Lathrop, California, United States

San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission - Structures Inspector/Scheduler. The Construction of the Lathrop Wye Box Culvert consists of a double-barrel reinforced cast-in-place concrete box culvert. Box Culvert functions as an irrigation drainage ditch for farms receiving SSJID irrigation water and as a storm drain for approximately 10,210 acres of land in south Manteca and several regional municipalities. The culvert crossing is needed to support new wye connection tracks, which will curve over a portion of the canal. The tracks will be constructed as a part of future $200B rail extensions which could not start until this project was completed. The double-barrel concrete box culvert will have dimensions approximately 384 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 11 feet tall. Concrete wing walls and an apron will be constructed at the culvert’s inlet and outlet. In addition, riprap and rock slope protection will be placed around both ends of the culvert to protect canal slopes and soil from erosion.The culvert work area will need to be isolated and dewatered prior to construction. In addition, culvert construction will require a temporary water diversion system so that the construction area can be dewatered without disrupting irrigation and stormwater drainage. A temporary bypass line will be installed to divert water around the culvert work area.A temporary bypass pump will be installed upstream of the southern cofferdam to pump water out of the canal and around the work area, which will then outfall north of the downstream cofferdam. Erosion protection will be placed at the temporary outfall location.The Box Culvert Structure including excavation and backfill will be completed within 5 months.Update: The actual construction of the 384 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 11 feet tall double barrel structure itself didn't begin until August 12, 2024 and the entire box culvert with wingwalls and apron was completed by October 12, 2024.
