Bowman geologists were responsible for the implementation of a groundwater investigation relative to a proposed quarry deepening. The work consisted of drilling oversight and logging of approximately 1,000 LF of bedrock borings, installation of bedrock piezometers, stream gauging, photolineament analysis, aquifer testing, and geologic mapping.
Bowman evaluated visual impacts to Viewshed for Hooper Garnet Mine Expansion. A digital terrain model was used to create expansion footprint. Topographic mapping was used to predict visual impacts. Mitigation measures and reclamation planning were developed to reduce visual impacts to the community.
Bowman directed a $2M program to design and construct a series of liner systems in the Bushkill Stream which borders Hercules Cement’s Stockertown Quarry. Water from the stream historically leaked into the quarry through karstic features with required expensive dewatering efforts.
Bowman provided economic modeling, pit design, geologic modeling, logistics analysis, NPV analysis and mine plan sequencing.
Bowman was contracted to provide geologic exploration, geochemical modeling, pit design, tailings storage design and geotechnical services. Bowman also provided required reclamation planning, visual, sound and air quality studies in support of the mine expansion.
This project consists of a four-story, 178-unit, mixed-income apartment complex located in the Eckington area of Washington, DC on a site of approximately 1.6 acres. The historic convent building on the site was moved and is incorporated into the apartment building design, including approximately six rental units, and was built in accordance with historic preservation guidelines.
As part of the 2.5 million sq. ft. redevelopment project known as Arbor Row, located within the heart of the new Tyson Urban Center, Bowman provided full service engineering, environmental, surveying and construction administration services for the first two synthetic turf fields in Tysons, VA.
Bowman was contracted to provide engineering services for a proposed overpass to separate haul truck traffic on a ROM Haul Road and light vehicle traffic on a mine access road. The overpass allows efficient and safe mine site traffic circulation by eliminating a Haul Road and light vehicle traffic road intersection.
As part of Middleborough downtown improvement plan, the team completed traffic counts, assessed signal warrant criteria, developed design plans for intersection layout, pavement design and resurfacing, drainage and watermain replacement, and construction documents for the proposed intersection improvements at two locations.
As part of a multi-disciplinary team, the team led the transportation analysis and design for the intersection safety improvements project. The team developed solutions to address the size and complexity of the intersection, which was challenging for bicyclists and drivers, while pedestrians faced long delays waiting to safely cross.
