Napa Valley Wine Train Relocation, California
Suulutaaq executed the Napa Valley Wine Train flood control improvement
project under a contract awarded by the US Army Corp of Engineers
- Sacramento District. This complex project was performed to reduce
flooding impacts to downtown Napa, while keeping the Napa Valley
Wine Train running on the existing track without interruption or
delay in service during construction activities. Innovation and
partnering with many stakeholders on this project enabled Suulutaaq
to create and implement a successful plan to overcome design, timing,
and multiple agency concerns. Elements of the project, in addition
to construction, included overall project management, environmental
protection, and community outreach.
Flood control improvements constructed as part of this project included
of three bridges, as well as raising an existing railroad track at three
street crossings. The three street crossings also required significant
upgrades of existing utilities, as well as new retaining walls to protect
multiple existing businesses and residences. Railroad-related work also
included installing approximately 3,300 linear feet of new rail.
Suulutaaq, through partnering, effective project scheduling, meetings,
and assigning a competent, confident and knowledgeable management team
bridged communication issues between multiple government agencies and
the Napa community, to successfully complete the project ahead of schedule
and at minimal additional cost to the client.
