Our contracting partners, Vortex, recently used a robotic rover to inspect a drainage pipe under Norridgewock Ave in Skowhegan. No need for digging and no traffic disruption. These inspections help us spot issues early and plan repairs.

We recently completed a large culvert replacement in Brighton on Rt 154. Crews replaced the twin 5-foot metal culverts with a new 8'x10'x100' concrete box culvert. The new culvert will improve drainage & provide wildlife crossing space. Work started 6/9 & paving finished on 6/17!
