The Safe &amp;&nbsp; Sound program will replace or rehabilitate 802 of Missouri\'s&nbsp; lowest-rated bridges, with at least one in every county, within the&nbsp; next five years. To complete the&nbsp; investigations, Terracon assembled a team of engineers and field&nbsp; technicians from its St. Louis, Columbia, Springfield and Kansas&nbsp; City, Mo., offices as well as the Bettendorf, Des Moines and Cedar&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rapids, Iowa, offices. \"Our goal as a&nbsp; subconsultant is to provide reliable geotechnical data for the&nbsp; design-build team,\" said David Harwood, P.E., senior project&nbsp; principal. \"Terracon\'s capabilities and resources are especially&nbsp; suited to the demands of a multi-site design-build project, which&nbsp; requires successfully responding to intensive workloads, deadlines&nbsp; and budgets.\"</p>
<p>Other major&nbsp; participants on the Missouri Bridge Partners team include: Zachry&nbsp; American Infrastructure, Fred Weber, Inc., Clarkson Construction,&nbsp; HNTB and Infrastructure Corporation of America. Total costs for the&nbsp; Safe &amp; Sound program are estimated at $400 million to $600&nbsp; million, and project completion is expected in October&nbsp; 2011.</p>";s:10:"category_0";s:1:"6";}
