3D Visualizations

One of the challenging aspects of civil engineering is communicating to stakeholders, property owners, and the public at large, about how a project may look when it’s completed and how it may impact the overall environment. A fully-immersive 3D environment is often the best way to do this.

Mesa County – Rosevale Road Drainage Improvement Project

Location: Mesa County, Colorado

The project area is located at the southwestern city limits of Grand Junction, just west of where the Colorado River flows into the Gunnison River. Most of this basin consists of desert, with the downstream portion being developed as a residential area with an agricultural area along the banks of the river. As part of this project, Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI) recommended drainage improvements based on an Alternatives Analysis, which will include stormwater detention facilities. The proposed detention facilities will be designed to regulate the flows from the 100-year storm event. Mesa County contracted with BHI to evaluate alternatives and develop construction plans for a project to mitigate flooding in the area.

We created a 3D visualization to show the residents of the area, and the public at large, what the new stormwater detention facilities will potentially look like after the project is completed.

Piñon Hills Boulevard Extension

Location: Farmington, New Mexico

The City of Farmington and San Juan County identified a need to construct a roadway and bridge that will provide a secondary traffic connection across the Animas River. The need for this connection has been studied for over 20 years. The Pinon Hills Boulevard Extension and Bridge project will satisfy this need by providing a new roadway from New Mexico 516/East Main Street to the intersection of County Road 390/Wildflower Parkway and County Road 3900.

We created a 3D visualization to show the residents of the area, and the public at large, what the new roadway extension will potentially look like after the project is completed.

I-40 29.7 Drainage and Bridge Improvements

Location: Gallup, NM

Near MP 29.7 on I-40 in McKinley County, the three bridges over the South Fork Puerco River neither accommodate predicted 50- and 100-year stormwater events nor meet NMDOT drainage design criteria. Both of the interstate bridges and the NM 118 bridge have been studied and determined to be undersized and needing replacement. The NMDOT currently has a project underway to design the new bridges needed to accommodate future large-storm events (as well as roadway and drainage improvements) and become facilities that can serve the greater transportation corridors of I-40 and NM 118 for years to come.

Sunport Blvd. Extension

Location: Albuquerque, NM

The long-awaited completion of the Sunport Blvd. Extension – I-25 to Broadway closes a significant gap in the transportation network of Albuquerque’s busy South Valley. The project included the reconfiguration of the I-25/Sunport Interchange and the extension of the roadway. It improves the overall roadway system by balancing traffic volumes and alleviating congestion and enhances transportation and multimodal connectivity by improving access to economic areas, expanding and improving multimodal facilities, and providing redundancy in the transportation system. Bohannan Huston, Inc.’s comprehensive team of roadway, structural, traffic, surveying, environmental, utility, geotechnical, and construction experts worked together with the client, Bernalillo County, the public, and other stakeholders to provide a safe and complete transportation project.

Upper La Cueva Neighborhood Drainage Project

Location: Albuquerque, NM

Bernalillo County contracted with Bohannan Huston, Inc. (BHI) to complete a study of the Upper La Cueva Watershed with the objective of developing potential watershed improvements to provide regional sediment capture, and water quality improvements.

Based on the watershed study and project objectives the following Upper La Cueva Watershed improvements are currently being designed to include: 1. Two new detention, sediment capture, and water quality ponds along the South La Cueva Arroyo between Lowell Drive and Opal Jewell Drive. 2. A new storm drain from the downstream proposed pond to just downstream of the intersection of Browning Street and Signal Avenue.

I-10/NM 404 Interchange Exit 162 – Direct Connectors Phase A/B Study

Location: Lac Cruces, NM

The I-10/NM 404 Interchange is a regionally critical facility serving in the New Mexico and Texas transportation networks. The NMDOT has been pursuing a phased approach to maintaining the facility and expanding its capacity, and for years Bohannan Huston has been directly involved to assist. We look forward to continuing
to support the Department on the current project that will ultimately see the implementation of free-flow, direct-connect ramps between these two major roadways.
For this Phase A/B Study, BHI and Molzen Corbin have teamed up to provide the Department with the best team to complete this study as well as future phases beyond.

I-25 and US 64/87 Interchange Reconstruction

Location: Raton, NM

Based on the analysis included in the Phase I-A/B Alignment Study, feedback from stakeholders and the public, and discussions with the NMDOT, the preferred alternative
(Alternative 6) is to incorporate a new bridge and reconfigure as a tight diamond interchange. This alternative offers the most feasible interchange with no ROW impacts and minimal construction risks. These reasons, combined with the familiarity to drivers and the high percentage of non-local traffic interchange usage, make it the safest option. Adding
signals and removing the loop ramp allows for more standardized traffic patterns and familiarity for non-local drivers and best mitigates the previous backups being experienced on the ramps. The configuration also provides for maximum spacing between the frontage road system and the interstate ramp system.
