Area Services Highway SR195, Phase I & Phase II

Area Services Highway SR195, Phase I & II | Yuma, AZ

The SR195 highway project connected State Route 195 and US Highway 95, creating a new interstate corridor designed to improve transportation in Yuma, AZ. GTS partnered with contractors and design teams to deliver geotechnical investigations, materials testing, and pavement design support for both Phase I and Phase II of the project.

Project Scope & Geotechnical Needs

The project involved:

  • Construction of a new interstate alignment
  • Subgrade preparation and stabilization
  • Placement of aggregate base layers
  • New asphalt pavement installation
  • Overpass construction and structural support

Our role was to ensure that soil conditions, materials, and construction processes met ADOT, ASTM, and AASHTO standards, providing a reliable foundation for this critical transportation corridor.

Laboratory Testing & Verification

GTS conducted extensive construction materials testing on soils, aggregates, and asphalt mixtures. Our services included:

  • Soil classification and compaction testing to verify subgrade stability
  • Aggregate gradation and quality control to confirm compliance with project specifications
  • Asphalt mix design and verification testing to ensure pavement performance under high traffic loads
  • Concrete testing for overpass structures, including compressive strength and durability evaluations

By combining laboratory testing with field verification, we delivered accurate data to guide the project’s construction phases.

Engineering Services & Deliverables

Our engineering services went beyond testing, providing actionable recommendations for contractors and ADOT representatives. Deliverables included:

  • Detailed reports documenting soil and aggregate properties
  • Asphalt and concrete mix design verification studies
  • Recommendations for compaction requirements and water-cement ratios
  • Inspection support for overpass construction and pavement placement

These studies provided contractors and engineers with the data needed to build a safe, compliant, and long-lasting roadway.

Project Outcome

The SR195 Phase I & II project was successfully completed, delivering a new interstate connection between SR195 and US 95. With GTS’s support in geotechnical engineering and materials testing, the project achieved:

  • A durable pavement system designed for Arizona’s climate and traffic demands
  • Stable overpass structures meeting state and federal standards
  • Verified materials compliance through rigorous testing and inspection

This project demonstrates GTS’s ability to provide high-quality engineering services across Arizona, supporting transportation infrastructure with precision and reliability.
