Project Overview

Asphalt mill and overlay on multiple collector and residential streets were done, overlaying parking lots at historic Gale Center and South Jordan City Cemetery roads. Traffic control was designed and implemented on all roadways. Subcontractors provided lowering/raising of utility collars and roadway striping for each roadway throughout the project.

What Makes the Project Unique

South Jordan Mill and Overlay presented a good challenge which kept us busy at what we do best for over five months. At the pre-construction meeting, South Jordan City wanted to add several extra residential streets as well as the cemetery roads to the original plan. This nearly doubled the workload of the project and gave it a lot of variety. Work was performed on over 30 roads throughout the city. One to two days in advance of the work, notifications were sent out to each resident explaining the purpose and scope of the work that would take place on their roadway. This was done to avoid street parking and was a courtesy that allowed residents to plan for limited access on the day of paving. Some of the highlights of this project:

• Helping facilitate a change in the line striping on Beckstead Lane, so it now allows parking on the south end.
• Placing new asphalt on Skye Drive also refreshed the bike lane, which is well-used by many in the community.
• Taking care around the edges to create a nice walking and parking area while resurfacing the lot of the historic Gale Center will now allow visitors to enjoy and celebrate the culture and heritage of South Jordan for years to come.

Project Quality

The coordination and hard work involving many different people contributed to the success of this project. The paving field operations were overseen by our paving superintendent, Mark Fotou, who has over 45 years of experience in the industry. We were able to maintain continuous delivery of the asphalt mix by 10-wheeler dump trucks to our paving spread in order to eliminate unnecessary cold joints. Quality control testing services for the project were provided by an independent testing laboratory and showed all density tests exceeded the minimum standards set by South Jordan City.
