Situation
The Strand project is a critical initiative by California American Water to increase the resiliency of their water distribution system by adding booster pumping capacity. This involves rehabilitating an existing underground booster pump vault, originally installed in 1944 and unused for over 20 years due to its outdated pressure capabilities.
Bocci's role encompasses both the mechanical and electrical design scopes, addressing the complex challenges of obtaining necessary permits and coordinating with three subcontracted partners. The entire project site is situated within Caltrans right of way for a state highway and is being executed alongside the replacement of the water main served by the booster pump, adding layers of complexity to the project management efforts.
