A transportation project for the Missouri Department of Transportation provided a case study on how construction costs can be significantly reduced without comprising the quality and safety of the roadway. The story appeared in Roads&Bridges magazine. It’s quite a piece of authorship.
On time, on budget and a minimum number of headaches—in a nutshell, those are the marks of a successful transportation project.
That’s the conventional wisdom, anyway, but in tough economic times “good enough” isn’t good enough. Transportation agencies should be asking more from their consultants, and consultants should be stepping up to demonstrate new ways to execute projects. Times may be tough, but opportunities abound to do more for less and reach goals previously unimagined.
