DESCRIPTION
This drainage improvement project was constructed to alleviate flooding on Back O’ Beyond Road in Sedona, the only road into the Back O’ Beyond Ranch community. Surrounded by steep terrain and hard rock with no relief for stormwater, Back O’ Beyond Road would consistently flood during storm events at the low water crossing. Maintaining 100% access for the community throughout all phases of construction was paramount.
Project scope included an 80’ x 3’ x 12’ Jensen Precast segmental box culvert installed under the roadway in two-phases to maintain traffic. Banicki constructed ABC detour roads with temporary traffic signals to ensure the only access to the neighborhood remained open at all times. Further project scope included CIP headwalls and aprons; CIP drop structure; solid rock excavation; protect in place of a high-pressure gas line; gabion erosion mattress; gabion lined channels; rip rap channels; handrail; guardrail; and a new AC pavement section.
DESIGN PHASE SERVICES
Banicki leveraged our established partnership with Jensen Precast to secure the precast box segments within a mere ten weeks, surpassing our initial timeline by eight weeks. This accelerated acquisition enabled the project to commence ahead of schedule.
