Construction Management

One project manager from start to finish for seamless coordination.

Seamless project management

Our construction administration approach ensures that the vision established during design is faithfully executed during construction. We maintain a consistent presence throughout the construction phase, providing oversight, coordination, and problem-solving when challenges arise.

Having the same project manager from design through construction means there's no learning curve, no handoff delays, and no loss of institutional knowledge. Your project manager understands every detail of the project, the stakeholders involved, and the unique requirements that make your project successful.

We excel at managing complex projects that involve multiple agencies, various funding sources, and intricate coordination requirements. Our team has extensive experience navigating regulatory requirements, managing public involvement, and ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget.

Walden Ravine Culvert & Stabilization Improvements

Ringwood Road — Lake Forest, Illinois 20192019

Bleck Engineering was retained by the City of Lake Forest to address a critical infrastructure failure at Walden Ravine, where a collapsed headwall at the Ringwood Road land bridge obstructed water flow and raised concerns about ravine stability and roadway safety. The project focused on rehabilitating a century-old brick culvert, stabilizing the ravine, and improving drainage and safety along Ringwood Road. Upstream improvements included construction of a new concrete headwall and restoration of approximately **130 feet of stream channel** using rock riffles, stone step pools, and erosion control measures designed to moderate flow and enhance habitat. The culvert was structurally reinforced using a **spray-in-place pipe lining system**, preserving the existing structure while minimizing environmental disturbance. Downstream, a new storm sewer system and reinforced drainage structures were installed to manage roadway runoff and protect ravine slopes. Additional slope stabilization measures included stone armoring and gabion baskets. Roadway improvements included milling and resurfacing approximately **300 feet of Ringwood Road**, installation of curb and gutter to control runoff, and placement of timber guardrails to improve safety along the steep ravine edge. Bleck Engineering also assisted the City in coordinating permits with local, state, and federal agencies.
