The National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is the primary scientific computing facility for the Office of Science in the U.S. Department of Energy and a division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). JMA is leading the site civil design for the NERSC improvements at LBNL which includes site grading and drainage design and utility design to support a new state-of-the-art heat exchanger and switchgear structures. The structures are both located on undeveloped slopes with challenging infiltration and stability constraints. JMA is collaborating closely with LBNL and structural engineer in value engineering to optimize earthwork volumes. Additionally, JMA is leading the design for two hydromodification tanks to mitigate increased runoff from the new development. Final design was completed in 2024 and the project is currently in construction.
