LAX Second Level Roadway


project demanded innovative and unique solutions at every juncture. Te Myers-Banicki JV team


led a dynamic preconstruction and construction phase effort to manage a complex scope of heavy civil engineering, roadway and structural concrete and bridge reconstruction, high voltage electrical, roadway signal- ization, vertical building construction and specialty concrete paving work. Tey worked closely with dozens of LAX tenants, federal, city and state agencies, consultants and contractors to manage the impacts of construction on the 80 million yearly passengers and 240,000 daily vehicles that pass by or through the project. Early on, the team tackled the


challenge of work access and bridge jacking options. Tey created a detailed analysis of the existing proposed formwork to determine impacts to people and vehicles and worked to identify, develop and vet engineered methodologies to reduce or eliminate the substantial formwork needed. Looking to “build a better mousetrap,” the team devised a solution utilizing an “inline hinge support method” in lieu of traditional “lift from below” falsework applications. Tis delivered a significant positive safety impact on the project. Te Myers-Banicki team tapped


the collaborative advantages of the CM at Risk delivery method to create

sustainable partner- ships, to meet delivery benchmarks


on the 3+ year schedule, and ultimately, to fulfill the vision and intent of the client on a highly challenging project. Also selected as finalists in this category

Meeting the Challenge of the Difficult Job – Projects $10 Million or Below Constructor Winner: Shimmick


Construction Company, Inc. for “Quint Street Bridge Replacement” – San Francisco Removing and replacing a


100-year-old bridge structure within a busy city environment with minimal impacts to commuters was no small feat for Shimmick Construction Co., which successfully completed the $4.5 million Quint Street Bridge Replacement project in San Francisco for Caltrain. Located


in the city’s Bayview


neighborhood, Quint Street Bridge serves as a vital piece of Caltrain’s infrastructure, accommodating over 15,000 passengers per week. Origi- nally constructed in 1907, the Bridge had become structurally deficient and extremely deteriorated. Shimmick performed the replacement work in two phases – one prior to removal of the structure, and the second during an extended rail outage. Te project required Shimmick


to remove and replace the century old, 330-foot-long, 10-span steel and concrete bridge structure with an earthen berm over 18 feet high and 13,000 cubic yards in volume. An approach span at the adjacent Jerrold Avenue Bridge was also removed and replaced with an embankment. Shimmick performed all work with minimal impact to Caltrain’s commuter operations, employing only one 31-hour full rail outage during the
