Working at the busiest international border crossing in the Western Hemisphere, the Hensel Phelps team deconstructed and replaced existing pedestrian and bus inspection facilities while maintaining vital traffic flow between California and Mexico.

This project provided a new underground power duct bank system and manholes between multiple substations that serve a mission-critical federal government facility.

For this large and complex expansion of a 35-year-old shopping center, the engineering team implemented one of the first highly ductile bolted SidePlate moment frame systems on the West Coast.

Constructed in 1912, the building originally housed compressed air and hydraulic power-generation equipment and served as an electrical substation that transformed and distributed electrical power for a 69-acre shipyard along San Francisco’s waterfront.

When the 95-year-old buildings that comprise Alameda High School could not meet California seismic standards, the Alameda Unified School District decided to tackle a major upgrade and retrofit that would also provide a 21st-century learning environment.

A major commuter route, I-880 is the most heavily used corridor in the Bay Area for moving goods.

Located at the center of a densely populated and active campus, the 30,000-sq-ft Burbank Auditorium was completely transformed from the inside out, providing significant upgrades to circulation, interior design, technology, building systems, seismic and theatrical production systems while also incorporating a 5,000-sq-ft addition.
