Market Experience
Valley Metro Line Section 1 – Phoenix, AZ
Line Section 1 is the first Light Rail Transit system in Arizona. Though delivered by the traditional hard-bid method, Kiewit Western Co., a subsidiary of Kiewit Corporation, had a large hand in redesigning the project and resequencing tasks after encountering more than 600 unknown obstructions in approximately 14 months of work.
Metro Gold Line – Pasadena, CA
A Kiewit-led joint venture was awarded the Metro Gold Line design-build delivery project. Completed in July 2003, the $300 million project runs along an existing rail right-of-way from Los Angeles to Claremont, which extends 13.7 miles from Union Station in downtown Los Angeles and serves the communities of Los Angeles, Chinatown, Lincoln Heights, Highland Park, South Pasadena and Pasadena.
North-South Line (Trax II) – Salt Lake City, UT
Through close coordination with the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), Salt Lake City and utility owners, Gilbert Western Corp. constructed the 1.5-mile downtown section of the North-South Light Rail nine months ahead of schedule. The Associated General Contractors awarded Gilbert Western Corp. its 1999 Project of the Year Award for successful completion of the project.
I-25 T-REX Project - Light Rail Transit – Denver, CO
This Kiewit-led joint venture project involved a 17-mile reconstruction of two interstate highways while simultaneously adding 19 miles of new LRT line and 13 new stations. Completed in 2006, the $1.2 billion T-REX Project increases transit options, enhances safety, replaces aging infrastructure and significantly reduces travel time.
