First Hill Streetcar
City of Seattle Department of Transportation
Seattle, Washington
Exeltech provided construction inspection services for this project which involved the installation of an approximately 2.5-mile streetcar line in a busy urban corridor that connects First Hill, Capitol Hill, Yesler Terrace, the Central District, International District, and Pioneer Square. The project included major utility construction and relocation including sanitary sewer, stormwater, and water main installation. In addition, the project included major roadway reconstruction with concrete and HMA paving. Inspection of utility relocations was performed in preparation for removal of the existing roadway section for track system installation and new construction of pole foundations and electrical conduit for the traction power overhead catenary system and traffic signals. Exeltech investigated utility as-built documentation and coordinated with all public and private utility providers, inspected ADA curb ramp and sidewalk installation, and facilitated field changes for ADA compliance.
