Ohio River Bridges – East End Crossing

Mobilisation

PCSG co-located overseas with a JV client to support a successful bid submission and subsequent mobilisation of a major bridge project.

With the help of the PCSG team, our client secured the contract to design, construct, finance, operate and maintain the tolled bridge and associated roadways, tunnel and other facilities for the East End Crossing. Part of the Ohio River Bridges Project, these works link Louisville, Kentucky, to Southern Indiana in one of the biggest transportation infrastructure projects in the USA.

A Chicago-based bid team from PCSG supported written submissions for the tender and, once successful, returned to support mobilisation of the project from Chicago to the site office in Louisville. Continual support was provided throughout from the PCSG London based team. The use of and online collaborative document management system and communications technology meant a cost efficient and effective and supportive solution to this international work.

A key activity at both tender stage and into mobilisation was supporting the writing of the project’s management plans and development of their electronic integrated management system (IMS). Our input was particularly valuable to the JV during mobilisation, for them to meet the challenging timeframe of 30 days in which to submit and gain their client’s approval for the management system documents. PCSG developed these using our well developed in situ and UK-based international solution, which has the added efficiency of taking advantage of time differences around the world.
