  1. MCB Camp Lejeune Transportation Projects Analysis, Charrettes & Design on the Fast Track Sreekanth (Sunny) Nandagiri, PE, PMP Ryan Eckenrode, PE, PTOE NCAMPO Annual Meeting May 3rd, 2012

  2. Base Details • Camp Lejeune – Jacksonville, North Carolina • Established 1941 • 244 square miles, 11 miles of beach • Greater than 180,000 people-Base and Jacksonville • 40,000 Marines • Base and surrounding community • Active duty, retired and civilian • $3 Billion in commerce every year Source: http://www.lejeune.usmc.mil/about/

  3. Project Overview • $30 Million-Indefinite Quantity Contract-NAVFAC (Naval Facilities Engineering Command ) • Utilities Design and Engineering • Utility-repair, replacement & upgrade • Each project had a separate “Mod” • Transportation Projects: • Road widening-Several corridors • Traffic capacity analysis-Synchro • Signal Design and ITS

  4. Transportation Projects • HP (Hadnot Point) Roads-Widening • Louis Road • Dogwood Street • Holcomb & McHugh roundabout / traffic circle • Piney Green Road-Widening • Gonzalez Boulevard Extension • Resurfacing of Streets

  5. Map Piney Green Rd Louis Rd Roundabout Gonzalez Blvd Ext Resurfacing

  6. HP Roads – Louis Road • 2 existing signals • Sneads Ferry • McHugh Blvd • Heavy congestion • Dogwood Street • Not a through street today

  7. HP Roads – Louis Road Recommendations • Add two more signals • Birch Street • Dogwood Street • Widen to three lanes • Complete Dogwood Street • Provides new link to commissary • FYA at 3 of 4 signalized intersections

  8. Roundabout – McHugh at Holcomb HOLCOMB North McHUGH

  9. Roundabout – McHugh at HolcombRecommendation

  10. Gonzalez Boulevard Extension • New location • Barracks under construction • Mess hall under construction • Would Provides link to French Creek between McHugh Blvd and Sneads Ferry Rd • Two lane section recommended • FYA at signalized intersection

  11. Piney Green Road • Alternative entrance into MCB Camp Lejeune • Main commercial truck entrance • Improvements at entrance control facility underway

  12. Piney Green Road - Recommendations • Widen to four lane section • Add additional exiting lane at entrance control facility • Non typical widening to avoid impacts to adjacent land uses • Status: Piney Green was bid as an option which NAVFAC has not awarded yet.

  13. Specs Intact • Does not include signal specifications • Signal specifications were added as needed to reflect NCDOT standards • Other standards also must be included • ASTM • NEC • NCDOT • Example: • Instead of referring to the NCDOT standards for foundations, detailed specifications were listed for excavation, concrete pouring, curing etc—Mast arm poles

  14. Charettes • Intense 2 day Design Charettes (20-25% design stage) between the Client and the Consultant • First day: • Initial discussion/Powerpoint presentation regarding the project • Consultant presents initial design and recommendations/alignment options • Client provides feedback/direction • Consultant captures the feedback using “smart boards” • Consultant analyzes the changes on that evening • Second day: • Consultant updates/modifies the presentation • Consultant gets the “buy-in” on the design concept • Client approves the concept

  15. Challenges • Flooding • Very flat and adjacent to the ocean • Steam vaults • Vehicular types • Cars • Military trucks (MRAPs) - 30+ tons weight • Tanks • Trains • Base access • Projects in parallel--Review process • High concentration of young drivers

  16. Challenges Continued • Vehicular patterns • Everyone arrives at 6AM and leaves at 3PM • No range for the peaks-It happens at once • Considered reversible lanes: • Piney Green • 80/20 Traffic split • Dropped because of operational challenges

  17. Pleasant Surprises of Working at MCB Lejeune • No ROW constraints as all Military property • Traffic very predictable, congestion early AM, lunch and late afternoon • Drivers stopping and allowing us to continue working • No speeding drivers • Review process was very formal • All utilities were owned by the Military-Coordination was easier
