Veteran's Memorial Overpass (25 Images) - Click here for more project info
Pima County Department of Transportation (PCDOT) has rebuilt the Veterans Memorial Overpass in Tucson , Arizona. The contracting company performing the construction submitted a value-engineering (VE) proposal to replace all Cast-in-Place (CIP) retaining walls on the Veterans Memorial Overpass (VMO) with Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) walls. PCDOT retained NCS to assist with the evaluation of the VE proposal.
