Tunnel Maintenance and Administration Services

Thompson & Litton, Inc., in conjunction with Vaughn & Melton of Middlesboro, Kentucky, organized Transportation Operation & Management, LLC (TOM, LLC) to provide broad based services to the transportation industry. The first project secured by the organization was Lot 2 of the “VDOT Statewide Tunnels, Moveable Bridges and Customer Service Center O&M Staffing and Support” Project. The initial requirement of the contract was to establish fire brigades for emergency response capability at the Big Walker Mountain Tunnel and East River Mountain Tunnel on Interstate 77 in Bland County, Virginia. Each tunnel contains both northbound and southbound tubes which are approximately one mile each.

Each tunnel now has a fire brigade consisting of 4 Emergency Response Teams (ERT). Each ERT has four fully trained firefighters, one of whom serves as the Team Leader. Including full time on-site training and management personnel, a TOM, LLC staff of 37 full time employees are required for 24/7/365 coverage.

The contract requires TOM, LLC to acquire all emergency response apparatus including two on-site fire trucks and related equipment for first responders as required by state and federal guidelines and regulations.

Additionally, in its support role and through individual task orders, TOM, LLC provides VDOT with routine maintenance services. Representative activities include items such as exhaust fan upkeep, gutter cleaning, mechanical/ electrical response teams, lighting maintenance and multiple small activities not normally performed in-house by VDOT staff.

CFX Construction Administration

The Coalfields Expressway (US Route 121) project is a proposed expressway owned by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) connecting portions of extreme Southwest Virginia from Route 23 in Pound located in Wise County, Virginia to the West Virginia state line just north of Buchanan County, Virginia stretching 51 miles across Buchanan, Dickenson, and Wise Counties. The towns and communities in these areas currently have poor access to a modern highway system as a result of the mountainous terrain characterized by steep ridges and narrow valleys indigenous to the region. The Coalfields Expressway (CFX) is a project that would allow, with the implementation of a four lane highway, portions of extreme Southwest Virginia access to outlying commercial prospects.

T&L was retained by Kellogg, Brown & Root in August 2002 as a subconsultant for Roadway Engineering in the development of the CFX. Specifically, T&L provided:

Extensive roadway design engineering for Section A;
Coordination of a utilities relocation plan, including field inspections and utility relocation plans for water and sewer for Section A and coordination with local utility companies;
Property and other related surveying; mine mapping; and
Preliminary Engineering and Mine Evaluations for Sections B & C of the highway.

Since 2013, T&L has been providing Construction Administration and Project Management services to VDOT and AECOM for the U.S. Route 460 Connector Phase II Project in Buchanan County, Virginia. The approximate $108 Million project consists of:

6.2 miles of 4-lane divided highway constructed to rough grade;
Coal Synergy which allows the contractor and VDOT to share in the value of incidental coal encountered within the project limits.

The Coal Synergy feature is coordinated through the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy (DMME) by means of a Government Financed Exemptions (GFE) permits in accordance with all federal and state legal requirements. In addition, certain roadway embankments are being constructed in accordance with DMME regulations for disposal of excess spoil in valley fills, head of hollow fills, and durable rock fills.
