, Kentucky, facility and the work had to be completed under strict time schedules while the facility was still in operation. AEI provided surveying, geotechnical, electrical resistivity imaging (ERI) and testing, and inspection support on a variety of interrelated projects including the Hot Mill Building Expansion, the Cold Mill 4 East Expansion, and the SL4 Expansion. AEI also provided civil solutions for a gravel parking lot complete with improved drainage and settling basin to capture area runoff for water quality protection.
