The Richmond District of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), which serves 14 counties, activated P&J following an ice storm early in February of 2021. P&J teamed with TetraTech to assist VDOT with the preliminary damage assessment throughout the District. The majority of the damage affected five of the District’s counties. A secondary storm hit this area again less than a week after the initial purchase order was issued.
Six (6) DMSs were identified, permitted, prepared, and operated by P&J after the owner-identified sites were determined inoperable. Collection of the 124,577 hazard items began five-days after the second ice storm strike, and loading and hauling of the 416,000 CY of vegetative debris began the following week.
At the peak of operations P&J had 150 active vehicles, with more than 225 registered during the project’s duration. More than 110 crews were split between 85 bucket trucks and 35 haul trucks.
