Shirk Road Reconstruction Update

By

Bassett Engineering has worked extensively with Hartleton Borough in Union County to reconstruct 2,550-foot long 2-lane Shirk Road, a rural road in the southwest corner of the Borough from Laurel Road to the southerly borough boundary. The project used conventional road reconstruction methods by removing the existing roadway to existing subgrade and installing stone subbase and pavement base and wearing courses.  Asphalt paving was completed on July 29th!  Minor work remains: completing roadside ditches and establishing vegetation. Schlegel Excavating, Inc. was the Contractor and did a fine job. Check out the photos!

By

Lycoming County Commissioners awarded its Bridge Bundling Program to Bassett Engineering on June 11, 2020.  Seventeen bridges will be replaced or repaired at an estimated total construction cost of $6.9 million, making this our largest bridge project to date. The bridges will be bundled in a series of construction projects, each project being planned to include 4 to 5 bridges. This program will be the first of its kind in the state, a partnership where Lycoming County is taking the lead in joining with 17 municipalities in the County which actually own the bridges. Wallace Montgomery and Associates, one of the mid-Atlantic’s premier bridge engineers will be our subconsultant. Construction is planned to be complete by the end of 2023.

Completed Project: Terry Township Post-Framed Garage

By

Bassett Engineering worked with Stoltzfus Contracting on this project for Terry Township that involved building a new garage for with a structural frame that consisted of 8 x 8 timbers and pre-engineered roof trusses. The garage is approximately 72 x 44 feet. It has three 14 ft. x 14 ft. garage doors plus two 3-foot wide man doors.  Bassett designed the garage including: exterior siding, roofing, interior liner panels, garage and man-doors, through-door to existing grading. The concrete floor is designed to be heavy enough to support dump trucks and construction equipment. The garage is well-insulated thanks to spray-on foam insulation in the side walls and blown-in fiberglass above the ceiling liner panel. The attic space will be ventilated by gravity louvers (no fans).
