Like many cities, the City of Charlotte, North Carolina, faces the challenge of aging infrastructure in urban environments serving an ever-growing population. This presentation will present two case studies related to expedited temporary repairs the City undertook that employed innovative solutions. The first case study will examine a temporary bridge used to remove traffic loading from a compromised existing culvert that serves a center-city thoroughfare before the planned Republican National Convention and impending NFL season. The second case study will focus on an existing corrugated metal pipe that experienced a significant joint failure and the measures taken to protect the public and restore traffic in an accelerated manner. The presentation will include a summary of the challenges associated with each project and lessons learned.
