About the Project
A large redevelopment project in Richton Park required structure removal, underground utility installation, excavation and grading, and full traffic management along an active roadway.
The site’s location along a busy traffic corridor meant safety, sequencing, and precision were top priorities.
This project showcased Donegal’s ability to coordinate four divisions simultaneously, keeping the site safe, compliant, and moving forward without delay.
Key Project Stats
- Location: Richton Park, Illinois
- Scope: Demolition, earthwork, utility trenching, traffic control
- Environment: Work along an active roadway
- Completion: On schedule
- Final Condition: Prepped site ready for the next phase of development
The Challenge
This project required strict safety oversight and precise coordination due to:
- Heavy traffic volumes along the work zone
- Multiple service lines installed in tight corridors
- Mixed soil conditions require careful excavation
- Maintaining access for local businesses
- Coordinating demolition debris removal without blocking roadways
Donegal’s experience with complex, multi-phase civil work ensured smooth progress from day one.
Our Approach
1. Traffic Control & Roadway Safety
Certified crews deployed cones, barricades, signage, and flaggers to maintain safe traffic flow around the work zone.
2. Controlled Demolition
Old structures and pavement were removed efficiently and hauled out using our in-house trucking fleet.
3. Excavation & Earthwork
We reshaped the site, prepared trenches, and stabilized the grade for utilities and future development phases.
4. Site Utility Installation
Donegal installed underground utilities with precision — following all local and state regulations, including bedding, compaction, and inspection requirements.
5. Ongoing Coordination
Crews from all divisions worked under one schedule, minimizing delays and keeping the project moving.
