    ClientAmerican Bridge and Fluor

    Louis Berger is serving as l ead construction engineer or the largest sel-anchored

    suspension bridge in the world: the $1.4 billion San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.

    The 700-meter-long deck system will consist o twin steel orthotropic box girders.

    Construction requires the design o twin temporary steel trusses to support the box

    girders during deck erection until loads are transerred to the suspension cables.

    A 165-meter-high temporary steel erection tower was designed to erect the single

    permanent steel suspension tower in our separate lits. The temporary trusses are

    supported by seven steel rame towers, which were designed as state-o-the-art

    eccentrically braced rames using steel box sections. The alsework will be in service

    or a period o three to our years, a relatively long time or temporary structures.

    Given the seismic risks in the Oakland Bay ar ea, the alsework was designed or

    substantial seismic and vessel impact loading. Foundations or the towers were

    designed in variable ground conditions. Foundation types included micropile

    oundations on bedrock, cast-in-drilled hole concrete caissons and deep-driven

    steel piles in sot marine clays in 25-meter-deep deep water. Fast-track design andconstruction was required to meet an aggressive schedule.

    Under a separate contract, Louis Berger is also providing the camber calculations

    or the bridge deck a nd developing the complex geometries or the main cables and

    suspenders during each step o the erection.

    LBG is the lead design rm on the Howland Piscataquis River Bridge Replacem

    This $11 million project carries U.S. Route 116 (Con Street) over the Piscata

    bridge with a new three-span, 582-oot long, haunched steel girder bridge to

    food conditions, aesthetics and maintainability, and includes retaining wa lls

    approach to minimize right-o-way impacts.

    The replacement bridge is designed using AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Spec

    (2007 with interim revisions to 2009). Foundation design includes two mass p

    situated in the Piscataquis River and designed or severe ice fow and hydrau

    conditions including scour and extreme food conditions. Construction o the p

    require coerdams and seals placed on bedrock in the river.

    An extensive hydraulics analysis was conducted to provide the most cost-eec

    design while still meeting the hydraulic design requirements. Due to the prese

    conguration o the river and operation o the downstream dam, ten hydrauli

    were considered to determine the most severe food and scour conditions at th

    bridge. LBGs geotechnical engineers coordinated closely with the civil and hengineers to determine an optimal solution or scour pr otection and support o

    and abutments. The analysis is complicated by the presence o a dam with re

    1ashboards only 200 eet downstream o the proposed bridge.

    Louis Berger CompanyBergerABAM

    ClientWashington State Departmento Transportation

    Washington State has invested more than 1.5 bill ion o state and ederal dollars in

    reeway high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes and ramps over the past 40 years. These

    special purpose lanes orm a crucial part o the central Puget Sound areas highway

    system. Approximately 310 lane-miles o a planned 320-mile reeway system have

    been built including the Interstate 5, State Route 526 to U.S. 2 lanes. To help eliminate

    sudden lane changes and improve a major trac chokepoint on this stretch o

    highway, BergerABAM teamed with the Atkinson-CH2M HILL joint venture design-build

    team to widen the northbound and southbound reewa y lanes or the Washington State

    Department o Transportation (WSDOT). The project included 10 miles o new HOV

    lanes on I-5, as well as the widening o two bridges.

    BergerABAM also provided the designs or construction o the bridge widenings.

    The widenings increased the roadway deck width o the bridges by 28.0 eet

    rom 48.0 eet to 76.0 eet. The East Bridge is 966 eet long and comprised o

    nine spans; the West Bridge is 883 eet long and comprised o eight spans.

    Recognized nationally as experts in earthquake engineering, BergerABAM engineersdevised a motion stabilizing solution that was readily a pproved by WSDOT. A unique

    link slab design was incorporated into the two bridges to limit the eects o dierential

    motion between the existing and new single-column piers during a seismic event. This

    special earthquake resisting system reduced the contractors cost to build the bridges

    as part o this $160 million project.

    tate Route 520 Floating Bridge and Approachesattle, Washington

    At 7,578 eet long, the State Route 520 Floating Bridge in Seattle, Washington, is the

    longest foating bridge in the world. The nearl y 50-year-old structure is a critical link in

    the state, carrying approximately 115,000 vehicles and more than 190,000 people

    across Lake Washington daily. Given that the existing our-lane br idge is vulnerable

    to congestion, as well as windstorms and ear thquakes, WSDOT recently initiated a

    project to replace the structure. BergerABAM, as part o the Kiewit-General-Manson

    joint venture, is serving as co-lead designer or the replacement project.

    BergerABAM is responsible or the design o the foating bridge superstructure,

    pontoon interaces, foating bridge anchors, transition spans, Pier 36 (the westernmost

    pier), the east approach br idge, roadway tie-ins, and maintenance acility and

    maintenance pier. The Team was also tasked to implement intelligent transportation

    systems, electronic tolling, and other electrical and mechanical systems.

    The replacement bridge, which is expected to be completed by late 2014, will eature

    six lanes, including two general-purpose lanes and one high-occupancy-vehicle lane ineach direction, and a bicycle/pedestrian path on the north side. The structure was also

    designed or the uture addition o one lane o high-capacity light rail transit in each

    direction. The completed foating bridge will signicantly reduce travel times between

    Seattle and several communities to the east along State Route 520, as well as improve

    saety, as the structure will be resistant to winds o up to 89 miles per hour.
