Overcoming Complications
This project was complicated due to an extreme vertical drop adjacent to and under Pine Creek, classified as an Exceptional Value (EV) stream, and the adjacent State Road in the village of Coburn, Centre County, PA. Despite the level of difficulty of the project, the Century team still managed to contribute to the project’s under-budget completion.
