Skippack, PA – On the evening of November 4th, 2021, H&K Group, Inc. (H&K) was a Merit Award Winner at Associated Builder and Contractors, Inc., Eastern PA Chapter’s (ABC’s) 2021 Excellence in Construction Awards Gala held in Norristown, PA. H&K received the coveted “Eagle Award” in ABC’s Best Heavy Construction/Sitework "$10 Million & Over" category. The final tendered amount for the project was valued at $32.9 Million.
Known as the SR-422 Stowe Interchange Project, or ECMS #84308-SR422-M2C, this major Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) effort included reconstruction of 2.39 Miles of SR-422 including realignment and widening, safety improvements, storm water improvements, one bridge replacement, two culvert extensions and one stream relocation. The project was completed over a three-year period, with multiple stages completed each year. The project also included existing concrete/asphalt overlay roadway replacement with (82,172 SY) of Long-Life Concrete Pave (LLCP) as supplied from a Rahns Concrete Mobile Ready-Mix Plant. H&K formally submitted the project for entry into ABC’s Awards of Excellence Competition on August 20, 2021, along with many of Eastern PA’s finest contracting and construction related projects and participating ABC companies.
H&K’s SR422-M2C project was located in West Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, PA and was originally awarded in July of 2017, with actual start of construction on August 7, 2017 and final completion on November 21, 2020. The project also included numerous highlights and innovations including remaining ahead of schedule with select rephasing due to inclement weather, PennDOT Management Staff and H&K working together in an efficient manner to maintain both cost, safety, and schedule, and aggressive milestone dates as assigned to each stage for traffic switches. PennDOT also worked with H&K to revise staging as necessary to remedy embankment work issues from constant inclement weather in 2018.
