" Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project"
Speakers: Scott Rugg, RG CEG,
Principal Engineering Geologist Kleinfelder, San Diego Office
And
Moi Arzamendi, PE, GE,
Sr. Supervising Geotechnical Engineer, WSP, San Diego Office
The Mid-Coast Corridor Transit Project is one of the largest public transit
infrastructure projects ever constructed in San Diego, California. The project is
an 11-mile light-rail transit (LRT) system link between Old Town and University
Town Center connecting residential areas, retail, business, education, and
medical centers. The $2.2 billion project includes 11 bridge crossings, 3
elevated viaducts, 4 at-grade stations, 98 retaining walls, 5 aerial transit
stations with pedestrian bridges, 13 traction power substations, 2 public
parking garages, and 2 park-and-ride facilities, and associated street
improvements. Detailed earthquake and fault rupture hazard studies were
performed to determine location, activity, rupture, displacement, and ground
motion design parameters. The numerous unique retaining walls (i.e., gravity,
cast-in-place (CIP), mechanically stabilized earth (MSE), soil nail, anchored,
soldier pile, sheet pile, slope paving, and counterfort) and various ground
improvements imposed many challenges. The rail corridor-wide project also
included a replacement double-track bridge over the San Diego River for Los
Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo (LOSSAN) heavy rail.
The Mid-Coast project was awarded the 2022 Outstanding Project of the Year
by CalGeo.
