Ono Lead Track Extension Project
Ames Construction crews are working in tight spaces to add an additional storage track at an intermodal facility in San Bernardino, California.
Work on the project began on Jan. 2, 2023. With only 15 to 20 feet of working space between tracks and private homes in some locations, the project team has prioritized coordinating temporary easements with property owners and establishing ingress/egress points.
Another big challenge is coordinating with the five agencies that control different scopes of Ames’ work. The project manager and three engineers hold regular office and field meetings with representatives of the agencies to ensure communication and continual progress.
Finally, the project site is the main avenue for drainage for the city and surrounding neighborhoods. Crews have installed multiple retention ponds, and use check dams and berms to control the flow of water. This helps to ensure that work can proceed following a rain event while the surrounding area continues to drain for several days.
