OCE performs thorough roadway condition assessments to evaluate existing conditions of pavement, drainage, structures, and roadway geometry. Our team documents deficiencies, identifies safety concerns, and assesses the overall serviceability of the roadway system to establish a clear baseline for improvement planning. The findings are compiled into a detailed report that prioritizes needs, informs cost estimating, and supports funding applications and regulatory submissions.

Where existing roadway conditions are beyond the point of routine maintenance or where re-alignment is necessary, OCE provides full reconstruction and relocation design services. Our team develops construction documents that address subgrade preparation, drainage improvements, pavement design, and geometric corrections in accordance with applicable state and local standards. We manage the project through permitting, bidding, and construction review/administration to ensure that the reconstructed or relocated roadway meets current design standards and serves the community reliably for years to come.

OCE provides slope stabilization assessment and design services to address erosion, sloughing, and slope failures that threaten roadway integrity and public safety. Our team evaluates site conditions, identifies the underlying causes of instability, and develops engineered solutions that may include grading, retaining structures, geotextiles, bioengineering techniques, or drainage improvements. We bring particular familiarity with Vermont’s challenging terrain and climate conditions, ensuring that stabilization measures are both technically sound and appropriate for the local environment.
