Caltrain Peninsula Corridor Electrification, Santa Clara, CA

Agency: Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board

Morgner’s Role: Pre-Construction Photo Documentation Services and Noise and Vibration Control Plan and Monitoring

Project Description:

The Peninsula Corridor Electrification Project (PCEP), sponsored by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (JPB), is a key component of the Caltrain Modernization Program that will electrify the existing commuter rail system to upgrade its performance, operating efficiency, capacity, and reliability. This is a 52-mile corridor that traverses 17 cities across San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. Components of the Project: Installation of 138 miles of single track and OCS for the distribution of electrical power to the EMUs. The OCS will be powered from a 25 kV, 60-Hertz, single phase, alternating current supply system consisting of two TPSs, one switching station, and seven paralleling stations (PS) and Electrification will be performed using the Design-Build delivery method.

Morgner’s scope of work includes building photo documentation and photo-documentation of right-of-way, as well as properties along the alignment. In addition, Morgner is providing a noise and vibration control plan for environmental compliance within the 17 cities and counties in which the corridor traverses.
