SCCTA Highway Construction Inspection (Routes 85, 101, 237)
Client: Santa Clara County Traffic Authority (SCCTA)
Location: Santa Clara County, CA, U.S.
Business Segment: Urban Solutions
Industry: Infrastructure
Executive Summary
The Santa Clara County Traffic Authority (SCCTA) contracted with Fluor to perform highway construction inspection for Caltrans on State Routes 85, 101 and 237. These projects involved virtually all aspects of highway construction including earthwork, erosion control, roadbed structural section, asphalt and portland cement concrete paving, median barrier development, rock slope protection, drainage structures, park-and-ride facilities, traffic signals and lighting.
Client's Challenge
Voters of Santa Clara County, California, approved a 0.5%, 10-year tax increase for highway construction within the county (Measure A). The SCCTA, created as part of Measure A, made an agreement with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to implement all project activities including environmental documentation, right-of-way acquisition, design and construction.
Fluor's Solution
In addition to ensuring that project plans and specifications were followed, we verified material quantities, checked grade and alignment, sampled and tested construction materials and prepared all documents relating to project activities. Inspectors were also responsible for monitoring conformance to state and local safety and health requirements.
Throughout our involvement, we identified actual and potential problems in the construction process and recommended sound engineering solutions.
Conclusion
Upon completion of construction, we assisted Caltrans in preparing final "as-built" plans.
