Downtown Mall - Central Fountain

Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall

Condition Survey and Repair Estimated Completed within Uncompromising Schedule

The City required a detailed condition survey and repair cost estimate for their 10 block pedestrian mall.  The project had to be completed within a 5-week schedule to meet the City’s planning needs.  Obsidian’s Principal’s developed the condition survey protocols which included both invasive and non-destructive surveys, managed the project and developed an interactive ADOBE© pdf format presented on an interactive CD-ROM for the final report.  The final submittal included a detailed engineering assessment of the brick paving system condition as well as a detailed repair estimate for three alternative repair scenarios.

This type of success demonstrates our ability to present complex engineering data in a user friendly format and meet demanding schedules.
