HIGHWAY UNDER $5 MILLION
MUMFORD & MILLER CONCRETE
Walnut Street, Front Street to 3rd Street, Wilmington
Mumford and Miller successfully executed Delaware’s first Department
of Transportation CM/GC pilot project overcoming numerous challenges.
The site is located at the transportation hub of Wilmington’s train and bus stations along a heavily trafficked main corridor into Wilmington. The project incorporated significant upgrades to both roadways and pedestrian pathways that placed challenging scheduling demands on the project due to its high automobile, transit and pedestrian use. In addition to having to be innovative in safely rerouting these modes of transportation, the project had the added challenge of existing underground utilities with unknown locations and depths due to the age of the facilities.

THE WHITING-TURNER CONTRACTING COMPANY
Salesianum School Abessinio Stadium
Abessinio Stadium, formerly Baynard Stadium, is a 13.75-acre sports and fitness complex located in Wilmington, Delaware. The facility was built to house and operate Salesianum Athletics, Howard Athletics,
and DNREC/the Delaware State Parks Department along with public use and private rentals. Everything on the site is built around the track and field. The greatest example of teamwork was associated with the site logistics and sequencing of work. The tight schedule meant the team had to optimize site logistics to allow track and field construction to be concurrent with vertical building. Whiting-Turner was able to meet the challenge and finish the project before Salesianum’s fall football opening
in November 2020.
