A&F conducted a traffic analysis on behalf of a residential developer for a townhouse community in Carmel, Indiana. This project included existing traffic data collection, traffic forecasting, and capacity analysis calculations.

A residential developer engaged A&F to conduct a comprehensive traffic impact study for a regional warehousing/distribution facility. This study included the collection of existing peak traffic data at 12 intersections—including facility passenger vehicles and semi-truck traffic projections. Based on the traffic data and analysis, roadway and intersection mitigation strategies were formulated to accommodate additional traffic volumes expected due to the warehouse/distribution facility.

These studies looked at some of the busiest areas in Fishers: 116th Street from Cumberland Road to Allisonville Road and Allisonville Road from 96th Street to 141st Street.The purpose of the studies was to improve traffic flow by modifying traffic signal timings. A&F collected traffic volume data, speed data, and travel time data to examine how to improve flow throughout each corridor. Bluetooth devices and floating car techniques were used to measure before and after travel times to determine the effectiveness of each
signal timing change.

A&F was contracted by the city to conduct an impact fee study that would determine the fees that could be assessed against future developments within the city. The assessed fees are used to fund infrastructure improvements that are necessary to accommodate growth in Noblesville, Indiana. A&F Engineering collected average daily traffic volumes on over 200 roadway segments using pneumatic traffic data recorders. We also deployed personnel in the field and Miovision camera systems to collect peak-hour turning movement traffic counts at over 200 intersections. This data was then documented within a report and geographically summarized on a series of maps. A&F collected peak hour turning movement counts at over 200 intersections and collected nearly 270 roadway segment classification counts.

Project includes a single lane design engineered to accommodate future two-lane format while also coordinating with ADA-compliant sidewalks, paths and a future bridge replacement. Because of its complexity, project requires coordination with adjacent landowners and area properties while also devising construction plan to minimize traffic disruption, including school bus routes.

Project includes design coordination with planned interchange to minimize reconstruction expense as well as creating a continuous path system for nearby development and trails. Mission critical to project’s success was also mitigating and planning for increased traffic on adjacent roads during construction.

A&F Engineering designed the reconstruction of 126th Street between Rangeline Road and Keystone Parkway in Carmel, IN. This project converted the approximately 0.5 mile stretch of two lane, uncurbed roadway to a boulevard style road with wide travel lanes, wide landscaped center median, and multi-use paths on both sides of the road. The existing road mainly drained via roadside ditches to various outlets along the corridor. With storm water now being completely contained within the roadway, drainage had to be conveyed offsite via curb inlets and underground storm pipes. Due to the grades of the surrounding area, the only available outlets for these storm pipes were connecting to three existing storm systems along the corridor. In order to not overload these systems or greatly increase the amount of downstream reconstruction needed, the proposed upstream portion system was oversized to create additional storage capacity before releasing to the existing system.

A&F Engineering designed the reconstruction of seven blocks of Delaware Street and three-and-a-half blocks of South Street, just south of downtown Indianapolis. On this project, A&F worked with the City of Indianapolis and local developers to reconstruct and beautify the streets, improve drainage, improve pedestrian access, and better fit the streets to the adjacent hotel, apartments, and retail shops being developed.

A&F Engineering designed, evaluated, and priced six different underground detention systems for this 10-acre project at the future heart of downtown Brownsburg.  After A&F presented comprehensive system pros and cons, the client selected a corrugated pipe system that provides adequate storage for a large water volume in a small footprint, offers flexibility for above-ground hardscape and landscaping—also delivering the lowest cost option.

Private partnership project developed as part of the redevelopment of Fishers’ Nickel Plate District. This project includes a 5-story apartment building with a public parking garage. The development design required coordination with the City of Fishers, developers, design consultants for the Nickel Plate Trail, and adjacent road and utility projects. A&F was responsible for designing the grading, stormwater pollution prevention plans, utilities, and obtaining the necessary approvals from Fishers and utilities.

Project included a six-story headquarters for First Internet Bank. The 4-acre site included a future 110-bed hotel developed as part of a Public Private Partnership redevelopment project in the Nickel Plate District. The development design required coordination with City of Fishers, developers, Browning Day, design consultants for the Nickel Plate Trail, and adjacent road and utility projects. A key project in the heart of the Nickel Plate District of downtown Fishers, A&F was responsible for designing the grading, stormwater pollution prevention plans, utilities and obtaining the necessary approvals from Fishers and utility companies.

Project included a 26,060 square foot building addition to the existing Colts Training Facility located on West 56^th Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. Additionally, it included expanded vehicle parking, and delivery/drop-off areas. Sidewalk improvements and additions are proposed to connect the building to the existing and proposed parking lots.

A&F provided both design and construction inspection services for this multi-use trail development, connecting the Riverwalk trail system. A portion of the newly designed trail was within the current road’s footprint–accomplished by using a road diet, creating two 12-foot lanes to one side, adding curb and gutter; then crafting a utility strip and wide bike path all within the existing road’s footprint. This approach allowed creation of a safe bike path route–separated from the road but without gaining right-of-way from the businesses along the planned route.

For the City of Indianapolis, Department of Public Works, A&F inspected structural rehabilitation of 30th Street and Sherman Drive. Project scope involved resurfacing high traffic streets as well as reconstructing curb ramps. An intricate and complicated stakeholder matrix required ongoing, effective communication was of upmost importance. Peak hour(s) traffic volumes posed a challenge in maintaining public safety while adhering to project schedule. In addition, during the base repair excavation, a large void was found under the existing pavement.  Upon further investigation, it was discovered the 24” CMP had failed. Leveraging our comprehensive design and construction inspection expertise, we were able to safely and efficiently navigate, manage and solve these complex construction and engineering challenges.

Hamilton County Highway Department employed A&F Engineering for design and inspection services at 106^th & Mollenkopf. The project involved road widening and storm water drainage improvements along with redesign of traffic system at the busy intersection. It was a priority to keep the traffic flow active throughout the project while ensuring safety and convenience for residents near the project area. Our team worked with HCHD and the contractor to maintain personnel and pedestrian safety throughout the project. The traffic system was upgraded to the highest standards for maximum efficiency while keeping the intersection open for public at all times. The project was brought to closure within expected timeline and to satisfaction of the Hamilton County Highway Department.

A&F Engineering provided inspection services for the City of Fishers during the construction of a roundabout with drainage improvements at the intersection of 126^th Street and Ford Drive. The project involved installation of an intricate stormwater drainage system, multi-use path, and a roundabout to efficiently serve the heavy traffic flow in the area. Along with active analysis of quantities and detailed documentation, the inspection team ensured state of the art testing of soil, concrete, and asphalt to deliver a project of the highest standards.  The inspection team also ensured that contractors adhered to the most current INDOT and City of Fishers standards to carry out the construction work and maintain a safe work environment as per Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations.
