Southern California International Gateway<br />
<strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong> is Burlington Northern Santa Fe’s prime consultant for this l<strong>and</strong>mark project, which consists of planning<br />
<strong>and</strong> design of the development of the Southern California International Gateway facility. Project facilities include<br />
working tracks, lead tracks <strong>and</strong> storage tracks, pavement <strong>and</strong> crane runways, grading <strong>and</strong> drainage design, entry <strong>and</strong> exit<br />
gate design, facility design, <strong>and</strong> electrical service <strong>and</strong> lighting. Also included is the design of grade separation structures<br />
at Pacific Coast Highway <strong>and</strong> at Sepulveda Boulevard, as well as the expansion of an existing railroad bridge over<br />
Dominguez Channel, <strong>and</strong> various ancillary buildings, facilities, <strong>and</strong> operating systems.<br />
James D. Mason Intermodal Terminal, Garden City Terminal<br />
<strong>Moffatt</strong> & <strong>Nichol</strong> provided master planning for the James D. Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) at<br />
GPA’s Garden City Terminal. The Master Plan presented alternatives for working <strong>and</strong> storage rail tracks, <strong>and</strong> provided<br />
for a throughput-driven development that could be phased in size, operational density, <strong>and</strong> lift equipment. The track<br />
spacing <strong>and</strong> infrastructure can accommodate transition from front-end loaders to rubber-tired or rail mounted gantry<br />
cranes. The facility provides the infrastructure for Class I rail service by Norfolk-Southern.<br />
The dedicated facility is directly adjacent <strong>and</strong> linked to the terminal via Gate 7. The original facility includes four 2,500<br />
foot working tracks, one 2,500 foot runaround track, <strong>and</strong> two 2,500 foot storage tracks. It was designed to minimize<br />
operations on the Foundation Lead <strong>and</strong> to minimize crossing delay time at two nearby at-grade roadway crossings. The<br />
future buildout of the facility includes twelve working tracks totaling approximately 33,000 feet <strong>and</strong> storage tracks totaling<br />
approximately 35,000 feet. In addition, an 8 acre buffering area will be provided adjacent to the working tracks<br />
to facilitate the marshalling of containers bound to <strong>and</strong> from the container yard.<br />
