Deteriorating Concrete Segmented Block Retaining Walls were located along various county highways. The department identified wall locations to be included in a given programmed year for replacement and contracted Bloom to evaluate the walls, design repairs and prepare contract documents. Construction scope included wall and culvert repairs and roadside safety improvements.

Bloom responsibilities included the analysis design and preparation of drawings, specifications and estimates for wall, culvert, shoulder and guardrail improvements. The Bloom team performed topographic survey, geotechnical investigation, environmental investigation, structural analysis, hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, and coordination/permitting with Lake County Stormwater Management Commission and United States Army Corp of Engineers Chicago District.
