Projects
This section includes
a comprehensive listing of all projects that were completed during
the 2000 construction year.
BRIDGES
The Butler County Engineer's
Office performs an annual inspection of all bridges on County
and Township roads. Some bridges receive inspection two or more
times per year due to their worsened condition. The BCEO had
inspection and maintenance responsibility for 369 bridges (structures
with a clear span of ten feet or greater) at the beginning of
2000. That number remained unchanged at the end of the year.
There are 34 bridges
located on State highways within municipalities for which the
State of Ohio has inspection responsibility but the County Engineer
has maintenance responsibility.
Nineteen bridges were
posted with load limit restrictions at the end of 2000. The County
Engineer's aggressive bridge program is designed to reduce and
eventually eliminate all load-rated bridges.

CULVERTS
The BCEO's Operations
Department is responsible for the annual inspection of all culverts
located on County and Township roads --- that number totaled
1,046 at the beginning of 2000. A culvert is a conduit running
underneath a road for the purpose of transferring storm water
runoff from one side of the road to another. Culverts are technically
classified as structures with a clear span of less than ten feet
and can be made of different types of material. Culvert replacements
are, like bridges, determined by the age and condition of the
structure and are often planned in conjunction with future resurfacing
projects.

PAVING
The Butler County Engineer's
Office is responsible for 272.08 miles (centerline miles) of
roadway and has a 12-15 year paving program in place. This system
enables roads to be resurfaced on a regular basis and maintained
routinely in a more cost-effective manner. Many Township roads
that are substandard in lane width and those County roads that
meet minimum standards only, where feasible, are also being widened
to bring them up to modern safety standards.
- Thirty-four miles
of county, township, and municipal roads were resurfaced in 2000.
This also includes berming of all major roads paved.

GENERAL/SEASONAL
ROADWAY MAINTENANCE
The Operations Department
of the Butler County Engineer's Office is responsible for all
Force Account projects as well as the general day-to-day maintenance
and seasonal-type maintenance of bridges and roads on the County
roadway system. This includes ditching and drainage projects,
painting and striping of roads, signing, patching, pavement repair,
bridge repair, berm work, guardrail repair, mowing, brush and
weed control, and snow and ice control. Also included is emergency
maintenance such as storm damage, downed trees, high water and
flooding problems, and any debris that poses an immediate safety
hazard to the motoring public.
- Total spent on
general maintenance: $1,462,814.00
-
- 2000
Snow and Ice Control
-
- A mild first half
of 2000 kept BCEO snow and ice control requirements to a minimum.
There were two significant snow events in mid-January while all
others were relatively minor. The final two months of the year,
while much colder than normal, produced only light snowfall amounts.
-
- The Butler County
Engineer's Office completed its first full season utilizing a
larger salt dome that was constructed
in 1999. Built in an effort to improve snow and ice control efficiency,
the new storage facility holds 6,500 tons of salt on site as
compared with the former 1,800-ton facility.
-
- The new Snowfighters
page developed on our web site has proven to be instrumental
in educating the media and the general public about the BCEO
snow and ice control program. Designed to provide an in-depth
overview of snow and ice management efforts, the page also features
some interesting local winter history.
-
- Total road salt
used: 5,300 tons (1999 = 3,093 tons)
- Total calcium
chloride used: 5,860 gallons (1999 = 9,502 gallons)
- Total man-hours
utilized for snow-and-ice control: 4,970 hours (1999 = 6,534 hours)
- Total labor cost:
$82,804.56 (1999 = $110,986)
RAILROAD
CROSSINGS
Railroad crossing safety
is a major concern of the County Engineer's Office. The number
of crossing accidents continues to decline in Butler County despite
increased traffic volumes due in part to the BCEO's close work
with major railroad companies.
