Abstract
This paper describes some of the construction processes involved in the conversion of 538 acres of the former Oakland Naval Supply Center to the Port of Oakland's Vision 2000 Program. The program includes two container terminals, a six-lane access road, a rail to truck intermodal terminal and a 35 acre shoreline park. In addition to the expected challenges this project had the added restrictions of several regulatory agencies, heavy rains during earthwork operations, and the excavation, stockpiling, testing and reuse placement of 540,000 cubic yards of excavated soil. The paper describes other construction issues of the program, including the lime and cement treatment of clay subbase and creation and reuse of 600,000 tons of crushed concrete aggregate base material from demolished buildings and roads.
