The Kiewit-Parsons Joint Venture announced that it will deliver at the end of May the Gold Line Operations Campus in Monrovia (California). The operations campus is built as part of the Foothill Gold Line light rail transit (LRT) project from Pasadena to Azusa in California and has a cost of USD 265 million.
The Gold Line Operations Campus will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, housing up to 84 light rail vehicles and nearly 200 employees. It will contain offices and training facilities for operations and maintenance staff, as well as accommodations for light rail vehicle inspection and maintenance services.
“The Gold Line Operations Campus is one of the only facilities of its kind designed and built to meet the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Gold standards,” said Todd Wager, Parsons Group President.
The Gold Line Operations Campus is part of a Foothill Gold Line Construction Authority contract in which the Kiewit-Parsons team designed and built 11.5 miles (18.5 km) of double mainline track, 6 light rail stations, 10 traction power substations, communications systems, and an LRT train control/signals system, as well as a freight signals system for a new freight track on the eastern 3.8 miles (6.1 km) section of the project. The extension will be substantially complete in September 2015.
