Utility Coordination on Design Build Projects
A key contributor to the success of Design Build (DB) and Public, Private, Partnerships (PPP) projects is the planned coordination between the project owner, the developer and utility owners. When this process breaks down, the project experiences cost overruns and schedule delays. These overruns and delays are magnified on large scale highway projects involving complex utility infrastructure.
The role of a skilled utility coordination team is to add value to all project stakeholders. Anderson Infrastructure (AI) professionals are the front line team providing utility solutions from the planning stage through design and construction. Our team is known for consistently delivering projects by eliminating utility surprises and issues. AI’s key to success is combining experienced utility managers/engineers with seasoned utility coordinators.
Our methods are proven and effective;
- Provide the project with the most experienced utility coordination team in the state
- Evaluate the needs of each project and develop a plan of execution
- Avoid utility relocations whenever practical to benefit the project owner, developer and the utility owner. Each entity benefits by this avoidance goal
- Oversee utility construction to ensure compliance with approved utility relocation design plans
- Review invoices against the utility inspector’s daily reports and as-built drawings for accuracy
When your project includes our skillful, well-trained utility coordination team, you will reduce relocations while preventing potential utility delays during design and construction.
