TEMPORARY TRAFFIC CONTROL PLANS

ENCO provides custom Traffic Control Plans (TCPs) for a variety of applications. 

For construction applications, our typical plans include the following, for various street/road configurations:

  • Temporary Single and Multi-Lane closures
  • Permanent Lane closures
  • Shifts
  • Diversions
  • Detours
  • Flagging Operations
  • Pedestrian and Bike traffic control

 

For Special Events applications, plans include a mixture of necessary controls to accommodate the event route, as well as additional control via the use of Off-Duty Police Officers. ENCO has engineered numerous Special Events in the Austin area, including 5K, 10K and Relay Races, Half and Full Marathons, Triathlons, Ironman, Bike races, Parades, Block Parties, etc. Now, if we had only participated in everything that we engineered, we'd be in great shape!

ENCO's team brings vast experience in traffic planning and utilizes knowledge of the governing authority's rules, regulations and requirements to expedite necessary permits. Enco is equally mindful of budget concerns. So, whether your construction project requires a simple lane closure or a complex detour, or if you are planning a Special Event, rely on ENCO to handle your traffic problems in the most efficient and effective manner.

ENCO works closely with representatives of all impacted utilities requiring coordination to determine the optimal solution to the utility placement or location problem.
