From waterfront to wonderland, Mission Rock has redefined what’s possible when innovation meets community. Mission Rock in San Francisco has emerged as a vibrant, mixed-use neighborhood near Oracle Park in the Mission Bay neighborhood. Spanning 28 acres, this development, spearheaded by the San Francisco Giants and Tishman Speyer, has transformed and revitalized the aging waterfront into a dynamic community hub. The project required significant earthwork, where lightweight cellular concrete (LCC) was used extensively across the site. 75,000 CY of LCC were installed to address the challenges of building on San Francisco’s soft and compressible soils. Cell-Crete installed LCC across the entire site, underneath the entire park, used as in-fill for all 4 high rise structures, and even appears on the roof sections as part of our lightweight insulated concrete roof hybrid system (LWIC). LCC helped stabilize the ground, reduce settlement, and minimize the load on existing infrastructure, ensuring a solid foundation for the entire development. The area is now bustling with retail shops, restaurants, and cafes, making it a popular destination for both residents and visitors. Public spaces, including the expansive China Basin Park, provide areas for recreation and community gatherings. Cultural institutions and public art installations further enrich the neighborhood’s appeal. Sustainability was a key focus throughout the development, with green building practices, energy-efficient designs, and excellent public transit connections. Mission Rock stands as a model of modern urban development, balancing residential, commercial, and public interests in a cohesive and sustainable way.

I was able to attend SWE’s event Evening with Industry with Amber Cole and connect with up and coming engineers at Utah State University. It was a great night and Amber gave an awesome presentation on transitioning from college to the work place.

It was a rewarding experience presenting on the Sevier Bridge (Yuba) Dam Spillway Replacement Project at this year’s Association of State Dam Safety Officials (ASDSO) 2024 Conference with Thayne Clark. I’m grateful for all of the leasons learned and experience gained working on this important project over the last 3+ years. Yuba dam is now equipped to withstand just about any flood or earthquake that comes its way! This project was a success due to the dedicated hard work of countless individuals. A special thanks to CSBR Company, Ames Construction, Gerhart Cole, and Utah Dam Safety to name a few who played instrumental roles in making this project a success.

Say goodbye (hello) to the old (new) Bangerter. 👋 Curious about all that concrete piled up along Bangerter? It’s part of a major recycling effort! Our crews are crushing 15,000 cubic yards of old pavement—enough to fill two Goodyear Blimps—and repurposing it for the new interchange. This is all part of the work to remove stoplights and convert Bangerter intersections into freeway-style interchanges to increase safety and help keep traffic moving in the ever-growing west side of the Salt Lake Valley. #transportation #TeamUDOT #concrete

We're thrilled to announce that the I-405 Improvement Project has clinched the prestigious ASCE Orange County Project of the Year Award! This marks yet another triumph for Cell-Crete Corporation, reinforcing our commitment to excellence. Continue reading to learn more about this remarkable project. A heartfelt thank you to ASCE for this honor. The $2.16 billion I-405 Improvement mega-project is one of the largest design-build infrastructure freeway projects in the United States, along one of the busiest and most congested freeway segments in the United States. The project improves 16 miles of Interstate Route 405 in Orange County, from State Route 73 to Interstate Route 605, crossing six corridor cities. The project aims to reduce travel times for the 509,000 travelers projected to traverse this segment per day by 2040. The goal of the project is to reduce congestion, enhance operations, increase mobility, improve trip reliability, maximize throughput, and optimize operations, while minimizing environmental impacts and right-of-way acquisitions. In general, the project accomplishes these goals by adding two lanes in each direction, providing one new general-purpose lane in each direction and allowing for the conversion of the existing carpool lane facility to a total four-lane tolled express lane facility. The freeway widening alleviates geometric constraints, such as bottlenecks and nonstandard lane and shoulder widths, and requires interchange reconstruction providing further traffic operational and geometric improvements. To accommodate the work, the project constructs four new bridges, replaces18 overcrossing bridges (including one pedestrian overcrossing), widens or modifies six existing bridges, and constructs miles of retaining and soundwalls along the corridor and local roadways. Almost all of the replaced overcrossing bridges span the freeway at a 45-degree skew, which further lengthens and complicates the bridge design. One of the new bridges supports a new connector ramp between the SR-73 tollway and the new I-405 express lane facility. Continue reading about the project here: https://buff.ly/4bgF93Z

Get a behind-the-scenes look at the historic renovation underway at the Frank E. Moss U.S. Courthouse in Salt Lake City! The Administrator of U.S. General Services Administration, Robin Carnahan, visited the Courthouse this past week with our project team to see progress of the building's transformation into a modern and resilient workplace. HOK's Stefanie Hartman, Barb Anderson-Kerlin, Tim Gaidis; Trivers' Amy Gilbertson; and HOK's Margaret Goodin (left to right in the photo below) attended the event. Built in 1905 as a federal courthouse and U.S. post office with additional expansions in 1912 and 1932, the Moss U.S. Courthouse renovation will include seismic upgrades and sustainable design elements to make it a resilient and energy-efficient workplace for more than a dozen federal agencies. Additional partners on the project include Trivers, Oculus Inc., Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH), Kuhlmann Leavitt, Inc., Dunn Associates, Inc., Henderson Engineers, IMEG, Spectrum Engineers, Construction Control Corporation, CCI, Gerhart Cole Inc., Big-D Construction and Terracon.
