MADISON - When the doors open for the 2013-14 school year on Friday, Sept. 6, students and staff members at the grades K-5 Kings Road School at 215 Kings Road will see a new retaining wall that separates the buildings driveway and rear parking lot from the schools play area.

This was the only major improvement over the summer to the grades K-12 school districts facilities, Superintendent of Schools Michael Rossi noted.

The finishing touch to the project was the installation of new fencing atop the retaining wall, work that began last week by Barcia Brothers Fence Inc. of Garfield and expected for completion this week, well before the schools reopening on Sept. 6.

The deteriorated state of the old retaining wall had been brought up by parents at several Board of Education meetings, and money for the improvement project was earmarked in the districts 2013-14 budget, with the Board of Education appropriating $175,000 from its maintenance reserve. On June 25, the school board approved the bid by Tec Con Contractors of East Orange to improve the retaining wall.

At a school board meeting Tuesday night, board member Shade Grahling remarked she was excited to that wall down, referring to the old retaining wall.

School district Business Administrator Gary Lane, also the secretary to the Board of Education, told the board the retaining wall replacement also will help drainage according to the Borough Engineer, Robert Vogel.

The design of the retaining wall replacement project was adjusted, in consultation with Borough Engineer Vogel, to improve drainage following concerns expressed by the Madison Planning Board in June. On Tuesday night the Board of Education approved an additional $15,000 appropriation to pay Tec Con Contractors for the work connected to the changes in the projects design, a sum recommended to the board by the projects architects, Parette Somjen in Rockaway.

Drainage Issue

The Board of Educations original contract award to Tec Con in late June followed a courtesy review of the retaining wall project at a June 18 hearing before the Madison Planning Board. The replacement and improvement of the 6-foot-high retaining wall at the Kings Road School won the Planning Boards unanimous approval but not before the municipal land use board raised the issue of stormwater runoff with school district representatives.

Madison Zoning Officer Frank Russo told the Planning Board that he and Borough Engineer Vogel were concerned about drainage problems at the Kings Road School property.

Bayville, NY (PRWEB) August 26, 2013

On October 29, 2012, the storm surge from Hurricane Sandy hit Long Island with a vengeance causing major beach erosion along the islands south and north shores. One of the regions that received a great amount of damage was the Bayville Oyster Bay area. West Shore Road, which is the main route between Oyster Bay, Bayville and the outlying Centre Island, was almost completely destroyed.

The immense tidal surges, high winds and heavy rains caused approximately 30 years of erosion damage in only three days. The damage closed down West Shore Road, causing a disruption to the local economies and livelihoods of the people in these communities. The road needed to be fixedboth quickly and soundly.

The key to the reconstruction of the road was the replacement of the retaining wall that held up the road and protected it from the harbor tides. The chosen engineering firm, Lockwood, Kessler & Bartlett, Inc., chose Stone Strong Systems as the retaining wall solution for the road reconstruction. Unlike a traditional poured-in-place wall, Stone Strongs retaining wall system is precast, eliminating the need for long forming and curing times before backfilling. It is a quicker method that doesnt require leaving open excavations for extended periods of time. By using a precast concrete solution, it was estimated that the contractor could install approximately 750 square feet of retaining wall per day, with the ability to backfill immediately after installation. In addition to the speed and convenience of the precast wall, Stone Strong also features a drainage system, which was a major advantage given the close proximity to harbor tides.

Construction began in December 2012 with a goal of completion by July 2013. A variety of preliminary work was required prior to construction of the retaining wall, including utility installation, construction of a temporary cofferdam to protect the construction zone from the harbor waters and dewatering the area between the cofferdam and the road. In March 2013, Stone Strong dealer, LHV Precast, Inc., began delivering Stone Strong block to the site. The design of the Stone Strong Retaining Wall System utilized Stone Strongs 24 square foot 86-inch extended blocks and 24 square foot 6-inch mass extenders. Because of the potential for beach erosion and possible undermining, a 60-inch minimum bury was required.

Despite some lost time coordinating utility repairs, final paving was completed on July 1, 2013 in time for the National 4th of July Celebration. By using the Stone Strong Retaining Wall System, the teams involvedincluding Delta Engineers, LHV Precast, Stone Strong Systems, LKB Engineers, and ALAC Contracting Corp were able to successfully replace West Shore Road by creating a Stone Strong ribbon connecting Bayville to Oyster Bay. Even under difficult conditions, the project was completed on time, allowing the surrounding communities to recover in time for the important summer season.
