Located in eastern Gwinnett County, the Rowen Foundation aims to transform 2,000 acres of rural land into a “knowledge community” – a reimagination and reinvention of the traditional office and research environment that will change the economic and social trajectory of Georgia, as well as make a national and even global impact. Reeves Young was selected as the General Contractor to perform roadway and infrastructure installations for this development. The scope of work included mass grading and storm drainage. Quantities for these items included 69,000 cy of cut-to-fill, 58,000 cy of imported material, 5,900’ of 18” RCP, 1650’ of 24” RCP, 400’ of 30” RCP, and 180’ of 36” RCP.

This roadway improvement project was performed for Holder Construction and supported the construction of the new City Center for the city of Sandy Springs. Reeves Young’s scope included the demolition of existing roadways and corresponding signalization at two intersections. Services included 250 LF of 36” jack and bore utility installation; 3,300 LF of 18” reinforced concrete pipe; 1,000 LF of 12” ductile iron pipe water main; 9,000 LF of curb and gutter; and 27,000 SY of asphalt paving. The project also contained 1.2 miles of walking trails and paths.

Reeves Young was awarded multiple work scopes for this highly technical project for the Holder, Hunt, Russell, Moody joint venture in charge of building Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The project included grading the 40-acre site, which required removing 200,000 CY of soil, equaling 100 dump trucks a day. It also required creating internal access roads; placement of 294,000 SF of soil cement for multiple crane pads; demolition of the existing roadway bridge and retaining wall; installation of water, sewer and utility lines; and installation of sitework, utilities, and traffic signals to support the new entrance road. Reeves Young also performed as Prime Contractor for the installation of a 268,000 CF underground cast-in-place stormwater detention vault.
