Driveway reconstruction plan
Posted on Wednesday, April 9th, 2025
Over several months, a group of civil engineering students were able to obtain the resources to complete a topographical survey of the area being analyzed. The group was also able to complete a geotechnical report describing the soil conditions at this location.
They were then able to take this data to create AutoCAD files of the existing property as well as the proposed design changes. These drawings comply with the town of Perth’s bylaws regarding driveways. After this information was collected, the group was able to coordinate with a local construction company in order to create a cost analysis that could be presented to the Homeowner. The particular Contractor the group selected to work with based on the homeowners’ request was Arnott Brother Construction. This Contractor would be able to reuse and recycle any material coming off the site.
Working with different faculty, advisors, and the Town of Perth civil department, the group was able to give the Homeowner a comprehensive report about their property as well as a cost analysis of the work the Homeowner would like to have completed.
