UC Berkeley, Substation Slope Erosion Mitigation Project

UC Berkeley maintains a 115 kV substation on the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory campus that is supported by two taps, known as Platforms 1 and 2. As prime consultant, JMA led the design to channelize runoff away from the platform foundations to repair the existing eroded condition. JMA prepared multiple alternatives for the erosion mitigation improvements which included new catch basins for runoff, grading and drainage and cost estimates. JMA’s scope covered new pavement, signage and striping and new fencing, gates and barriers.

Additionally, JMA led design review meetings with UCB and LBNL and provided construction support services. The project finished construction in 2022.
