RICHMOND PARKWAY
RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA
Consolidated Engineering Laboratories provided inspection and testing services for this 7.5 mile roadway
and interchange connecting Highway 580 near the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge to Highway 80 north of
Richmond. Included in our services were all new grade settings, underground utilities, drainage systems
and seven major structures (overpasses, concrete and steel bridges and railway bridges), as well as the
widening of an existing roadway.
CEL had as many as five full-time technicians providing materials testing on this project, as well as two
on-site mobile laboratories for Caltrans field conformance tests for soil, concrete and asphaltic concrete.
In addition, we provided hands-on training for Richmond residents, working in partnership with minority owned
firms.
