BART Traction Power Facilities Modernization

JMA was the Civil Design Lead for the site civil plans and details of 5 traction power substations and gap breaker facilities, including the Walnut Creek station facility (CWC), Daly City substation (MDC), Oakland West substation (KOW) and KXA and KYD gap breakers.  The JMA team completed site civil designs, managed the utility potholing and surveying efforts of others, prepared the traffic maintenance plans, and coordinated with the local municipalities for City review and approvals. Additionally, JMA provided design support during construction.

At the Walnut Creek station facility (CWC), JMA completed the final site civil design for a substantial upgrade of site utilities.  JMA’s scope included: site grading and drainage, truck and emergency vehicle access, relocation of existing wet and dry utilities, coordination of construction phasing with adjacent passenger station operations and new TOD, and coordination of a PG&E new service feed.
