In the late summer of 2020 R.J. Grondin & Sons began work on the Brandy Brook Box Culvert for the Maine DOT. This project involved the installation of a brand new 8’x6′ box culvert along with reconstruction of a significant part of the existing streambed. The existing culvert at this location had deteriorated with age and had restricted the migration of fish species which live in this stream. Our crews worked diligently to complete this project during a narrow window of time to minimize our ecological impact on the migratory fish species living in the stream. Crews worked closely with state biologists to ensure that stream bed construction would maintain the delicate ecosystem present in the stream. As a part of this project, our crews removed the existing roadway to facilitate the installation of the new culvert. Once the new culvert had been installed, our crews rebuilt the roadway using base and sub-base gravels that would hold up to the heavy traffic in this area. Another important aspect of this project was the reparation of the erosion of slopes surrounding the stream along with mitigation of future erosion into the new stream bed.
