Dorcas Lane Reconstruction Project

Manzanita, Oregon

Our team was the prime the consultant, providing project management, civil engineering, construction administration and
inspection services for a complete road and utility reconstruction project in Manzanita.
Dorcas Lane parallels Laneda Avenue and had multiple utility and road failure throughout the years. This project was a high priority project for the City of Manzanita due to the high volume of vehicular and foot traffic, combined with failing water and storm water utilities throughout this corridor. The existing water system had been repaired approximately 6 times within the half mile stretch of road within the last five years. Also, insufficient storm water facilities and increased development caused local flooding with potential for property damage.
