MZB Engineering, Inc. is a professional engineering firm providing Traffic Engineering, Construction Engineering, and Traffic Control Services for contractors and infrastructure projects. For Alaska projects, we develop Temporary Traffic Control Plans, Traffic Handling Plans, Stage Construction Plans, Temporary Traffic Signal Plans & Temporary Striping Plans per agency requirements.
MZB supports Alaska contractors from engineering and planning through construction and field implementation. Our capabilities are organized around Traffic Engineering, Construction Engineering and additional project support.
Temporary Traffic Control Plans: MZB prepares site-specific Temporary Traffic Control Plans for construction activities involving lane closures, road closures, detours, pedestrian and bicycle handling, work zones, and other temporary traffic operations. Plans are developed around the contractor’s proposed construction activities and applicable agency requirements.
Traffic Handling Plans: MZB develops Traffic Handling Plans to maintain safe and efficient movement of vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles, businesses, and property access through or around construction operations.
Stage Construction Plans: For projects requiring multiple construction phases, MZB develops Stage Construction Plans that coordinate construction sequencing with temporary traffic configurations, lane shifts, access requirements, and traffic handling throughout each stage of construction.
Temporary Traffic Signal Plans: MZB prepares Temporary Traffic Signal Plans to maintain safe and efficient traffic operations during construction. These plans are coordinated with temporary traffic control requirements, construction staging, and project-specific traffic conditions.
Temporary Striping Plans: MZB prepares Temporary Striping Plans for construction staging, temporary lane shifts, and interim roadway configurations. Plans identify temporary pavement markings and related traffic-control requirements necessary to accommodate each stage of construction
MZB provides engineering design, calculations, and plans for temporary construction systems required to support contractor operations. Our capabilities include excavation and slope stability analysis, shoring systems, falsework, shoring towers, formwork, temporary bracing, temporary structural and utility support, and crane lift planning. Each solution is developed for the project-specific construction sequence, site conditions, loading requirements, and contractor means and methods.
Construction Scheduling: MZB provides comprehensive construction scheduling services using Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project. Our services include baseline schedule development, schedule updates, recovery schedules, critical path analysis, and Time Impact Analysis (TIA) to support project planning, progress monitoring, and delay analysis.
Encroachment Permit Support:Â MZB assists contractors with the preparation and coordination of encroachment permit submittals for construction activities within public rights-of-way. Our team helps identify agency requirements, prepares the required engineering documents and plans, and coordinates with the appropriate jurisdiction throughout the permit review process.
Plans are prepared to applicable MUTCD requirements and the standards of the agency having jurisdiction. We review project-specific requirements early so the initial submittal reflects the applicable details, traffic restrictions, and construction needs rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all template.
