AESCO's registered engineer. The test results are reviewed by AESCO's Engineering
Manager and QA/QC Manager, each of whom has over 35 years of experience.
Innovative and Flexible Approaches
AESCO has used various approaches to save clients time and money as shown below:
• An example of our approach is the emergency response AESCO provided to the City
of Huntington Beach when a large sinkhole developed in the middle of one of the
major thoroughfares; Warner Avenue. AESCO personnel were on -site around the
clock to assist in the repair and to devise a dewatering system to be used during
construction. AESCO's geotechnical engineers provided on the spot engineering
recommendations and mitigations to expedite the repair. AESCO implemented and
supervised a grout injection system to save the in -place utilities, existing structures,
and the roadway. The project was completed approximately 20 percent earlier than
was anticipated.
• AESCO also provided emergency response to the Alhambra Unified School District
when an excavation flooded at night due to broken water line at Garfield Elementary
School. AESCO's Geotechnical Engineer was on -site at 7:00 A.M. on a Saturday to
assist the District in mitigation of the problem and to stabilize the subgrade.
• AESCO also responded to a slope failure along in Highway 330 near Lake
Arrowhead. AESCO worked double shifts and weekends performing the
geotechnical investigations and recommendations for the contractor to repair the road
in a timely manner.

OCTA OC Streetcar Project, Santa Ana, CA
The OC Streetcar project consists of the design and construction
of a two -track streetcar system from the Santa Ana Regional
Transportation Center (SARTC) in Santa Ana to the proposed
Regional Transit Connection and station in Garden Grove,
approximately 4 miles. The project also includes design and
construction of a maintenance and storage facility and two new
bridge structures.
The maintenance and storage facility is planned to house all
light revenue maintenance functions, including operations.
This will accommodate administration, operations,
maintenance, repair bays, and parts storage. A maintenance
building, a wash building, parking lots, and a fire lane are
also included.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
The Santa Ana River Bridge is an approximately 356-foot-long, 3-span, precast, pre -stressed concrete,
Caltrans, wide -flange girder bridge. Spans vary from approximately 80 to 138 feet and will carry the OC
Streetcar light rail tracks over the Santa Ana River and adjacent Santa Ana River Trail. Traffic on the bridge
consists of two tracks. Two reinforced concrete pier walls were proposed for the river piers. Short seat
abutments on a single row of cast -in -drilled -hole (CIDH) piles were proposed to minimize earthwork,
accommodate thermal movements, and use the same foundation type as the piers. The Westminster Avenue
UP was proposed as an approximately 23 1 -foot-long, 2-span, cast -in -place, post -tensioned concrete box girder
bridge. Spans are approximately I I I to 120 feet long and will carry the OC Streetcar light rail tracks over
Westminster Avenue. Traffic on the bridge consists of two tracks. High, cantilever abutments were proposed
to minimize span length. A single, non -skewed, oblong column bent was proposed to fit within the available
14-foot median width, measured face-to-face of curb, on Westminster Avenue.
DYA provided a Phase I Hazardous Waste Environmental Site Assessment for the portion of the project
within OCTA's Pacific Electric Railway right-of-way from Harbor Boulevard to North Rain Street and a
geotechnical investigation for the entire alignment, including soil borings, laboratory analysis, engineering
analyses, and geotechnical reports. DYA subsequently performed a supplemental environmental site
investigation in the Pacific Electric right-of-way and has been providing construction support and
observation services.
