Civil Engineers • Surveyors • Construction Managers
F&L provides a wide range of engineering services for public works agencies and special districts including infrastructure and street improvement projects. Our services include:
F&L’s team prepared Construction Documents for replacing over 14,000 linear feet of 6-inch vitrified clay pipe (VCP) and 1,000 l.f. of 10-inch VCP pipe using piping bursting located primarily within backyard easements. The project included the rehabilitation or replacement of 20 manholes. Our services also included utility potholing to validate existing sanitary sewer pipe separation from water and gas utilities. For this project, F&L presented the project approach at community meetings to gather information to incorporate input from locals. Our team also developed a pre-bid requirement strategy requiring all potential bidders to tour the site with carrying staff to reduce the potential for differing site condition claims.
The project includes:
Freyer & Laureta, Inc. (F&L) designed and oversaw the construction of structures for the WBSD Sharon Heights Golf and Country Club Construction Observation. The team took part in the construction of the recycled water treatment plant, a sanitary sewer lift station to provide sewer for treatment, and the construction of 2 miles of a sanitary sewer force main to connect the new treatment plant with the new lift station. The project includes:
As part of the wastewater collection system, the West Bay Sanitary District (WBSD) owns and maintains a Flow Equalization and Resource Recovery Facility (FERRF) used for the storage and retransmission of wastewater. Located adjacent to the SF Bay, perimeter maintenance access roads around this facility are in need of upgrade to protect the facility from King Tides that are extremely close to breaching onto the site. F&L serves the WBSD in designing and permitting, coordinating efforts with various stakeholders. Improvements to the maintenance roads require sheetpiles and raising the grades above the 100-year FEMA Floodplain as well as accounting for sea level rise to keep the facility operating even during the 100 year storm event. This helps to safeguard against SSOs onsite. The project also includes a living shoreline to stabilize the northeastern edge, restore the shoreline, increase resiliency to rising sea levels and create habitat.
The project includes:
F&L prepared construction documents for the 25th Avenue Sanitary Relief Line Project to install 24-inch and 30-inch wet weather relief pipelines within both Caltrans and Caltrain’s rights of way. The project involved a combination of open trench and trenchless construction methods. The project area is an active commercial district and required close coordination with the business owners to establish temporary parking for customers and develop detailed traffic control strategies to address short term impacts to commuters. F&L’s services include:
F&L is providing planning, design, and construction management services for West Bay Sanitary District’s Sausal Vista Pump Station Upgrade project. The goal of the project is to provide additional capacity to reduce the potential of sanitary sewer overflows during wet weather conditions as well as upgrade the electrical service to improve reliability of the pump station. F&L’s services include:
F&L is the lead site civil engineer for the proposed Front of Plant Improvements. We are working closely with Silicon Valley Clean Water (SVCW) and the larger Front of Plant planning and design team for the project that is anticipated to include new influent pump station, new headworks and screening facility, and flow equalization facilities. F&L’s services include:
F&L is the lead engineer for the City of Pacifica’s Wet Weather Flow Equalization Basin Project, which includes a 2.1 million gallon buried concrete basin and 2,400 linear feet of 24-inch sanitary sewer gravity conveyance in order to eliminate capacity related sanitary sewer overflows. The new buried concrete basin will be installed under the existing Pacifica Community Center Parking Lot, which will be restored to full use. The conveyance piping is being installed with a combination of open trench and trenchless methods within both public rights of way and public utility easements. F&L’s services include:
F&L provided full-time inspection services for Delaware Trunk Sewer Rehabilitation project. The project involved rehabilitation of the existing sewer main using cure in place pipe (CIPP) methods as well as rehabilitation of several manholes. The alignment included rehabilitation of both gravity sewer and siphons within critical commuter corridor requiring careful planning and execution of the insitu rehabilitation as well as the sanitary sewer bypass facilities. F&L provided the following services:
The City of Burlingame is implementing a Storm Drain Capital Improvement Program that includes neighborhood projects focused on alleviating local drainage challenges. F&L has assisted the City with over 50 local storm drainage improvement projects that have included improvements such as the replacement of storm drainage mains, manholes, catch basins, curb and gutter, and various drainage infrastructure and street infrastructure.
As part of the rebuilding of Hoover Elementary School, the City of Burlingame determined the need to improve pedestrian safety. The City desired to evaluate and upgrading existing pedestrian crossings adjacent to Hoover Elementary School to address congestion during peak hours. F&L’s services include:
