Geo-Advantec, Inc.

Scope Of Work

City of Torrance intended to construct a Transit Park and Ride Regional Terminal to create a strategically located, multi-modal facility that meet the regional needs of South Bay residents. The project was to improve regional mobility by linking Torrance Transit routes with other regional providers in the Transit Terminal. The Phase I of the job included rough grading of half of the existing fifteen-acre undeveloped site, located at 465 Crenshaw boulevard, which would be dedicated to the Transit Terminal.

The City of Torrance retained Geo-Advantec for grading observation and soils testing of different components of the project including proposed one-story and two story buildings, bus platform, canopies, and pavement of the designated areas. To complete the project, about 45,000 cubic yards of soils were imported to the site. The purpose of testing and inspection operations was to verify that the completed work complied with the project plans, specifications, special provisions, and geotechnical recommendations.
