Designed plans and obtained PennDOT highway occupancy permits for numerous developments within Eastern Pennsylvania to provide for driveways, intersection improvements and the location of utilities within state rights-of-way. Each plan set considered site access, horizontal and vertical geometry, utility location, stormwater conveyance, and maintenance and protection of traffic during construction. |
