Rapid remediation
Article Abstract:
Florida DOT (FDOT) used a ground-water recovery system with deep vertical wells and high-recovery-rate horizontal drains to remove petroleum-based contaminants from a land area. The area is a part of land due for construction of a highway expansion project. The remedial action helped remove 99% of benzene and 95% of total volatile organic aromatics in three months. This clean-up method saved time and money and helped in continuing the expansion project without any delay.

Functional highway design
Article Abstract:
Departments of transportation of AZ, CO, FL and GA have implemented a creative design process strategy with concept master planning, systems planning and functional design phases, which precede the constructional design by highway engineers. This tedious methodology is an effort to mitigate operational deficiencies in the design and construction of highways.
