Owner: City of Colorado Springs
Location: Colorado Springs, CO (Sand Creek @ East Platte Avenue)
Construction Start Date: Mid-October 2008
Superintendent: Jody Lazor, Tezak Heavy Equipment

Job Description: This project consists of the following work: Earthwork (cut & fill), Drop Boulder Structure (Grouted), Rip Rap Bank Armoring, Installation of Steel Sheet Piling, and Erosion Control Measures. On September 11, 2008 a record 4.3 inches of rain was measured at the Colorado Springs Airport, with more falling overnight. By 6:30 a.m. the next morning, the supports for the Platte Avenue Bridges over Sand Creek were so exposed and at risk due to erosion that the bridges were closed to traffic. The City of Colorado Springs had us mobilize on an emergency basis and we constructed a temporary drop structure downstream of the bridge to hold fill material that was placed by Colorado Springs City Crews. We placed a total of 2,500 tons of boulders and rip rap during September 12th and 13th. Thanks to the Colorado Springs City Crews and Tezak Heavy Equipment, the City was able to reopen the Platte Bridges by Monday's morning commute.

Location: Colorado Springs, CO (USAFA)
General Contractor: Toltest, Inc.
Project Superintendent: Jody Lazor, Tezak Heavy Equipment
Construction Start Date: November 2008

Job Background: "Portions of the Monument Branch middle tributary, and Elkhorn Creek on the United States Air Force Academy are being adversely affected by erosion and sedimentation caused by increased stormwater runoff from off-base development. Serious channel down-cutting and head-cutting is degrading wetland and riparian habitats, fragmenting the landscape, exposing underground utilities, and impacting the habitat of a Federally Protected Species (Preble's Meadow Jumping Mouse). In support of the mission, stream restoration engineering plans that incorporate more natural features and construction materials have been developed with the objectives of halting and repairing the channel degradation and promoting the restoration of wildlife habitats and aquatic resources." Tezak Heavy Equipment has been contracted by Toltest, Inc. to perform all of the civil work for the east boundary erosion control project.
