HEAVY CIVIL
MERCO has extensive experience in a wide range of Heavy Civil projects with complex engineering issues and limited access including:
- Shafts
- Foundations
- Underpinning
- Rock Support and Earth Retention Systems
- Ground Improvement and Grouting Programs
These projects present unique access and maintenance of operations issues and complex engineering challenges, the kind of projects on which MERCO has built is reputation for successfully completed projects that has saved our clients millions.
PRECONSTRUCTION
The success of every MERCO project is a function of the commitment of time and energy we spend on Preconstruction activities. Constructability reviews, phasing and scheduling, and value engineering are all vital components of a well formulated preconstruction strategy, a strategy that has saved MERCO clients millions of dollars.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW
MERCO’s Constructability Reviews provides owners with the opportunity to benefit from our extensive field experience, at a time when it can have the greatest impact on the overall success of the project. By anticipating and taking steps to mitigate field problems before the start of construction, we more effectively maintain or reduce the project schedule while minimizing potential change orders.
VALUE ENGINEERING
At MERCO we perform Value Engineering studies to help our clients evaluate their options for accelerating the schedule, reducing costs, and/or improving quality. Everything from construction phasing, to the processes and materials are reviewed to ensure that we deliver the best possible value for the owner. Dependent upon the project and considering the circumstances, Merco will perform both the Design and Build tasks related to the work (Design Build). These Design Build projects range from small private rock slope projects with no prior engineering to large public heavy civil projects.
