Atkinson Part of BART Maintenance Facility Project Team
October 23, 2015
HAYWARD, Calif. - Atkinson Construction has been selected as part of the Hayward Complex Maintenance Facilities project team, a $98.4 million effort for client San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART). The project is part of an expansion program that will provide BART with additional car maintenance and storage capacity for its trains. Clark Construction Group is the project's general contractor.
The project team will renovate an existing service and inspection shop and construct a new component repair shop facility at BART's site in Hayward, CA. Before construction begins, the team will demolish the existing warehouse building. In its place, they will construct a 135,000 square-foot industrial component repair shop. The steel-framed structure will include 32,000 square feet of administrative space, welfare facilities, and specialty rooms used for component repair and testing, electro-mechanical repair, and electrical repair.
Once construction is complete, the team will relocate the existing truck, wheel, and axle shop equipment to the new facility, install 4,000 linear feet of new track to connect the yard to the shop, and construct seven new train vehicle lift systems. Additionally, the team will provide systems work, including rail, traction power, and train control work in the yard and leading to the facility.
Construction is underway, and substantial completion is scheduled for March 2018.
