His experience will allow him to identify project <br />issues before they become problems, and communicate timely recommendations <br />for cost-effective solutions. <br />PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />Monon Trail Over SR 32 <br />CLIENT: City of Westfield <br />APPROXIMATE PROJECT COST: $3.5M <br />The federal aid bridge was designed and inspected by United to match the appearance of <br />two neighboring Monon Trail bridges. Retaining walls were required along the Monon Trail <br />to provide adequate vertical clearance over SR 32 and Tournament Trail Drive, while staying <br />within existing right-of-way and avoiding various utilities. The retaining walls for the bridge <br />approaches utilize “large block construction.” The piers have a concrete form-liner that has <br />a similar look as the retaining walls. The structure is a five-span painted prefabricated steel <br />truss structure with one span at 65 feet and four spans at 120 feet each. The main span for <br />the new structure is 176 feet long. The project also required a high level of coordination with <br />several businesses and government agencies. <br />CR 100 S from Dan Jones Road to Ronald Reagan Parkway <br />CLIENT: Town of Avon – 6570 East US Highway 36, Avon, IN 46123 <br />APPROXIMATE PROJECT COST: $12.8M <br />Completed in March 2024, in this two-mile stretch, two additional travel lanes with a <br />boulevard style center median, a new bridge over Clark’s Creek, and roundabouts at Salt <br />Lake Road, County Road 900 East, and All Points Court were constructed. The roadway <br />provided improved access to Avon Logistics and alleviated traffic congestion for the public. <br />The reconstruction started with Duke Energy’s transmission line guy wire conflicting with <br />the proposed sanitary sewer line. Braun and his team were able to redesign, obtain WCCD <br />approval, and acquire new sanitary sewer manholes while incurring only a 43-calendar-day <br />delay. Fortunately, United completed all relocation work months ahead of schedule, which <br />allowed us to recommend an alternative maintenance of traffic phasing plan that provided a <br />better end product and opened the roadway to traffic in 2021. <br />Monon Trail Over SR 3 CR 100 S from Dan Jones Road to Ronald Reagan Parkway <br />BRAUN RODGERS, PE <br />FIELD OPERATIONS MANAGER <br />CONTACT <br />O: 317-895-2585 <br />M: 317-258-7752 <br />E: braun.rodgers@ucindy.com <br />EDUCATION <br />Purdue University <br />BS, Civil Engineering <br />CERTIFICATIONS <br /> PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, <br />Indiana; PE1160032 <br /> INDOT Certified Technician <br />Program -Certified in All Areas <br /> INDOT Quality Assurance Certified <br /> INDOT Certified Bridge Inspection <br />Team Leader <br /> Indiana Water Environmental <br />Association - Water and <br />Sewer Course <br /> OSHA Confined Space Entry Course <br /> INDOT Site Manager Proficiency <br /> INDOT Storm Water Management <br />Training <br /> CIP Training <br /> ACEC DPW RPR Workshop <br />EXPERIENCE <br />9+ YEARS <br />FIELD OPERATIONS MANAGER
