Portland, Maine
Louis Berger Company The Louis Berger Group Client Maine Department of Transportation/Cianbro Corporation

Louis Berger is serving as lead construction engineer for the largest self-anchored suspension bridge in the world: the $1.4 billion San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. The 700-meter-long deck system will consist of twin steel orthotropic box girders. Construction requires the design of twin temporary steel trusses to support the box girders during deck erection until loads are transferred to the suspension cables. A 165-meter-high temporary steel erection tower was designed to erect the single permanent steel suspension tower in four separate lifts. The temporary trusses are supported by seven steel frame towers, which were designed as state-of-the-art eccentrically braced frames using steel box sections. The falsework will be in service for a period of three to four years, a relatively long time for temporary structures. Given the seismic risks in the Oakland Bay area, the falsework was designed for substantial seismic and vessel impact loading. Foundations for the towers were designed in variable ground conditions. Foundation types included micropile foundations on bedrock, cast-in-drilled hole concrete caissons and deep-driven steel piles in soft marine clays in 25-meter-deep deep water. Fast-track design and construction was required to meet an aggressive schedule. Under a separate contract, Louis Berger is also providing the camber calculations for the bridge deck and developing the complex geometries for the main cables and suspenders during each step of the erection.

Louis Berger served as the lead design consultant to Cianbro Corporation for the Interstate 295 Commercial Street Connector project for the Maine Department of Transportation. The $23 million project included the design and construction of 1.8 miles of new and reconstructed roadways, three traffic signals, a multi-use trail traversing the project and three new bridges. It also included the rehabilitation of an existing concrete arch bridge over existing railroads and a stormwater treatment area. The Team assisted during the extensive public participation/partnering sessions and provided quality assurance management of the projects design and construction. Louis Berger prepared designs for three bridges, including a 106-foot bridge and a 127-foot bridge, each with steel girder and cast-in-place deck superstructures on pile-supported integral abutments, as well as a four-span, 380-foot steel girder bridge with cast-in-place deck superstructure on pipe piles supported by mechanically stabilized earth-wrapped abutments. The Team was also responsible for providing pre-construction monitoring and preparing designs for a wetland creation site to offset unavoidable wetland impacts from roadway construction. This fast-track project, which was designed in 12 months, was recognized with a Build Maine Award as well as an American Council of Engineering Companies of New Hampshire National Engineering Excellence Award.

Louis Berger was selected by the Rapid Transit Project Office to provide designs and construction supervision services for the $20 million, 600-meter-long New Westminster Tunnel, an important component of the 21-kilometer-long Millennium Line extension to Vancouvers SkyTrain rapid transit system. During the preliminary design process, the Team examined the viability of both bored tunneling and cut-and-cover techniques. Factors such as project schedule, length of tunnel, tight site access and capital costs encouraged the use of cut-and-cover techniques for construction. During the designbuild phase, Louis Berger prepared designs for all civil, structural, geotechnical, ventilation, mechanical and electrical components of the work. Alignment and structural optimization minimized the major material quantities, allowing significant capital cost savings. The Team utilized state-of-the-art dynamic analyses to evaluate seismic performance for all major structures. The twin-box tunnel was also assessed for flotation due to the high groundwater conditions. Computer fluid modeling of the proposed ventilation system evaluated airflow under normal and emergency conditions as required to ensure safe egress under emergency conditions.

Louis Berger, in association with Pan Arab Consulting Engineers, was retained by Kuwaits Ministry of Public Works to manage the design and construction of the ambitious $2 billion Jamal Abdul Nasser Street and Jahra Road Upgrade Project in Kuwait City. The Teams initial duties included conducting topographic and soil investigations and analyzing existing and future traffic demand. Louis Berger then prepared designs for improvements to the 26 kilometers of existing roads and 27 kilometers of access roads, including dual expressways with up to seven lanes in each direction, grade-separated interchanges, viaducts, underpasses, bridges, utility diversions, drainage and other related works. The assignment also included preparing comprehensive traffic maintenance plans, cost estimates and construction schedules.

Louis Berger and Intercoastal Marine, Inc. were commissioned by the Panama Ports Company to upgrade the existing container crane operations at Berth 15, a 275-meterlong wharf at the Port of Balboa. The 70- to 100-year-old structure was converted to a marginal wharf and subsequently modified and strengthened to support three 15.24-meter gantry cranes. All existing foundation elements (large concrete shafts and full-width bridge pier walls) were used with minimal demolition. The existing structure had three distinct deck framing systems. The western end had steel-wide flanged beams as pile caps, while the eastern end had cast-inplace concrete beams and pile caps. Precast, prestressed concrete crane beams were designed to support the new crane loads for these end regions. Significant improvements were needed at the existing steel and concrete framing to transfer the crane and deck loads to the existing concrete shafts. The mid region employed simple-span steel plate girders spanning 27 meters between concrete pier walls. The new crane loads were supported by integrating the existing girders with a reinforced concrete in-fill and installing intermediate (precast concrete) pile bents to reduce the long spans. All three regions of the deck were made continuous through a reinforced concrete deck topping.

Berth 15 is a 275-meter-long wharf owned and operated by the Panama Ports Company (PPC). In 2004, the design-build team of Intercoastal Marine, Inc. and BergerABAM was engaged by PPC to upgrade the berth for container crane operations. The existing 70- to 100-year-old structure was converted to a marginal wharf and was modified and strengthened to support three 15.24-meter gantry cranes. All existing foundation elements (large concrete shafts and full-width bridge pier walls) were used with minimal demolition. The existing structure had three distinct deck framing systems. The western end had steelwide flanged beams as pile caps, while the eastern end had cast-in-place concrete beams and pile caps. Precast, prestressed concrete crane beams were designed to support the new crane loads for these end regions. Significant improvements were needed at the existing steel and concrete framing to transfer the crane and deck loads to the existing concrete shafts. The mid region employed simple-span steel plate girders spanning 27 meters between concrete pier walls. The new crane loads were supported by integrating the existing girders with a reinforced concrete in-fill and installing intermediate (precast concrete) pile bents to reduce the long spans. All three regions of the deck were made continuous through a reinforced concrete deck topping. A new steel sheet pile-supported bulkhead was designed and installed on the landside to enhance global slope stability and serve as support for widening the wharf and connect to the landside for the full length. A steel H-pile and sheet pile toe wall system, installed at the wharf face, allowed the berth to be deepened.

This $1.4 billion design-build / P3 project consisted of 55 miles of four-lane roadway on new location in Suffolk, Prince George, Sussex, Isle of Wight, and South Hampton in Virginia. The tender phase of services for design-build provided roughly 25% plans as a shortlisted team competing against three other shortlisted teams. Multi-Modal Solutions (MMS), acting as the lead contractor, chose LBG as the primary design firm for the design-build pursuit and included sub-consultants under LBGs direct supervision. The proposed design featured a roadway corridor that was contained within the FEMA boundary and included facets of bridge, road, ITS tolling, drainage, FEMA floodplain, stormwater management, and erosion and sediment control. While this design-build project delivery allowed the contractor greater flexibility for innovation, the design team also attempted to alleviate risks due to the unknown constraints of many design features. From the onset of the design-build process, earthwork in conjunction with stormwater management labeled as a risk to the design-build team. LBG formulated an innovative stormwater plan that worked in unison with the roadway design and geotechnical constraints in an attempt to balance earthwork along the project while meeting the current stormwater management regulations as well as any future improvements.

Everett, Washington
Louis Berger Company BergerABAM Client Washington State Department of Transportation

Piscataquis River Bridge Replacement Project

Howland, Maine
Louis Berger Company The Louis Berger Group Client Cianbro Construction Corporation

Washington State has invested more than 1.5 billion of state and federal dollars in freeway high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes and ramps over the past 40 years. These special purpose lanes form a crucial part of the central Puget Sound areas highway system. Approximately 310 lane-miles of a planned 320-mile freeway system have been built including the Interstate 5, State Route 526 to U.S. 2 lanes. To help eliminate sudden lane changes and improve a major traffic chokepoint on this stretch of highway, BergerABAM teamed with the Atkinson-CH2M HILL joint venture design-build team to widen the northbound and southbound freeway lanes for the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). The project included 10 miles of new HOV lanes on I-5, as well as the widening of two bridges. BergerABAM also provided the designs for construction of the bridge widenings. The widenings increased the roadway deck width of the bridges by 28.0 feet from 48.0 feet to 76.0 feet. The East Bridge is 966 feet long and comprised of nine spans; the West Bridge is 883 feet long and comprised of eight spans. Recognized nationally as experts in earthquake engineering, BergerABAM engineers devised a motion stabilizing solution that was readily approved by WSDOT. A unique link slab design was incorporated into the two bridges to limit the effects of differential motion between the existing and new single-column piers during a seismic event. This special earthquake resisting system reduced the contractors cost to build the bridges as part of this $160 million project.

LBG is the lead design firm on the Howland Piscataquis River Bridge Replacement. This $11 million project carries U.S. Route 116 (Coffin Street) over the Piscataquis River. The project design includes replacement of the existing three-span steel truss bridge with a new three-span, 582-foot long, haunched steel girder bridge to improve flood conditions, aesthetics and maintainability, and includes retaining walls along the approach to minimize right-of-way impacts. The replacement bridge is designed using AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification (2007 with interim revisions to 2009). Foundation design includes two mass piers situated in the Piscataquis River and designed for severe ice flow and hydraulic conditions including scour and extreme flood conditions. Construction of the piers will require cofferdams and seals placed on bedrock in the river. An extensive hydraulics analysis was conducted to provide the most cost-effective design while still meeting the hydraulic design requirements. Due to the present configuration of the river and operation of the downstream dam, ten hydraulic models were considered to determine the most severe flood and scour conditions at the bridge. LBGs geotechnical engineers coordinated closely with the civil and hydraulic engineers to determine an optimal solution for scour protection and support of the piers and abutments. The analysis is complicated by the presence of a dam with removable f1ashboards only 200 feet downstream of the proposed bridge. Approximately 1,900 feet of roadway approach work is also required. The relocation of public (water and sewer) and private (cable, phone, and electric) utilities are necessary. The project entails close coordination with stakeholders, including MaineDOT and a Public Advisory Committee.

State Route 520 Floating Bridge and Approaches

Seattle, Washington
Louis Berger Company BergerABAM Client Washington State Department of Transportation

IH 35E Managed Lanes Project (Tender Phase)

Dallas, Texas
Louis Berger Company The Louis Berger Group Client Texas Department of Transportation

At 7,578 feet long, the State Route 520 Floating Bridge in Seattle, Washington, is the longest floating bridge in the world. The nearly 50-year-old structure is a critical link in the state, carrying approximately 115,000 vehicles and more than 190,000 people across Lake Washington daily. Given that the existing four-lane bridge is vulnerable to congestion, as well as windstorms and earthquakes, WSDOT recently initiated a project to replace the structure. BergerABAM, as part of the Kiewit-General-Manson joint venture, is serving as co-lead designer for the replacement project. BergerABAM is responsible for the design of the floating bridge superstructure, pontoon interfaces, floating bridge anchors, transition spans, Pier 36 (the westernmost pier), the east approach bridge, roadway tie-ins, and maintenance facility and maintenance pier. The Team was also tasked to implement intelligent transportation systems, electronic tolling, and other electrical and mechanical systems. The replacement bridge, which is expected to be completed by late 2014, will feature six lanes, including two general-purpose lanes and one high-occupancy-vehicle lane in each direction, and a bicycle/pedestrian path on the north side. The structure was also designed for the future addition of one lane of high-capacity light rail transit in each direction. The completed floating bridge will significantly reduce travel times between Seattle and several communities to the east along State Route 520, as well as improve safety, as the structure will be resistant to winds of up to 89 miles per hour.

For the IH 35E Managed Lanes Project, LBG was responsible for providing design and engineering services to the contractor, IH 35E Infrastructure, as part of a shortlisted team for this design-build technical proposal submission. The project consisted of general improvements along 28 miles of the IH 35E Corridor from IH 635 to US 380. The construction cost for the project is estimated at $850 million. LBG was responsible for the preliminary tender design of the northern 10 mile segment from FM 1218 to U.S. 380. The proposed improvements in the northern segment included construction of two reversible managed lanes along the centerline of the freeway, reconfigure and widening of general purpose lanes to accommodate the managed lane and the addition of a general purpose lane in each direction, reconstruction and rehabilitation of general purpose lanes and frontage roads to accommodate new exit/entrance ramps and auxiliary lanes, reconstruction of the Corinth Parkway Post Oak Drive, McCormick and North Texas Boulevard interchanges and rehabilitation of 13 existing bridges to be reused or widened. LBG work included preliminary design for roadway improvements, on-site and off-site drainage systems, bridges, retaining walls, signing, striping, ITS, construction staging, constructability evaluations and quantity take-offs.
