Downtown Auburn Progress May 2021

Storm Drain Materials on site

On-site work has begun on Downtown Auburn's Municipal Complex and infrastructure for the area. Here's the latest from BM&K Construction & Engineering. Regular updates will be provided as the project progresses.   

BM&K mobilized the week of February 22nd and began erosion control, demolition, and initial grading. Work has progressed with mass grading, storm drain installation, and sanitary sewer installation. 

As the project progresses, every step is taken to ensure compliance with the plans and specifications.  This includes but is not limited to:

• Soil density testing
• Concrete and materials testing
• Footing and reinforcing inspections
• Pavement testing

In addition to the City of Auburn staff and BM&K supervision, Contour Engineering has been on site to inspect storm drain installation, as well as Onsite Monitoring conducting weekly erosion control inspections.

As an additional quality assurance check, the design team will regularly issue observation reports to the construction team to ensure the project is constructed per the plans and specifications and to ensure the City receives the highest quality product.
