Mahaffie Street Extension
Owner: City of Olathe
Team Members: Pyramid Contractors Inc.
Project Cost: $5,274,854.00
Overview:
To allow for the continuing growth of the Garmin Headquarters in Olathe, Mahaffie Street was extended to provide a connection between Old-56 Highway and 151st Street. With I-35 initially providing a barrier, the completion of the I-35 Bridge Extension Project, allowed for the new roadway corridor to be completed. The Mahaffie Street Extension Project allowed for multiple access points to I-35, both to the North and to the South, helping to ease the congestion 151st Street and the complicated interchange between K-7, 151st Street and I-35.
I-470 Emergency Repair
Owner: Missouri Department of Transportation
Team Members: Pyramid Contractors Inc.
Project Cost: $6,665,030.15
Overview:
During routine inspections MoDOT discovered settlement on a highly travelled section of I-470 in the Grandview Triangle/Three Trails Crossing Interchange. The settlement, at a bridge abutment and retaining wall, eventually gave way to a pavement collapse and the full closure of the section of I-470. Pyramid was awarded the contract just 14 days following the complete closure of the Highway. To minimize the potential for future collapse Pyramid worked with the Design Engineer to shore the existing piling and abutment, excavate the new span, and construct a new abutment and span. To expedite the repairs and the re-opening of the highway Pyramid and the Design Engineer worked as a Design-Build team to share field conditions daily and providing design details as the construction progressed. Just 51 days after the Highway was closed the Project was completed and opened to traffic.
