Togus VAMC Paving

This project entailed providing all labor, parts and equipment to resurface and repave a 1660 ft. long section of roadway on the VA Maine Healthcare System Campus. During the course of the pavement grinding it was discovered that pavement depths were not as indicated in the original SOW, specifications were changed and pavement was removed to the sub-base and regraded to address drainage issues. The integrity of the drainage gates at the entrance area was also found to be insufficient and additional paving was performed to address the issue. All work was performed per Maine DOT standard and scheduled to accommodate traffic without interference of daily campus activity.
