OAKLAND COLISEUM
OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA
Consolidated Engineering Laboratories performed all special inspection and testing services for this high
profile expansion project. This fast-track project was serviced 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our
services included inspection and testing of reinforced concrete, shotcrete, epoxy grouted dowels, concrete
pile fabrication, structural steel fabrication in the shop and field, pile splice welding, and proofloading of
dowels and anchors. We also utilized pachometers to determine the location of reinforcing steel prior to
contractor drilling or coring holes for dowels and anchors. CEL provided shop fabrication inspection at
four different facilities in Southern California. An e-mail reporting system was used to provide our client
and all designated parties with reports within 24 hours.
