Project Title: McKenzie Highway Bridge Replacement
Location: Blue River,
Oregon
Client: C.P. Construction, Inc. |
|
CZE recently provided services as the independent Quality Control Manager for the replacement of two timber bridges on Highway 242, the old McKenzie Pass. The bridges are concrete construction with spread footings supporting precast panels and hot mix AC wear surfaces. Due to the historic location of these bridges, they incorporate custom form panels which leave a surface that is later stained to give the impression of native rock.
The firm was responsible for overseeing field quality control of substructure, superstructure, deck placement, and final acceptance quality documentation. In the course of its responsibilities for construction quality control, CZE interfaced with the Agency PM, as well as directing all QC testing. CZE oversaw day-to-day construction activities on the $800,000 project, and issued and approved NCRs in accordance with the approved Quality Plan and Procedures the firm developed for the project. CZE also coordinated and communicated with Agency PM inspectors, FHWA quality assurance specialists, as well as the contractor, and the U.S. Forest Service. |
Project Title: I-5/Elkhead Road - OR 126/Knowles Creek Design-Build Project
Location: Eugene,
Oregon
Client: T.Y. International |
|
This $42 Million design-build transportation project consists of replacement and repair work on seven highway bridge locations within Lane and Douglas Counties, Oregon. Three locations are on I-5 south of Cottage Grove and four locations west of Eugene on State Highway 126.

Primary project goals are to minimze impacts to traffic on I-5 and OR 126 during peak travel times, balancing earthwork between the work sites, minimal use of retaining structures, public involvement, environmental permitting and offering aesthetically designed structures that blended into the environment.
CZE’s responsibilities include development of the Design-Build Team’s Quality Control Plan and Program, design quality control management, construction quality control management, construction inspection and all quality documentation in compliance with Oregon DOT manuals and procedures, directing all QC testing and inspection of off-site precast concrete beam fabrication. . As a part of the firm’s work, CZE interfaces with the Agency PM, the General Contractor, several subcontractors, the design-build environmental team, and safety and traffic control personnel. |
