Here's What Attendees Have To Say About Past Meetings..... Sandpoint Byway Tour - October 25, 2011 The
ISPE Sandpoint Byway Tour was exciting to see the (almost) final product of a
large construction project in Northern Idaho. It was interesting to see all of
the construction elements that took place for this project, including
structures, roadways, pedestrian pathways, and environmental. Innovative
construction activities included the use of lightweight fill to eliminate
settlement of surrounding structures and a retaining wall facing to promote
plant growth. The ITD Resident Engineer provided a great background on the
project including what items worked well and what challenges occurred. This
project is a good example of coordination between federal and local agencies,
multiple contractors, the railroad, and a variety of stakeholders. HDR Engineering, Inc. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I just
wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much I enjoyed the "walk-through"
at Sandpoint on Tuesday. First of all I was most impressed with the Resident,
Ken Sorenson, who was right on top of everything and a very fitting personality
for such a huge responsibility. I have seen the project under construction for
some time, it was a real treat to get to see it first hand in the tour. I was
particularly interested with the structural retaining wall and all of the
related construction issues that have occurred. This project will certainly
enhance the City of Sandpoint for years to come. Thanks, John
