Advanced Planning

CP&Y has proven Advanced Planning capabilities including feasibility studies, corridor analysis, schematic design, permitting, environmental document preparation and public Involvement.  We understand the success comes from proper planning, coordination, communication and documentation and we take pride in doing this better than all others.  We have a staff of over 180 experienced engineers and environmental specialist that understand the NEPA process and project design requirements and who are especially talented in working within requirements of both to ensure our design will be approved by all affected agencies. 

IH 35/Loop 340 Interchange - TxDOT Waco

CP&Y provided the Schematic Design for this complicated freeway upgrade project. The project included the designed horizontal alignments and vertical profiles for the mainlanes, frontage roads, direct connectors and ramps (including loop ramps) for this complicated project. CP&Y provided the design of detour alignments and profiles and developed grading plans for intersections and loop ramp locations.  CP&Y provided complete Project Management and ensured that this project would compliment future reconstruction efforts on IH 35 including in addition to the future IH 35 widening and proposed direct connectors.

US 71, Sulphur River to Red River - Atlanta District

CP&Y provided the engineering and coordination for environmental research and constraints mapping for a corridor study of a new location freeway around Texarkana, TX. Work included compiling and creating GIS information using ArcView software and route optimization using ‘Quantm’, in addition to recommending design criteria to be used in the optimization process.

US 69, IH 10 to Pine Island Bayou - Beaumont District

CP&Y provided the schematic design for the widening of US 69 from four to six lanes. The project included route studies, traffic studies, schematic design, environmental studies and public involvement. This $75 million urban freeway-widening project included a complex multi-level interchange design with IH10, and included layouts of the mainlanes, direct connectors and frontage roads. 

Dallas Schematic On-Call - Dallas District

CP&Y was contracted by the Dallas District to provide on-call services for the District to assist in the review of proposed schematics.  This indefinite deliverable contract allowed CP&Y to work as an extension of the Dallas District’s staff to provide a quality check on schematics and provide additional service the District as needed.
