Companies section known as the squash box, and major bypass requirements,” Luis says.
“ We rehabilitated the sewer using sliplining technology with a custom fiberglass-reinforced polymer mortar pipe. We used detailed 3D sonar and laser profiling to understand the existing geometry and custom-fabricated approximately 700 individual pipe sections to navigate the alignment. The bypass operation was another major challenge. We had to maintain sewer service throughout construction, which included handling large volumes of flow.” He describes the project as“ hundreds of good decisions,” as opposed to one great idea. That’ s one of the elements he loves most about the project.
Luis adds,“ Our field leadership had to solve problems in real time, and the project management team had to coordinate with the owner, railroads, local businesses, designers, and suppliers. Our vendors had to work alongside us to engineer, manufacture,
and deliver specialized materials and equipment where needed. HOBAS USA, Xylem, RedZone Robotics, and Cell-Crete were among the manufacturers and service providers recognized as part of the project group. The award was great recognition, but to me it was really recognition of our entire California team – project management, superintendents, foremen, field crews, and everyone who supported them.”
