Projects:
Our Evansville + New Albany teams are proud to contribute to impactful projects across the region.
I-69: The new I-69 corridor between Evansville and Indianapolis plays a crucial role in the economic future of southwestern Indiana, enhancing regional connectivity and providing improved access to jobs, education, and healthcare. At its peak in 2012, I-69 was the longest continuous new-terrain interstate construction project in the US, positioning Indiana as a competitive hub for attracting new business and job opportunities.
S&ME is proud to provide construction materials testing to support the I-69 corridor project.
Arnoldtown Road: In collaboration with Strand and Louisville Metro Public Works, S&ME is functioning as the Resident Project Representative and performing material testing for the project, which involves stabilizing a roadway embankment using a soldier pile wall designed by our S&ME team.
We look forward to the growth of our Evansville and New Albany operations under Deryk’s leadership.
