For their capstone project in Civil and Environmental Engineering, a team of students developed a comprehensive plan to evaluate, prioritize, and design utility replacements in a subdivision in West Branch. 

The student team assessed existing utilities, evaluated replacement options, prioritized improvements, designed replacement systems, and provided a phased implementation roadmap for the City of West Branch.

The project scope focused on the analysis of road segments to identify high-priority improvements. This evaluation is supported by a dynamic cost estimation tool, which will allow city leadership to budget projects effectively and facilitate phased infrastructure planning. The final deliverables include a full engineering redesign of the highest-priority locations, incorporating updated specifications for utility and roadway modernizations tailored to the City’s evolving needs.
