Richmond Flood wall

Richmond Flood Control involved construction of flood walls along the James River. In the course of construction, the pile driving operation and slurry wall construction encountered differing site conditions. Contaminated soils and design changes delayed the project and increased costs. Acceleration efforts, with attendant productivity issues, were undertaken. Smith Pachter McWhorter PLC prepared claims that were ultimately resolved through negotiation. (Owner: Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District).
