Heavy Construction
Steve P. Rados, Inc.'s heavy construction division involves the construction of large diameter pipelines and tie-in structures, as well as water treatment facilities, to provide California's ever growing population with a clean source of water. A typical pipeline project will include excavating, laying, and backfilling miles of pipe, either along existing roadways or through open country, and connecting into existing facilities or new structures. The diameter of the pipe could range from 36" to as large as 144". Shoring could be accomplished by a movable trench shield or with drilled beams and lagging, depending on the soil conditions and depth of the excavation. Dewatering of the site and/or soil improvements may be necessary as well. The structures could be 40' deep, 50' long by 50' wide with 4' thick walls. Shoring of these massive structures is usually accomplished with sheet pile, walers and struts. Sheet pile is also used to construct jacking and receiving pits for tunneling pipe under highways and rivers.

Highway Construction
Steve P. Rados, Inc.'s highway construction division involves the construction of bridges, retaining walls, drainage systems, etc., in order to widen, replace, or realign California's greatly burdened infrastructure. Current and past projects include: reconstructing 12 miles of SR 22 through a design-build joint venture; realigning the connection between Rte 405 and Rte 101 (one of the nation's most heavily traveled interchanges); seismically retrofitted Rtes 8 & 805 by enlarging existing columns and footings; constructed 2.5 miles of an elevated light rail system for the MTA's Green Line; constructed new railroad bridges for the Alameda Corridor Transportation Authority. We take great pride in our participation in these capital improvements for increasing public safety by easing traffic congestion in California's roadways and freeways, and for enhancing the flow of goods on our state's railways.
