Segments 1 and 2W of the North Tarrant Express (NTE) consist of a $2.55 billion design/build construction project. JRB Engineering provided the geotechnical investigation for the eastern section of the NTE, Segment 2W, which consists of reconstructing 6.9 miles of SH 121/183 from IH 820/Northeast Interchange east to Industrial Boulevard. It involves rebuilding six existing general purpose lanes and frontage roads with auxiliary lanes, and adding four new managed lanes. Segment 2W increases capacity from six lanes to ten lanes, plus frontage roads and auxiliary lanes. Segment 2W includes the design and construction of bridges, drainage structures, MSE walls, drilled shaft walls, tie back walls, toll gantries, sign gantries, high mast light posts, operation and service buildings, pavement sections, embankments and approach fills, and underground utilities. We completed approximately 350 borings for a total depth of approximately 16,000 feet. In order to meet the scheduling requirements, we had up to six drilling rigs working on the project for about three months, which involved significant coring through shale, sandstone, and limestone in the Woodbine and Fort Worth Limestone formations.
