<br />. <br />.,. <br /> <br />Seismic Vulnerability Study <br /> <br />computer and telecommunications equipment; retrofit of pipelines at fault crossings, <br />landslide and liquefaction areas; installation of new valves; improvements to emergency <br />response plans. <br /> <br />. Seismic Vulnerability Assessment: City of Hayward Water System <br /> <br />Client: City of Hayward, CA. Client Contact: Mr. Alex Ameri, 510-583-4723. This <br />project included seismic assessment of a all reservoirs, tanks, wells, pump stations, <br />pipelines and treatment facilities for the City of Hayward's (pop. 150,000) water system. <br />Included field inspection of all facilities; consideration of surface faulting, liquefaction, <br />ground shaking and landslides at all facilities; development of multi-stage capital <br />improvement program for reservoirs, pipelines and other facilities. Design of three new <br />12" diameter pipelines to cross the Hayward fault. <br /> <br />Seismic Retrofit of Pipelines at Fault Crossing Locations <br /> <br />Client: EBMUD, 375 Eleventh Street, Oakland, CA 94607. Client Contact: Mr. Bob Lau, <br />510-287-1089. This project included the detailed evaluation of202 pipelines in <br />EBMUD's water distribution system where they cross the Hayward and Calaveras faults. <br />We developed performance criteria, acceptance limits. We then established, working <br />with the District's Operations division, priorities for upgrade. Then, working with the <br />District's construction department, constructability reviews were performed. Detailed <br />cost take-offs for each pipe and isolation valve (automatic or manual) were developed, in <br />conjunction with various manufacturers. Drawings were developed for each of 20 fault <br />crossings showing alternative retrofit strategies. Considering underground interferences, <br />traffic control, cost and aqueduct importance, the best retrofit design was established at <br />each crossing. <br /> <br />Emergency Response Plan Assessment <br /> <br />Client: EBMUD, 375 Eleventh Street, Oakland, CA 94607. Client Contact: Mr. Martin <br />Falarski, (510-547-5144, retired). This project consisted of an independent review of the <br />performance of the EBMUD operations staff in response to the 1991 Oakland Hills <br />firestorm. This fire burned over 3,000 structures, making it the largest urban interface fITe <br />in the United States. The effort consisted of thorough review of all actions taken by the <br />EBMUD operations and maintenance departments during and after the 1991 Oakland <br />Hills fire. Meetings were conducted with affected outside agencies (City of Berkeley fITe <br />department, City of Oakland fire department, California Office of Emergency Services, <br />and others). Recommendations were made as to changes needed to the existing <br />emergency response plans. <br /> <br />Seismic Vulnerability Analysis of Santa Clara Water System.
