MBTA: Gloucester Drawbridge Replacement Project
​
Gloucester, MA

Project Description:

​

The MBTA required the replacement of the historic 1911 bascule drawbridge. ​The new bridge will carry two tracks on independent bascule spans that will allow safer, faster, and more reliable commuter rail service to pass over the bridge daily.

​

Role:

As part of the PM/CM team for this project, RND is responsible for the construction inspection of the installation of the sheeting wall for permit compliance. This part of the project is critical because the installation is going to be done below the high waterline of the Annisquam River (tidal) and numerous federal and state permits needed to be filed to allow for the construction work. RND will monitor the installation to ensure the project specifications and criteria are met and that all work is in compliance with the permits for the project. RND will be on-site to monitor the installation of the sheet pile wall and prepare daily logs of activities during the installation. RND will work closely with the contractor, designers, and MBTA personnel to ensure construction is done safely and in accordance with the environmental permits.
