AGS, Inc., in association with Gannett Fleming, was selected from a field of national competitors to design and construct the MUNI Metro East Light Rail Vehicle Maintenance and Operations Facility which will provide for storage of over 100 light rail vehicles on the 13-acre site. Other functions at this facility will include light and heavy repair, operator dispatching, daily servicing, and paint and body repair. Our responsibilities on the project include coordinating all civil engineering aspects of the design, structural design of the 100,000 sq. ft. shops facility, geotechnical investigation, and hazmat investigation.

AGS is part of the construction oversight team for the BART-San Francisco International Airport Extension Design/Build Project. AGS staff members are responsible for civil utilities, claim evaluations, and inspections. AGS staff have held key positions on other BART construction management projects including DPX (Dublin / Pleasanton Extension), BART parking garages at Hayward, Walnut Creek, Concord and BART Daly City Intermodel Facilities.

This project consisted of construction of "Cement Deep Soil Mixing" for 2,500 feet along the wharf at Berths 55/56 for the purpose of improving the slope stability against failure into the Oakland estuary during seismic shaking. AGS provided geotechnical inspection and project oversight during the installation of about 326,000 square feet of Cement Deep Soil Mixing wall and over 2,000 pile installations.

Pier 45 sustained significant damage during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. A major portion of the pier structure was supported on fill material which was liquefied. AGS developed an innovative and cost-efficient compaction grouting scheme to strengthen the fill. This project was recognized in 1995 by the Economic Development Administration with an Award of Excellence for being an outstanding public works project.

This project involves construction of two eight-story garages connected by a bridge, an approximately 2500 feet long elevated structure for BART/AirTrain lines, and a six-story rental car facility at the San Francisco International Airport. AGS provided geotechnical and earthquake engineering services for the design and construction of these facilities. A total of 10,000 piles have been installed under the supervision of AGS.

This project involved design of a system of two-level elevated roads to provide access to the arrival and departure levels of the new International Terminal (IT) and the new IT Garage buildings. These multi-story garage structures include AirTrain Terminal Stations and short-term parking. AGS's responsibilities as part of a joint-venture included foundation design for the elevated structures, computer modeling and analysis of the superstructure, one-half of the total civil engineering including utilities and roadway geometrics design, and project administration.
