Scope Of Work
This Design-Build project involved the renovation of 21 stations along the Metro Blue Line in Los Angeles. The work included removal and re-installation of concrete, custom tile, terrazzo, electrical conduits and other system components, paint, and custom artwork, all while remaining open to the public. At 17 of the stations, installation of a brand new structural steel canopy with new custom aluminum cladding, electrical systems, light fixtures, plumbing and paint was required. The nature of this project, with existing structures and conditions, has highlighted the need for a very detail oriented approach with an emphasis on coordination between the Design-Build entity, subcontractors, and multiple third-party organizations. Schedules were tight and had be coordinated very precisely, at times down to the minute. Amoroso had three weeks to complete each station before moving on to the next, so most construction activities took place during evenings as well as running 24-hour shifts on the weekend.
