​Division 20 Portal Widening Turnback

As a subconsultant to DHS Consulting, Inc., Zephyr Rail. (ZUI) is currently providing Construction Management Support Services for the expansion of the Division 20 rail yard located within the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles.

LA Metro aims to increase service levels on the Metro Red and Purple Lines. In order to support the increase of rail vehicles and improve service times on those lines, the following improvements are needed at the yard site: widening of the heavy rail tunnel portal south of the US-101 freeway, a new turnback facility, and expansion and reconfiguration of rail storage tracks.

ZUI staff currently provides engineering design reviews in support of the projected construction date in 2019. Specific services include: constructability reviews for the final design documents; review of construction phasing strategy; attending yard allocation meetings; and providing key coordination services between LA Metro and adjacent stakeholder agencies. Once construction begins, our team will also provide resident engineering, inspection, and safety oversight services over the life of the project.
