Recharge Fresno Project 

/in , , , , , , , /by

Recharge Fresno Project 

This is one of the largest public work projects City of Fresno has ever constructed with construction cost over $400 million dollars. BSK was involved in these projects for over 7 years, from design to construction.

Recharge Fresno Project Phases

The projects consisted of the Friant-Kern Canal Pipeline, a 4.5 mile long, 60-inch diameter water pipeline, which conveys surface water from the Friant-Kern Canal to the existing Northeast Surface Water Treatment Facility.

The second phase was the Kings River Pipeline where the pipeline is a 13-mile long, 72-inch diameter water pipeline. This section conveys surface water from the Kings River to the new Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility.

The third phase was the Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility. This facility treats over 54 million gallons per day of drinking water.

The fourth project was the Regional Transmissions Mains where the pipeline is a 13 miles 20-inch to 66-inch diameter pipe that conveys treated drinking water from the new Southeast Surface Water Treatment Facility to the existing smaller diameter mains.

The last project is the Recycled Water Transmissions Mains where the pipeline is a 20 miles pipeline that conveys recycled water from the Fresno-Clovis Regional Water Reclamation Facility into the City of Fresno for irrigation use and groundwater recharge.

Dalton Reservoir Project

BSK holds an on-call environmental and geotechnical and materials testing contract with the City of Livermore. Dalton Reservoir Project was one of the task orders. This project replaced an existing 2.0 million-gallon steel water reservoir with a new 3.41 million-gallon steel reservoir on a 5.7-acre site in the northeastern portion of the City of Livermore.

BSK performed soils observation and compaction testing, rebar placement inspection, concrete placement inspection, structural steel welding inspection, and coatings inspection through a subconsultant. Additionally, BSK provided inspection for more than 20,000 linear feet of welds and nearly 1.25 million pounds of steel materials.

Marsh Creek Road Bridge

/in , , , , , , , /by

Marsh Creek Road Bridge

Marsh Creek Road Bridge is located in the unincorporated area of east Contra Costa County between Clayton and Brentwood.  This $4.9 million project replaced an existing 29.5 ft. wide by 44.5 ft. long steel girder bridge with a new, wider, two‐stage precast/pre‐stressed wide‐flange California Bulb Tee girder bridge. Additionally, each bridge abutment had either wingwall or retaining walls constructed in each corner of the bridge.

The new bridge has two 12 ft. lanes and two 8 ft. shoulders. Furthermore, several Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) techniques were used in an area which had environmental restrictions. In addition, the project area had 6,000 vehicles/day traveling along Marsh Creek Road. Construction was staged in four phases.

This project was primarily funded by Federal Highway Bridge Replacement funding, Local Road funds, and SB‐1 funds. Moreover, the project was designed to Caltrans standards.

This project used high early strength concrete. In addition, concrete accelerants, and soil‐cement backfill with geogrid were used. This project further called for 22 ft temporary soil‐nail shoring walls along with a Soldier pile wall with concrete facing. Further, the project team approved two special concrete mix designs, one with higher cement content and water reducers (Delvo). The second with concrete accelerant BASF MasterSet AC 534, which was pre‐approved through Caltrans. This helped achieve over 4,200 psi concrete in 3 days.

BSK Associates

BSK acted as a subconsultant to Substrate, Inc., and under Hill International’s direction. Moreover, BSK’s role in the project was to support source inspection of six – 88’ 3” long girders at Confab LLC in Lathrop. Additionally we provided Quality Assurance materials testing/special inspection of structural backfill, and aggregate base; as well as, hot mix asphalt and structural concrete construction elements.

This project was an awardee of the American Public Works Association for Project of the Year in 2018. BSK Associates is proud to have been a part of such an amazing project!
