Bassett Engineering is excited to announce that we will be providing Construction Inspection Services for the Lycoming County Bridge Bundling Program, for Bundles 2, 3, and 4 with the first location in Franklin Township beginning this week. The Lycoming County Commissioners voted and approved Bassett’s proposal at a past County Commissioners meeting. We are looking forward to this opportunity to provide this professional service to Lycoming County, the municipalities, and the local community.

The project is split into four bundles: each bundle consists of 3 to 5 bridges of a similar structure type.  Bundle 1 was designed in 2020 and early 2021 and constructed in 2021. Bundles 2 and 3 were designed in 2021 with construction to begin spring of 2022. Bundle 4 will be designed in 2022 and is expected to be constructed in 2023.

These are the following sites for Bundles 2 and 3 that will be constructed in 2022!

Bassett Engineering is excited to be awarded the Construction Inspection contract by the City of Williamsport for the 2022 City Paving project. The City Council voted and approved the contract at the last City Council meeting. This is the first time that the City of Williamsport hired a Construction Inspector for a City paving project. Bassett will be inspecting the resurfacing of over 20 City streets and newly constructed ADA curb ramps. Ensuring the quality of work and keeping a great line of communication between field operations and the City of Williamsport will ensure great success on this project. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to work for the City and provide the local community with a high-quality project.
