Recognized as one of the West Coast's most reputable and reliable heavy construction contractors, California Engineering Contractors Inc.(CEC) regularly and successfully tackles difficult, complex projects with skill and apparent ease, consistently delivering top-quality work on time and within budget. The company's well known focus on technically demanding and schedule-driven projects has characterized CEC since it opened its doors for business in 1972, starting with just a small amount of savings, a pickup truck and two employees.
Since then, CEC has emerged as an industry pioneer in its ongoing efforts to create and implement innovative techniques and solutions in order to meet the increasingly complex demands and needs of the construction industry, as illustrated by its ample portfolio.
The company's experience now includes virtually all types and sizes of public works projects - railroad construction, seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of major structures, bridge construction, marine construction, flood control structures, tunnel retrofit/rehabilitation, and other infrastructure-related projects.
West Span Dampers Project Completed
CEC recently completed the project to replace 96 seismic dampers on the Bay Bridge for Caltrans. Access under a bridge is always challenging. CEC used 8 suspended truss platforms that stretched across the width of the bridge to perform the work on those dampers that were at the lower chord of the truss. The final phase of the project was to remove the platforms, as seen in the video above and the photos found here. At least 3 cranes were needed for this middle-of-the-night operation, including one on the top deck, one on the lower deck and one on a barge on the water.
CEC Bridge Book
Dedicated to the men and women of California Engineering Contractors, Inc., this book is a pictorial memoir of our many successful projects upgrading, strengthening, and dismantling the bridges that cross the waters of the San Francisco Bay and the rivers and delta that feed it.
