Summary: The RQ-Bergelectric Joint Venture, operating as an integral part of the URS GMAC Team, is digging into this $100-million project that involves installation of 47 miles of underground communication infrastructure. Pinpoint accuracy will be achieved through the use of ground-penetrating radar to scan every inch of proposed trench locations for conflicts with existing utilities; GPS location positions will be included on all as-built drawings.
In addition to serving in a design-assist role to electrical engineers URS and ELEN Consulting, Berg’s scope of work comprises all trenching, conduit, cabling and fiber-optic cabling, including a staggering eight miles of underground 12kV duct bank, 530 manholes, 55 miles of communications trenching and 17,000 feet of directional boring.
