The Port of Miami is home to one of the world’s largest cruise ports and is a major cargo port in the United States. The port is located on Dodge Island, just off the coast of downtown Miami. The Port Boulevard Bridge, currently the sole access point to the port, has experienced significant vehicle traffic in recent years due to the growth of Miami’s cargo and tourism trades. The Port of Miami Tunnel Project was the culmination of a study performed by the Florida Department of Transportation, determining that a second point of entry to the port was necessary to help alleviate congestion on the Port Boulevard Bridge. The Tunnel project links the Port of Miami with the adjacent Interstate system, improving the passenger and cargo movement to and from the Port.

The Port of Miami Tunnel Project consists of three components: a Tunnel connection between Watson Island and Port of Miami; connections to the Port of Miami roadway system; and widening of the MacArthur Causeway bridge.

The tunnel structure is 3,900 feet in length and is composed of two tunnels, each containing two traffic lanes, curbs, walkways, ventilation fans and additional safety features. Each will be 36 feet in diameter and will connect Watson Island and the Port of Miami beneath the main shipping channel in the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, moving traffic to and from the Port. The bottom of the tunnels will be approximately 100 feet below the surface at their deepest point and will be constructed utilizing a Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM). For both travel directions, the roadway ramp connector alignments will descend into a depressed U-wall section and will continue to cut-and-cover sections at the tunnel entry portals and progress into separate tunnel bores beneath the main shipping channel.

The firm served the Florida Department of Transportation as a member of a technical advisory team that supported the agency in its efforts to procure a Concession Agreement with a concessionaire to design, construct, finance, and operate and maintain the facility over an extended period of time.

Some of the firm’s responsibilities included analysis and compliance with structural engineering, life safety requirements and environmental review/compliance.

CITY OF ROCHESTER PARKING GARAGE EVALUATION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMR O C H E S T E R , N E W Y O R K

T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) was awarded a 5-year contract with the City of Rochester to evaluate and develop maintenance programs for eight City-owned parking structures. All of the structures are between 15 and 40 years old and most are cast-in-place, post-tensioned structures.

The scope of work for this project focused on annual inspections, development of a base-line rating system, condition reports, and preparation of an annual repair contract. A special emphasis was placed on structural and waterproofing systems. All of the building systems within each garage were visually inspected, including building envelope, elevator shafts, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, security, and revenue control systems. TYLI also proceeded with a strategic deck evaluation program, consisting of a chloride ion content analysis to determine the locations that would benefit most from a sealer or waterproofing membrane.

TYLI utilized the inspection and chloride content data along with life-cycle analyses to develop maintenance plans for each structure, separating immediate needs and preventative maintenance from long-term capital improvements. A prime example of this program’s success was the development of a creative and unique solution to the ongoing deterioration of the deck post-tensioning at the South Avenue Garage. TYLI developed an approach of installing supplemental post-tensioning and deck protection with the goal of providing a long-term solution that is easily constructible, minimally disruptive, and extends the useful life of the garage through the introduction of a redundant system.

In the final year of the contract, TYLI also designed elevator modernizations and replacements at four of the garages.

Work orders were developed as part of the program, for those items that could be addressed by City Building Services, Municipal Parking, or the garage operators. TYLI also assisted the City in preparing capital improvement budget requests and developing a yearly maintenance repair contract with a value in the $800,000 to $2,400,000 range. TYLI also provided construction administration and inspections for annual maintenance contract.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS• Term contract• Developed maintenance programs• Visual inspections

T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to provide Phase I and II engineering services for the construction of a new I-57 Interchange at I-294 (Tri-State Tollway) in Cook County, Illinois, one of two places in the United States where Interstate highways crossed with no interchange. The Phase I work was processed utilizing an accelerated schedule with design approval received one year after notice-to-proceed.Phase I work was also required along 147th Street to address potential capacity issues from proposed interchanges, correct existing roadway deficiencies and other safety issues. The intent of the Phase I work was to investigate the project area, conduct studies and make recommendations to enable preparation of a summarizing Combined Design Report with Structure Type, Size and Location drawings to enable approval by the reviewing agencies. Documentation of additional Environmental Assessment (EA) factors not identified in previous studies was also provided. The Phase I work included appropriate studies and definition of the following items to be designed in Phase II:

• Geometry of multiple new ramp and flyover bridges at the I-57/I-294 Interchange

• Replacement of bridges at the I-57/147th Street and I-294/147th Street Interchanges

• Bridge inspection and condition reports for structures to be rehabilitated and modified to accommodate new/revised geometrics

• Work on numerous other bridges including their removal and replacement, rehabilitation, and widening to be defined

• Multiple retaining walls• Extensions and/or replacements of existing box culverts and

new box culverts

• Conceptual signage • Pavement marking types• Traffic signals as part of the Intersection Design Studies• Determination of lighting type/concept• Detention pond analysis and locations• Floodway and floodway impacts and analysis• Project phasing, staged construction, and financial

constraints and implications• Safety improvements identified as part of the overall project

crash analysis

Subsequent to the receipt of Design Approval, an initial Value Engineering Study was performed by an outside firm. Additional detailed geometric analysis resulted in changes to the ramp configuration, a reduction in overall ROW requirements and a $20 million savings in construction. Phase II consisted of preparing construction documents including plans, specifications, cost estimates and related contract materials. It was anticipated the full build-out of the defined interchange improvements would take place over an extended time frame based on available IDOT, Illinois Tollway and/or Federal funds and on the ability to acquire the necessary right-of-way. Multiple sets of staged construction plans were prepared, providing for the logical, sequential construction of roadway segments as defined in Phase I. Multiple Stakeholder CollaborationThe design portion of the project presented a large amount of complex design issues along with coordination with the local agencies. Roadways within the project limits were under the jurisdiction of several agencies, including Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois Tollway, Cook County Highway Department, and various local municipalities with oversight by the Federal Highway Administration.ComplexitiesEach plan set needed to be designed as a ‘stand alone’ set that could be won by a separate contractor while also allowing enough flexibility for multiple contractors to work on adjacent segments. The design components were planned so that they could be sequentially placed in operation, including overlapping Maintenance of Traffic on two major interstate highways.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS• Collaborative effort with Tollway and IDOT • Met both agencies’ requirements for bid packaging/phasing• Met all schedules, despite their fast-tracked nature• Phasing Plan, Financial Plan, Project Management Plan

The project included the widening of the 20-mile freeway, from California State Route (SR) 78 in Escondido to SR 163 in San Diego to accommodate the addition of reversible High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes in the median of the freeway. The express lanes provide connectivity to four adjacent transit centers with park-and-ride facilities via direct access ramps (DAR). The DARs allow buses, carpoolers, vanpoolers, and FasTrak (California’s electronic collection system) users to access the express lanes, bypassing general congestion on the on-ramps. In mid-2014, new BRT began operations along I-15 using the express lanes and DARs. New BRT services include all-day, all-stops, bi-directional freeway service; an all-day, limited stop, bi-directional service; and two peak periods, peak-direction-only Commuter Express services.

The San Diego-bound services allow passengers to connect to the local BRT services. The entire system is controlled by a sophisticated Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) infrastructure that includes variable pricing to help control congestion. The project required existing bridges (undercrossings and overcrossings) to be widened or replaced with special retaining walls and drainage design in order to accommodate the new DARs and express lanes. TYLI worked on an accelerated schedule for all segments of the project providing design and other support services as the prime consultant to Caltrans District 11, Caltrans Office of Special Funded Projects, and Caltrans Structures Design.

TYLI was also a subconsultant on other teams, leading to the completion of plans, specification, and estimates (PS&E) for construction bids. TYLI’s work was performed at Hale Avenue Undercrossing, W. Mission Avenue Undercrossing, Mercy Road Undercrossing, Los Peñasquitos Creek Bridge, Pomerado Tieback Retaining Wall, and Pomerado Road Overcrossing. TYLI staff served as the overall Project Manager for the consultant teams on the South Segment and as the Structures Lead for several Units within the North and South Segments.

Through task orders on its $25M on-call contract with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) is providing Project Management Consultant (PMC) services and design reviews for the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project, a SANDAG TransNet Early Action Project. TYLI is also serving as Procurement Advisor for the CM/GC which includes preparation of the procurement documents.

With this project, the San Diego Trolley system service would be extended approximately 11 miles, adding eight stations (with an option for a ninth station). The project includes over six miles of on-grade alignment and four miles of elevated guideway with significant structures (walls, bridges and a cut and over tunnel). Several new traction power substations (TPSS’s) will be needed along the new double track alignment as well as systems and TPSS upgrades or replacements along 3.5 miles of existing double track which is also part of this project. The alignment crosses over Interstate 8, Interstate 5 (twice), under State Route 52, as well as crossing several local streets, the San Diego River, Tecolote Creek, and Rose Creek.

For much of its length, the new LRT alignment (on exclusive new double track) would share the busy San Diego Northern Railway (SDNR) railroad corridor right-of-way (ROW) owned by MTS which is also occupied by the COASTER commuter rail, Amtrak Intercity Rail, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) freight rail.

Challenges include significant utilities throughout the corridor; ROW sharing amongst railroad, highway, and city streets; coordinating with major capital projects planned or underway along the corridor including the I-5 North Coast freeway improvements; and issues associated with sensitive areas, such as the San Diego River and Tecolote and Rose Creeks.

TYLI, along with its subconsultant, InfraConsult, LLC, is providing PMC support services to assist SANDAG during the Preliminary Engineering and Environmental Review/Clearance Phase of the Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project serving as an extension of SANDAG staff. These services include, but are not limited to, project administration and control, review of advanced conceptual engineering submittals in support of the environmental document and cost estimates, review of environmental submittals, project management and technical assistance, coordination of activities, third party agreements, analyses of alternative delivery methods for the project, and assisting with New Start submittals and other submittals with the Federal Transit Authority (FTA) and FTA’s Program Management Oversight Consultant (PMOC).

The Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA), in cooperation with Caltrans District 4, the City of Pittsburg, and the City of Antioch, is the lead agency conducting this project that proposes to widen 6 miles of State Route 4 (SR4) from four lanes to eight lanes beginning at Loveridge Road and terminating at SR160. The eight lanes will consist of one high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane and three mixed flow lanes in each direction. Auxiliary lanes will also be added between interchanges. Multi-modal options such as the addition of mass transit in the median are included as well. TYLI is the Prime Consultant for Segment 3 which accounts for $150 million of this $340 million corridor improvement project. TYLI is responsible for project management, environmental coordination, community outreach, design development, agency coordination and interface, utility coordination and relocation, and ROW engineering and acquisition support. Significant coordination has taken place with the various agencies and the other consulting firms preparing the improvement plan packages for prior segments. Segment 3 is funded by the Contra Costa County half-cent transportation sales tax (Measure J) funds, Bridge Toll funds, and BART (RM2) funds. Segment 3 is divided into two separate projects (3A and 3B) that consist of 3 miles of improvements from 0.3 mile west of the “A” Street Undercrossing to 1.8 miles east of the Hillcrest Avenue Overcrossing. Segment 3A includes mainline and interchange work from the western project limit to just west of Hillcrest Avenue. Local street and utility (sewer and water) improvements are also included. Construction is scheduled to commence in the summer of 2012 for an estimate of 660 working days. Segment 3B is currently in final design and begins just west of the Hillcrest Avenue Interchange and extends to the eastern project limit terminating at the SR4/SR160 Junction. Construction for Segment 3B is scheduled to commence in the winter of 2012 for an estimate of 675 working days.The project consists of developing the final PS&E. As part of the project, the design will provide for the widening of the overcrossing at Hillcrest Avenue and the replacement of SR4 undercrossings at “A” Street and Cavallo Road, and the Roosevelt Lane pedestrian undercrossing. The underpasses for eBART will also be designed at “A” Street and Cavallo Road. Twenty-two retaining walls and 15 sound walls are being designed for this project. The mainline vertical alignment will generally follow the existing profile, except near the eBART station area where the profile rises to a maximum of 9 feet. Stage construction challenges for the construction of these structures include:• Constructing the Hillcrest Avenue OC widenings by temporarily lowering SR4 by 15-inches to avoid nonstandard falsework vertical

clearance on SR4 during construction.• Constructing a median crossover and a portion of the eastbound “A” Street UC to allow westbound traffic to be shifted to newly

constructed eastbound lanes to permit westbound lanes and westbound “A” Street UC to be constructed without interruption.• Constructing a median crossover and a portion of the westbound Cavallo Road UC to allow eastbound traffic to be shifted to newly

constructed westbound lanes to permit eastbound lanes and eastbound “A” Street UC to be constructed without interruption• Using cut and cover method to construct the Roosevelt Lane PUC while maintaining four lanes of traffic on the mainline at all timesTYLI’s work also included planning and design for new traffic signals, signal modifications, temporary signals, emergency vehicle preemption, portable changeable message signs, traffic operation system (including traffic management stations, closed circuit television cameras, ramp metering, wireless magnetometer vehicle detection systems, extinguishable message sign, fiber-optic conduit, vehicle detection systems), street and safety lighting, and pedestrian undercrossing lighting. The signals at the two ramp intersections for the diamond interchange at the “A” Street Undercrossing were designed to Caltrans specifications to replace the two existing signals due to the widening of “A” Street and the ramps. Two new Model 2070 L NEMA Controllers replaced the single Model 170 E Controller. The design of temporary spanwire signals for six construction stages presented a challenging task. The temporary spanwire signals for Stage 1 had to be designed in a way that modifications for the later stages could be minimized.

The remaining locations came under the City of Antioch review process. North of the “A” Street UC, a new signal was designed for the “A” Street / Rossi Avenue intersection to replace the 2-way stop signs. Due to the widening and improvements on Lone Tree Way south of the “A” Street UC, signal modifications were designed for the East Tregallas Road and West Tregallas Road intersections. The impact at the East Tregallas Road intersection was significantly more than at the West Tregallas Road intersection and was reflected in the signal modifications that were required.

The ability to maintain user requirements while responding to unique project conditions or community needs The project needed to effectively blend Caltrans and the affected cities requirements and design standards since the project crosses three jurisdictional boundaries. TYLI was successful in preparing a PS&E package that incorporated both Caltrans and the affected cities standards to their satisfaction while maintaining the project schedule, scope, and budget.TYLI developed stage construction plans that maintained pedestrian safety ensuring that the construction of sidewalks on both sides of the street was not done simultaneously. Mainline stage construction was developed to ensure that two lanes of traffic remained opened at all times during construction to minimize traffic interruptions.

Working with public and regulatory agencies The project involved extensive coordination and interface with public agencies. TYLI worked closely with CCTA, Caltrans District 4, Caltrans Headquarters, Caltrans District 59, City of Antioch (COA), and the Delta Diablo Sanitary District (DDSD) to deliver various components of the project. TYLI coordinated with Caltrans Districts 4 and 59 to obtain project approvals (i.e., Project Report, Environmental Clearance, Geometric Approval, Design Exceptions, Life Cycle Cost Analysis, Right- of-Way Certification). Additionally, coordination with Caltrans Headquarters successfully resulted in the project Ready To List (RTL) on February 27. TYLI coordinated with COA and DDSD to obtain design approval of various water and sewer facilities affected by the proposed project.

Success in keeping to budget and controlling costs, and success in meeting time schedule and scope • TYLI successfully controlled the budget and cost and met schedule and scope requirements through an accelerated design schedule,

value engineering strategies, and risk identification and management. • TYLI accelerated CCTA’s design schedule to meet anticipated funding through the CMIA Proposition 1B bond sales and expedited

design milestones through Caltrans District 4 and the local agencies. • TYLI staff used value engineering strategies to significantly reduce construction cost estimates at each design milestone; i.e., 35%,

65%. These “cost containment” efforts and TYLI’s experience in containing utility relocation costs underscore our capabilities in developing realistic project cost estimates and identifying cost-savings measures.

• TYLI staff provided strategic decision-making assistance to the CCTA for risk identification and management for all phases of the Caltrans project development process allowing us to meet all schedule and process milestones.

• TYLI identified project design challenges along with solutions that were beyond the original scope and budget in order to manage the control of “scope creep,” cost overruns, and schedule delays.

Approach to project management TYLI’s approach to project management on the SR4 project included leading the project development team to ensure timely resolution of issues. Specific project management components were continuous and early engagement of all project stakeholders ensuring consensus; reaching agreement on decisions in order to maintain the project schedule; project controls such as quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC); project invoicing; monthly project summary reports and schedule updates; and development and implementation of a QA/QC Plan, Risk Management Plan and Communication Plan. TYLI’s approach emphasized proactive client communication, team management for resource allocation and task progress, and coordination with involved agencies and other subconsultants.Approach to QA/QC TYLI prepared and is implementing detailed QA/QC plans specific to each of the two segments. TYLI’s QA/QC plans for the SR 4 widening project includes established independent design checks at 35%, 65%, 100% and Final PS&E milestones. TYLI has also conducted internal constructability reviews, with additional staff specifically assigned to this task, as well as coordinated constructability reviews with Caltrans, CCTA, and the adjacent two segments on SR 4 ensuring uniformity among all design teams. The TYLI Project Manager and QA Manager were responsible for assuring that quality control measures and quality assurance measures were

TYLI’s Oregon operations Scheduling Group was selected to serve as a consultant to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) for the OR 43: Willamette River Bridge project. This complex bridge rehabilitation was experiencing numerous changes resulting from unforeseen field conditions. With eight months remaining before the opening to traffic date of October 15, 2012, T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) was added to the project team as scheduling specialists.

TYLI expanded upon Wildish Standard Paving Co.’s (WSTP) detailed construction schedule to include upcoming changes to the scope of work and provide continuous assessment of progress. To complete these tasks, TYLI converted the project schedule from MS Project to Primavera P6 in order to utilize the software’s advanced capabilities. Further, TYLI and ODOT set up protocols to capture tasks’ start/finish dates, percent completes and other relevant data in order to provide weekly schedule status updates.

When the scheduling team came on board the CPM had not been adequately maintained an over 30 Change Orders had not been accounted for in routine updates. TYLI performed a forensic CPM Schedule evaluation, incorporated Change Orders, and provided recommendations to the client and their construction contractor to meet established contract completion dates. TYLI worked closely with ODOT, the engineer of record, and the contractor to develop “what-if” schedule scenarios and recommended action plans to keep the project on schedule.

The project schedule began to show significant delays of up to 6 months with respect to a critical opening date. TYLI’s schedule team worked with the construction contractor and ODOT to evaluate the current status of the project and identify key activities that, once completed, would get the project on track to meet the critical opening date. Our scheduling team’s effort, along with the construction contractor dedication to the successful delivery of the project, and ODOT’s cooperation, resulted in opening the project six days ahead of schedule. TYLI facilitated a collaborative effort with ODOT and WSTP to augment the existing project schedule in identifying the critical remaining activities impacting the bridge opening. The team approach was crucial as it relied heavily on WSTP’s expertise in planning and construction techniques. WSTP’s involvement allowed ODOT to provide critical feedback, thereby allowing TYLI to develop frequent schedule modifications. The collaborative effort allowed the combined management team to uncover enhanced timeframes, logic ties, and establish resource loading needed to meet the milestones. TYLI utilized live work sessions with Primavera P6 to make changes on the fly and review the results in real-time.

“The project is complex both in the nature of the work and in the inter-relationships of the parties needed to accomplish it. TYLI has provided skilled and experienced scheduling personnel…have been cooperative in working with all of the parties involved…has made a significant contribution to what is going to be a successful project.” - Wayne Statler, PE, PMP, ODOT, OR 43: Willamette River Bridge (Oregon City) PM

T.Y. Lin International was retained by the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) to provide Technical Review Services for the procurement, design and construction of a replacement bridge to cross the Indian River Inlet.

The current Indian River Inlet Bridge on SR 1 provides a critical link on the Eastern seaboard between Bethany Beach and Dewey Beach, Sussex County, Delaware. Due to severe scour experienced in the area, the bridge was scheduled for replacement with a new structure that will have an overall bridge length of 2,600 feet and a main span of 950 feet. The segmental, cable-stayed main span will allow the bridge to cross the inlet without any piers in the water and provides for the future potential widening of the inlet. The approaches consist of precast bulb-tee girders. The new bridge will have two 12-foot lanes for travel in each direction, a 10-foot wide outside shoulder, and a 4-foot wide inside shoulder in each direction. The minimum vertical clearance over the navigational channel will be 45 feet.

As Technical Review Consultant, T.Y. Lin International was the owner representative for this Design-Build Project. The scope of services during the Procurement Phase included reviewing the RFP, the contract documents, the performance specifications and the special provisions. T.Y. Lin International also evaluated the technical proposals prepared by the shortlisted teams and assisted DelDOT’s Selection Panel scoring the technical proposals.

During the Design Phase T.Y. Lin International provided general technical support to DelDOT and reviewed design submittals, issue papers and value engineering proposals. During the Construction Phase, T.Y. Lin International reviewed construction submittals, RFI’s and non-conformance reports. TYLI on-site engineers also provided support to DelDOT for construction engineering and inspection.

The firm is responsible for the construction management (including schedule and cost control analysis) of various sections/areas requiring storm water improvements as part of SFWMD’s ACCELER8 Program. After review and approval by the construction management team, each individual construction schedule then becomes a part of a master schedule that is coordinated with other on-going projects and future projects. This is a P3e/c schedule created, revised, and monitored by the district’s internal scheduling team. This schedule is cost loaded with design, land acquisition, permitting, and construction budgets. The schedule is updated monthly, reviewed, and reported on by our staff to ensure the overall program timeline is still on course.

The ACCELER8 program is an Everglades Restoration effort committed by a federal/state/local partnership to expedite the progress of eight restoration projects that will revitalize the Florida ecosystem. The projects consist of labor, equipment & materials to construct additional storm water treatment flow way for various areas identified by the program. The work will include the construction of canals, levees, flow control structures, the restoration of 55,000 acres of failed development, degrading of existing roads and beams, and filling of existing ditches and canals.

The firm is also responsible for a number of scheduling related activities. To date, there have been no cost overruns, no claims and no delays to the schedule. Our teams schedule related tasks run parallel with the tasks of the Construction Management (CM)/Construction Inspection Service (CIS) team. The procedure occurs as follows: After receiving the Notice to Proceed, the Contractor has ten (10) working days to submit the original base line schedule; it must be “cost loaded”. This schedule is presented in P3e or in Primavera Contractor. At this time, our staff has another ten (10) calendar days to review and compare our comments with the CM/CIS. This review is made by running Integrity Check to detect activities that do not have relationships and to follow the logic and duration of the project. After the review is completed the CM/CIS team will present the Owner with their recommendations for acceptance. Most of our projects have several substantial completion dates that must be met. This first review process must be completed before the first pay request is submitted by the Contractor since the Schedule is part of the submittal. After the Base line is accepted by the Owner for duration and logic, the Contractor will submit with each pay application an updated version of the schedule. This review is conducted by running the updated schedule through CLAIM DIGGER; this tool of P3e or Primavera Contractor will allow our staff to compare all changes made to the updated schedule to the latest accepted base line schedule on file. Next, our staff will run the INTEGRITY CHECK; this tool detects the relationship of the activities of the program and flags any that have been changed as a result of readjustment of the data input made every month.

Finally, our staff filters the schedule to print and review it to show Critical Path on each Substantial Completion mile stone and final project.

Opened in 2007 the South Terminal at Miami International Airport (MIA) does more than just help transport one fourth of MIA’s passengers from one destination to another. The 1.7-million-square-foot facility amazes the senses of passengers with its architectural design as it meets their travel needs. South Terminal encompasses a new Concourse J with 15 gates and a renovated Concourse H with 13 gates, serving 20 domestic and international carriers.

T.Y. Lin International provided mechanical (plumbing and fire protection systems) and civil (airside/landside) engineering design and construction phase services for the South Terminal Expansion Program at MIA. The new multi-level $360M terminal is equivalent to a new midsize airport and represents the first major terminal expansion at MIA since the airport was built in the 1950s. The firm was also the engineer-of-record for the landside roadways adjacent to the South Terminal facility.

The facility included the design curbside roadways, the new South Bus Station; an 18-position bus station facility to serve the buses from the Port of Miami. The firm analyzed the civil design criteria and utilized computer-generated bus movements to ensure adequate pavement area was available for bus maneuvering. The design included the preparation of an early package for an interim bus station which was utilized during the terminal building construction. The design also included removal and rerouting of existing utilities beneath the proposed terminal. The civil work involved planning and design of landside roadways including a traffic calming circle for vehicular traffic exiting the airport from the terminal area and adjacent parking structure.

The airside civil scope of services of the work involved new aircraft parking aprons, full utility design to service the terminal building and a unique grading condition for a depressed lower level of in the baggage make-up area. The utility work involved demolition of existing service lines and creation of two replacement drainage lines that had to continue beneath the building between massive foundations. All site work was coordinated with three adjacent projects (terminal, airside, landside roadways) that were part of the overall South Terminal Program at MIA.
