Site work and renovation of a water / sewer project in San Diego, California. Completed plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

The seawater distribution system at UCSD's Scripps Institution of Oceanography (Scripps) campus provides filtered seawater to the Birch Aquarium at Scripps (BAS), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Southwest Fisheries facility, and several other Scripps laboratory buildings throughout the Scripps campus. The seawater distribution system has an extensive history dating back to the early 1900s and has been expanded and improved over the past century. One of the key components that has developed over the years is the way Sea Water is stored throughout the Seawater system. Currently there are 9 Seawater Storage tanks, 7 of which that are comprised of cast-in-place reinforced concrete. All 7 tanks are located at 3 different sites on the Scripps campus. All 7 tanks have started to develop compromised cracks, spalling, and some leakage in the cast in place concrete. The primary objectives of the "Seawater Storage Tank Repair Project" is to make necessary repairs to all 7 tanks and apply liners and coatings to specific tanks to prevent further damage and extend the useful life of the tanks. Due to the age of the tanks, some updated safety measure will be implemented. The project scope may include: Interior and Exterior crack and spalling repairs. Exterior concrete protective coating. Interior liner application that has been approve by the Sea Life Team. Stainless steel ladder access installation. Stainless steel railing installation.
