Two similar multi-story LEED accredited office buildings, TYLI completed ADA
compliance surveys and reports for the structures and the surrounding parking
areas following the construction of the building.
Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen, Norcross, Georgia
The conversion of an existing fast service restaurant into the new prototype
restaurant for the Popeye’s chain required the structure and the site to be brought
into current accessibility standards. In this situation, this required the complete
regrading of the parking stalls and accessible route and a small exterior addition
to incorporate a compliant restroom design.
McDonald’s Restaurants USA, LLC, Various Locations throughout Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and Tennessee
TYLI has been the primary consultant for McDonald’s USA, LLC southeast region for multiple years running, and has been the sole accessibility compliance specialist
throughout this time. With over 700 stores in the region, we have helped the corporation as well as the individual owners and operators develop compliance plans and
workable solutions for their accessibility needs.
Government offices and agencies, commercial establishments,
and businesses both large and small are affected by the growing
effects of accessibility compliance. TYLI alone has applied its
expertise to over 100 buildings and sites in over seven states
in the last three years alone by completing accessibility reports
outlining areas of non-compliance, formulating remediation
plans, and providing recommendations and designs for achieving
compliance. In addition, compliance is also integral in every
project we design in-house across multiple disciplines. Whether
the location is old or new, big or small, every detail must be
examined for compliance.

Delivering
Quality Compartment C Pump Station, Hendry County, Florida
TYLI performed construction oversight and management services for a new 8,800-
acre stormwater treatment facility that included a 1,630-cfs pump station. TYLI on-
site representatives documented the construction; responded to RFIs, RFPs, change
orders, field orders, and value engineering submittals; reviewed and modified
construction schedules; administered project controls; wrote milestone reports; and
performed contract closeouts, commissioning, and payment applications.
Erie County Public Safety Campus, Buffalo, New York
This $33M modern high-rise building was developed to house several municipal
agencies, including state-of-the-art 911 Emergency Communications Center and
a County Emergency Operations Command Center. This resulted in an “Essential
Facility” classification under NYS Building Code, triggering more extensive
analysis and additional code requirements. FRA recommended extensive passive
and active fire detection, fire suppression, and life safety features for these
unique occupancies.
Rochester Institute of Technology Gordon Field House and
Activity Center, Henrietta, New York
FRA performed municipal plan review and approval of this project on behalf of
the Town of Henrietta under our ongoing consultant agreement for plan review,
construction approval and code consulting services. The 160,000-square foot,
$25M structure is actually an addition to a series of buildings now known as
the Student Life Complex. Due to the maximum occupant load capacity of
approximately 8,000 people, special life and fire safety features were required.
Peek‘n Peak Resort, Findley Lake, New York
When this client came to FRA, several buildings at their ski resort were not being
designed or constructed in compliance with NYS building codes. Despite work
orders being stopped, the client had continued to build, and was now faced with
criminal charges, among other problems. By providing compliant alternative design
recommendations and negotiating a compromise with local officials on our client’s
behalf, the property owners were able to avoid severe legal penalties, resume
construction, rehire 35 workers, and open for business the following season.
New York Wine and Culinary Center, Canandaigua, New York
An educational showcase for New York’s food and wine industries, the New York Wine and Culinary Center facilities house classrooms, gallery space, a retail store, and
gathering/assembly spaces. FRA completed a plan review report to accompany the contractor’s permit application packages. Our team was able to identify compliance
issues, including incorrect construction classification and missing sprinkler systems, early in the design phase, saving the client time and money.

Experience,
Recognized
Expertise
Al Anbar Judicial Complex (Ramadi Rule of Law), Iraq
FRA provided design review services in accordance with the international building
code for this project, which involved the construction of a judicial complex on the
site of the former Saddam Hussein family compound. Vast differences in building
use and operation, resulting from cultural and security requirements, presented
many challenges during this project. For instance, as a water supply for sprinkler
systems is not always available, emergency window exits were provided in each
occupied area.
I-4 Lake Ivanhoe Pedestrian Bridge, Orlando, Florida
TYLI provided preliminary and final design services for the new pedestrian bridge
over Lake Ivanhoe. The bridge and trails encompass 2,500 feet and complete
the loop around this lake, providing connectivity within the larger Urban Trail
System of Orlando. TYLI conducted a type selection process that narrowed five
concepts down to one, culminating in an arch bridge design.
Crooked River Bridge, Terrebonne, Oregon
The grandeur of the Crooked River gorge coupled with the adjacent, historic
McCullough Bridges demanded a careful consideration of architecture and
bridge type. Listening to citizen groups and the Owner, and keeping in mind the
unique site constraints, TYLI came up with a cost-effective, landmark structure,
proving that context sensitive designs needn’t come with a high price tag.
Stewart Street Bridge, Dayton, Ohio
TYLI provided context sensitive solutions for the replacement of this historic
bridge that crosses the Little Miami River in downtown Dayton. The five-span
arch bridge, which was originally constructed in 1911, is a vital transportation
corridor for Dayton residents, businesses, and visitors. It also features a man-
made flood diversion channel.
Olympia-Yashiro Friendship Bridge, Olympia, Washington
The City of Olympia needed a flexible, creative consultant who would
embrace the community’s vision and values. For this project, a high degree
of collaboration between engineer, architect, and public artist was required
to design an aesthetically pleasing yet functional bridge that promoted
alternative modes of transportation.
Lowry Avenue Bridge, Hennepin County, Minnesota
It all comes down to understanding the requirements of a project and tackling
them early on. Hennepin County Department of Transportation called upon TYLI
to lead this headline-grabbing project, the management of which would stand
up to the scrutiny of Minneapolis residents. The resulting bridge promises to
revitalize a major transportation corridor.
North Torrey Pines Road Bridge, San Diego, California
TYLI used the pristine setting of Los Pensaquitos Lagoon as inspiration for the design of a superlative structure that blended beautifully into the natural environment.
Emphasizing aesthetic treatments that were compatible with the color and shape of the surrounding bluffs, TYLI engineers brought their design before a planning group that
voted unanimously in favor of a haunched box girder bridge.
T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) has long been involved in design charrettes,
collaborating with community stakeholders to design iconic bridges. For TYLI,
partnering with community members and other project participants early
on in a transparent decision-making process not only fosters a respectful
and positive relationship between interested parties, but also poses creative
challenges that drive our brightest professionals to solve engineering
problems from a multitude of vantage points. This integrative practice can be
challenging, but the results speak for themselves with structures that represent
a transformative experience for the communities they serve.
Whatever your requirements—be it an economical solution for rehabilitating a
historic structure located on environmentally sensitive terrain, or a strategy for
bringing consensus to those with disparate notions of what’s possible—TYLI is
your Context-Sensitive Solutions (CSS) firm.
Unifying
Projects and
Communities Cypress Avenue Bridge, Redding, California
TYLI served as the prime engineering consultant to the City of Redding for this
project, which widened Cypress Avenue from four to six lanes, and includes the

2. BART Silicon Valley Berryessa Extension, Santa Clara County, California
TYLI is providing design services for Phase 1 of the $2.3B, 10-mile Bay Area
Rapid Transit (BART) line extension from Fremont to San Jose. For this $800M
contract, our Scheduling Team is developing a design schedule that will tie into
the nearly 8,000-activity project schedule. The internal design schedule will
utilize “hold points” for design approvals, deliverable milestones, design package
coordination, and QC activities to ensure coordination with the JV team.
Willamette River Bridge, Eugene, Oregon
In addition to bridge and civil design, TYLI provided design scheduling for this
$150M, CM/CG contract, the largest project ever delivered by ODOT and
the first using this contract type. TYLI developed and maintained a cost-loaded
schedule, and completed significant modifications to the baseline design
schedule to accommodate the contractor’s construction schedule.
Sellwood Bridge, Multnomah County, Oregon
For the Type, Size, and Location (TS&L) phase, the Scheduling Team developed
14 construction schedules, one for each design alternative. They included
construction activities logically tied to form a fully functional construction
schedule. During design, the team created and maintained a multipurpose
schedule with over 1,000 activities. TYLI played a crucial role in meeting the very
aggressive timeline of this signature structure.
ACCELER8 Program: Everglades Restoration, Hendry County, Florida
TYLI is providing construction management (including schedule and cost control
analysis) of areas requiring storm water improvements for the SFWMD. TYLI used
Primavera P3e/c to create individual schedules for each area and merged them
into a master schedule that is updated monthly and cost loaded with design, land
acquisition, permitting, and construction budgets. TYLI’s schedule-related tasks run
parallel with the Construction Management/Construction Inspection Service team.
Indian River Bridge, Sussex County, Delaware
TYLI provided scheduling review and analysis for this $150M Design-Build
project. We reviewed monthly schedule updates, revisions, and completed
forensic analysis of the construction contractor’s schedule using Primavera P6,
including review and analysis for multiple baseline schedule revisions, weather
extensions, stop work orders, and force majeure events (Hurricane Irene).
OR 43: Willamette River Bridge Construction Scheduling, Oregon City, Oregon
This complex bridge rehabilitation endeavor was experiencing numerous changes to the scope of work as a result of unforeseen field conditions. The Agency committed to
having the bridge open for traffic by September 15, 2012. TYLI’s Scheduling Team was not brought on board until eight months after the construction contractor was given
Notice to Proceed. To meet or exceed the needs of the owner, TYLI provided both a thorough review of the construction contractor’s CPM schedule, as well as an assessment
for meeting the critical path. Our review showed the arrangement of activities in the contemporaneous schedule would not provide an acceptable course to meeting the
deadline. TYLI schedulers participated in real time sessions with the client and the construction contractor to develop a modified schedule that would lead to meeting the
critical “Bridge Open to Traffic” milestone.
Since 1954, T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) has provided cutting-edge work in
design, construction, and other industry-related services. Our growth into
scheduling services, both internally and externally, is no exception to this
trend. Since 2009, our Scheduling Team of dedicated schedulers and a
cadre of support personnel have provided intricate scheduling services for a
number of clients on several notable projects. Our CPM services include: initial
schedule development for both construction- and design-related activities;
forensic schedule creations and analysis from contemporaneous project
documentation; providing clients with Time Impact Analysis (TIA), providing
compensatory claims analysis based upon schedule impacts; and providing
routine monitoring and maintenance of schedules for clients who need
assistance with CPM-based schedules. We also provide Project Controls metrics
for resource- and cost-loaded schedules, including Resource Usage Analysis
and Reports, Cost Flow Reports, Earned Value Charts and Reports, Claims/
Change Order Tracking Assistance, and many other tailored report services.
Achieving
Milestones Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit (PMLRT) Bridge, Portland, Oregon
The 1,720-foot-long bridge is a hybrid between a traditional cable-stayed
layout and an extradosed bridge, with two towers and two landside piers. Once
constructed, the PMLRT Bridge will be the nation’s largest transit bridge for only
light rail trains, pedestrians, and bicycles. The TYLI Scheduling Team created the
project CPM design schedule including resource loading for manpower, activity
cost loading, and quality control capture activities for key deliverable submittals.
Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, Washington, DC
TYLI’s planning and design for this 16-mile, multi-use Riverwalk Trail follows both
Anacostia National Park and City property along the eastern and western banks
of the Anacostia River, providing bicyclists and pedestrians with access to the
waterfront, and creating connections with adjacent neighborhoods and transit
stations.
Erie Canal Aqueduct, Erie, New York
TYLI created a master plan for the Historic Erie Canal Aqueduct and surrounding
Broad Street corridor. Historic interpretation, establishment of a niche canal
district, creative reuse strategies, phased public improvements, and incentivizing
private investments were the primary goals of the project. TYLI’s master plan is
envisioned to act as a catalyst, resurrecting the Erie Canal Aqueduct of 1842 to
a place of prominence and public gathering in the community.
Chicago Department of Transportation Bicycle Program,
Chicago, Illinois
TYLI is responsible for managing the planning and engineering component of
the City of Chicago’s successful Bicycle Program. TYLI has helped Chicago, a
national model for integrating bicycling as an integrated mode of transportation,
to expand its network of on-street bike lanes and shared lanes totaling more than
140 miles to date.
Hamilton Train Station Parking Deck, Mercer County, New Jersey
A 2,000-space commuter parking deck adjacent to New Jersey Transit’s
Hamilton train station serves as the cornerstone for a transit-oriented
redevelopment project that incorporates a “Smart Growth” plan. The plan
addresses increasing ridership while at the same time promotes the area’s
economic revitalization. TYLI provided a complete range of services that included
civil and traffic engineering as well as site plan preparation.
Miami Intermodal Center—Miami International Airport
Automated People Mover, Miami, Florida
TYLI’s design and construction administration of a new Automated People Mover
(APM) connecting the Miami Intermodal Center to Miami International Airport’s
landside terminal pedestrian bridges and parking garage structures, will serve as
a transportation hub for highway, transit, and rail systems. The APM includes two
new elevated stations and a 1.2-mile-long guideway structure.
I-580 Corridor, Eastern Alameda County, California
The I-580 Corridor is a vital transportation link connecting the San Francisco Bay Area with the Tri-Valley and the Central Valley areas. As a result of rapid growth, this 10-mile
freeway ranks among the most congested corridors in the region. This corridor accommodates Bay Area Rapid Transit’s (BART) extension in the median of the freeway, and uses
advanced technologies and real-time system management techniques to balance traffic flows and speed. TYLI’s planning and detailed design of a full multi-modal solution
for this corridor included widening eastbound I-580 to five lanes, providing for BART trains in the corridor median, creating high-occupancy-vehicle and auxiliary lanes, and
adding a high-occupancy toll lane. Additionally, TYLI created an integrated transportation management plan for the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems at targeted
locations along I-580. The resulting improvements significantly facilitated mobility for both people and goods by reducing congestion and providing transit links to passengers.
Words like sustainability, energy efficiency, and green living are more than
buzz words; they are a part of our core values. Whether T.Y. Lin International
(TYLI) has been charged with solving traffic congestion problems or meeting
tomorrow’s mobility demands, we embrace the principles of sustainable and
constructible design. This “big picture” understanding guides us in addressing
the heart of a community’s concerns, while also meeting the practical issues
at hand.
Taking advantage of available tools and renewable resources, we create
multi-modal plans that maximize travel efficiency, address increased
urban density, and promote regional interconnectivity. We also work with
stakeholders on such issues as how to improve a region’s economic viability
or how to balance travel demand with land use factors. What results is
a multi-layered plan that gives people real transportation choices while
enhancing their quality of life.
Sustainable
& Practical
Solutions Sustainable Freight Strategy, Portland, Oregon
TYLI is creating a sustainable freight strategy with the Bureau of Transportation that
incorporates access to alternative-fuel and electricity facilities. Our strategy identi-
fies options for shippers and carriers to efficiently move goods in a dense, mixed-
use environment, and is supported by research we are conducting on sustainable
equipment and practices. We are also reporting on the experiences of five cities
seeking to reduce their carbon footprint associated with freight movements.
Bridges at Lancer Park, Farmville, Virginia
The Longwood University Real Estate Foundation retained the design-build
team of TYLI and English Construction Company to engineer and construct
two new bridges and associated approaches and ramps. The project included
close coordination with the Owner and the Town of Farmville. The project also
included a presentation of the design concept before the Art and Architecture
Review Board (AARB).
Second Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Tacoma, Washington
TYLI provided design review, design specifications, and construction cost
estimating for the $450 million Second Tacoma Narrows Bridge. TYLI developed
a complete means and methods for construction and a complete cost-based
construction estimate. This “bottom-up” cost estimate was far more elaborate
than the traditional engineering cost estimate, and paralleled the process of a
general contractor for bidding major works.
Palmetto Expressway DB-Finance, Miami, Florida
The team of TYLI, Condotte American-Demoya Construction JV, and BCC
Engineering was awarded this project involving three miles of expressway and
three interchanges. The scope included widening the mainline in each direction,
adding auxiliary lanes, and improving the interchanges along the mainline and
interchange ramps. The team reduced the maximum bid price to $177 million,
saving over $50 million and reducing construction time by 1,300 calendar days!
I-15 Corridor Reconstruction, Salt Lake City, Utah
TYLI served as the structural consultant for this $1.6 billion reconstruction of
I-15. Seventeen miles of freeway and 144 bridges were designed, removed, and
rebuilt in less than five years. The bridges of various spans, types, and geometric
configurations included Single-Point Urban Interchanges (SPUI), overpasses,
double overhang overpasses, viaducts, and flyovers. TYLI engineers designed
seven overpasses and one ramp approximately three months ahead of schedule.
Yadkin River Bridge, Davie-Forsyth Counties, North Carolina
NCDOT contracted with the design-build team of English Construction and TYLI
to replace this major river crossing. The project is 0.7 miles and includes the
design and construction of an 1150-foot, four-lane bridge and the demolition of
the existing two-lane structure. TYLI provided design management and structure
design services. The team analyzed five types of structures, resulting in the choice
of a precast concrete bridge.
Elk Creek to Hardscrabble Creek, Drain and Elkton, Oregon
Design-builder partners TYLI and Slayden Construction Group worked together to design and construct five replacement bridges between the towns of Elkton and Drain
along highway OR 38. TYLI’s design incorporated use of the rapid bridge construction technique in which two of the five structures were built adjacent to the existing
structures, and then “slid” into place on permanent supports. Time it took to deploy? One weekend.
When it comes to the alternative delivery method, the professionals
at T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) understand what it means to work as
an integrated team to reach project goals. Many owners turn to the
alternative delivery method in order to increase value, manage risk,
and accelerate delivery. In this developing project delivery arena, TYLI
has established a reputation for designing structures with optimum
construction ease in mind, supporting the building efforts of the
largest contractors in the industry. Our blend of advanced design and
practical construction talent instills confidence, making the decision
easy for transportation officials who demand absolute accountability
for their alternative delivery projects.
Exceeding
Expectations
& Delivering
Quality
US 20 Pioneer Mountain to Eddyville, Eddyville, Oregon
The $129 million project involved realigning 8 miles of rural US 20 and
constructing eight new and one replacement structures. The replacement bridge
design accommodated a fast-track change-out using a 36-hour road closure to
minimize traffic disruption. TYLI managed a multi-disciplinary group of sub-
consultants and performed all bridge designs as well as Quality Assurance and
Control of roadway designs, and construction engineering services.

Church Street Parking Garage, Saratoga Springs, NY
Encompassing approximately 72,000 square feet, this 230-space open
parking garage features a uniquely designed exterior comprised of pre-cast
panels with arches and stained brick to complement the City’s historic Central
Business District. A design-build project, TYLI’s responsibilities included site
design, structural design, code review and fire protection.
University of Rochester Medical Center Parking Garage, Rochester, NY
Performed under the Construction Manager at Risk project delivery system,
TYLI served as prime consultant for this seven-level, 685-space addition to an
existing parking garage. Our team completed the design development and
construction document phases of this fast-track project within seven weeks.
The addition was designed to match the existing structure, and consists of
cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete slabs and beams supported by concrete
columns on spread footings.
South Avenue Parking Garage, Rochester, NY
After three levels of this garage’s exit helix ramp collapsed, TYLI was tasked
with preparing design alternatives for its reconstruction. Our design team
introduced the idea of using the situation to transform the garage’s location
into a more vibrant intersection consistent with the City’s vision for downtown,
as well as proposing that the garage could function without the exit helix ramp
if relatively minor changes were made to its existing structure — saving the
City the $1M cost of rebuilding the helix.
Cayuga Green Revitalization Project, Ithaca, NY
TYLI provided the structural and site design for this new 1,400-space, cast-in-place, post-tensioned parking structure, as well as the relocation of a regional transit
facility to the ground level of the garage. Constructed under a newly adopted New York State Building Code, the TYLI team incorporated a complete seismic analysis in
the lateral force restraint system design, as well as using a 3-D STAAD model in order to fully understand the structure’s response to a seismic event. This design-build
project was sponsored by the City of Ithaca and was progressed using the Construction Manager at Risk project delivery system.
Parking garage design and rehabilitation are particular strong points

3. Faith Village, Brighton, NY
This 70-acre church campus is being developed to include a 3,500-seat
sanctuary, K-12 school, senior living facility, parsonage, family life center, and full
athletic fields. In addition to completing and submitting SEQRA documentation
to the Town, FRA is responsible for the survey, site engineering, site layout, and
traffic analysis, as well as conducting community involvement initiatives.
Town of York Comprehensive Plan Update, York, NY
The Town of York selected FRA to complete their comprehensive plan update as
they tried to balance the pressures of increased development, while preserving
the rural character of the community. Specific issues that were explored included
the impact of demographic changes, infrastructure investments, development
pressures and patterns, and the need to protect open space and environmental
assets. A transportation assessment was also completed, focused on improving
safety, access, and function of major roadways.
New York State Access Management Studies for NYSDOT, Statewide, NY
FRA was awarded a two-year term contract to assist the New York State
Department of Transportation in developing studies that would minimize the
transportation impacts of development, and more closely link transportation
improvements and operations to local economic and quality-of-life objectives.
The results and recommendations of these studies are being used to revise

Routes 5 & 20 Corridor Study, Canandaigua to Lima, NY
This scenic corridor serves the needs of truckers, tourists, pedestrians, and
area residents. FRA’s role for the planning study included developing a vision
for the corridor and identifying access and traffic management techniques
that would minimize safety hazards while maximizing roadway function.
These recommendations were presented in a format suitable for adoption by
municipalities. As a result, the corridor was awarded a NYS Council on the Arts
grant to implement the recommendations outlined in the study.
Caiyuanba Bridge, Chongqing, China
Located in the “Bridge Capital of China,” the world’s longest basket-handle
arch bridge was designed with an eye toward aesthetics. A pair of steel boxes
forms the arches, giving the bridge its slender appearance, while the arch ribs
incline inward, making the bridge seem lightweight. Its combined beauty and
functionality (carrying both highway and rail traffic on it’s double-deck truss) led
the owner to hail the design as a perfect blend of form and function.
Illinois High Speed Rail Engineering, Springfield, Illinois
The Illinois High Speed Rail project was the first of the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act rail corridors to initiate actual construction. TYLI served
as an extension of railroad staff, assisting the Union Pacific Railroad with

Train), Lima-Callao Line 1. Our team conducted several checks of existing bridge
modules and a check of the recently constructed elevated viaduct guideway
which runs along a north-south alignment over two medians in downtown Lima.
The guideway will eventually cross a major freeway.
Taiwan High Speed Rail, Taiwan
For this Build-Operate-Transfer mega-project, TYLI performed the preliminary
and final designs for 25 elevated bridges representing a total length of
approximately 30km. Undaunted by the project’s magnitude and complexity,
engineers designed an energy-dissipating locking system to limit the bridge
superstructure displacement to within five mm under train braking and
acceleration forces.
Tempe Town Lake Transit, Tempe, Arizona
This award-winning design borrows from the old rail bridge but adds modern
touches that no one could have imagined in 1912. TYLI designed for the City
of Tempe an iconic gateway that complements the Union Pacific Railroad bridge
and incorporates LED lighting activated by the trains crossing the structure.
Exponential population growth in urban areas, coupled with
diminishing opportunities to expand existing transportation systems
means innovative solutions for moving people and goods is critical
to the world’s economic future. T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) provides

of the sites include crossings of Interstate 8, which carries an average of over 250,000 vehicles per day.
Maritime Development Alternative Study, Oakland, California
The Port of Oakland’s Vision 2000 Program implemented construction of two
fully modern marine terminals, the Middle Harbor Road Realignment, the Joint
Intermodal Terminal (JIT), the creation of Middle Harbor Shoreline Park (MHSP),
and channel dredging. TYLI was the roadway planning and traffic analysis
consultant for this endeavor.
Port of Miami Cruise Terminals D & E, Miami, Florida
TYLI was responsible for performing a cost analysis of the complete proposed
engineering designs to determine possible alternatives. The purpose was to
optimize the design in relation to short-term capital cost, as well as long-term
costs such as those for maintenance and energy. The firm produced alternatives
to the proposed design with a consequential savings of over $2.7M.
Intermodal Cargo Transfer Facility (ICTF), Port Everglades, Florida
TYLI prepared a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA), evaluated
potential wetland involvement, and investigated the requirements necessary
for permits for the ICTF project. Following the Phase I ESA, a limited Phase 2
Baseline Assessment was performed to evaluate subsurface conditions (soil and
groundwater) and establish pre-existing conditions prior to development of the
site.
Port of Miami Government Cut Utilities Relocation, Miami, Florida
TYLI was responsible for the development of an Environmental Compliance
Plan for the replacement of a 20-inch water main and a 54-inch sewer force
main beneath the Government Cut Channel near the Port of Miami. The work
was to be performed within the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve (Outstanding
Florida Waters) to facilitate the dredging of the Government Cut project to
accommodate the new cargo shipping capacity.
Sears Island Marine Dry Cargo Terminal, Searsport, Maine
TYLI served as the prime engineering consultant to the Maine Department of
Transportation for planning and design of the proposed Sears Island Marine
Dry Cargo Terminal in Searsport, Maine. Facilities designed by TYLI include
roadways, railroad sidings, storage areas, stormwater drainage systems, utility
services (sewers and water mains), and an office/maintenance building.
Port of Miami Tunnel, Miami, Florida
The Port of Miami Tunnel Project (US $1.5 Billion) consists of three components: a tunnel connection between Watson Island and the Port of Miami, connections to the Port
of Miami roadway system, and a widening of the MacArthur Causeway bridge. The tunnel structure is 3,900 feet in length and is composed of two 36-foot-diameter tunnels,
connecting Watson Island and the Port of Miami beneath the main shipping channel in the Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve. TYLI served as a technical advisor for the Florida
Department of Transportation and is currently providing oversight on the construction engineering activities.

Commerce Port of Miami Crane Electrification, Miami, Florida
TYLI was responsible for performing a cost analysis of the complete proposed
electrical and mechanical design to determine possible alternatives. The purpose
was to optimize the design in relation to short-term capital cost, as well as long-
term costs such as those for maintenance and energy. TYLI produced alternatives
to the proposed design with a consequential savings of over $4.8M.
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Self-Anchored Suspension Span,
Oakland, California
TYLI, in a joint venture with Moffatt & Nichol, is currently providing complete
design services for the replacement of the 2.1-mile eastern span of the Bay
Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland. From conceptual and final design
through construction support services, TYLI has been involved in all phases of
developing the world’s longest single-tower, self-anchored suspension bridge.
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Eyebar Repair, Oakland, California
Caltrans maintenance discovered a cracked eyebar on the San Francisco-
Oakland Bay Bridge during an inspection in 2009 and immediately launched an
emergency repair effort, followed by the design of a permanent retrofit. The Bay
Area Toll Authority asked TYLI to provide an independent review of the Caltrans
design for the eyebar retrofit, which resulted in TYLI becoming intimately familiar
with the 1,400-foot-span cantilever truss.
Hoover Dam Bypass, Clark & Mohave Counties, Nevada & Colorado
The challenge? Design a bridge that complements the neighboring Hoover Dam.
TYLI engineers prevailed with a visually stunning concrete composite arch span
that crosses the rugged Black Canyon without overwhelming its famous other half,
creating a perfect match of form, function, and site unity. It is the longest concrete
arch bridge in the U.S. as well as the first hybrid bridge of its kind, combining a
composite steel deck with a segmental concrete arch and spandrels.
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Oakland Touchdown Detour,
Oakland, California
The Oakland Touchdown Detour project involves the realignment of the existing
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge at the Oakland Mole to make way for
the construction of the eastbound portion of the new bridge. The TYLI Team
was retained to assist Caltrans with preliminary concepts. Once the plan was
approved, TYLI was selected to be the prime structural designer for the project.
Lowry Avenue Bridge Replacement, Hennepin County, Minnesota
With the existing bridge already closed, TYLI was awarded a contract for final
design to deliver a revitalizing, aesthetically designed structure to serve as a
cornerstone for the re-birth of the community’s key corridor, and fast. Achieving
those goals required assembling a team with the tools and the aptitude to get the
job done quickly, but done right. 3D models of complex concepts and integrated
details were created throughout the design process. This was vital to identify
contractibility issues & reslove conflicts early, saving time & money for the client.
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East Tie-In Structure, Oakland, California
The East Tie-In Structure is part of the South-South Detour (SSD). The project involved detailed design and construction support of the roll-in/roll-out of a double deck,
300-foot-long bridge truss at a height of 150 feet. Now in operation, the structure enables motorists to travel freely while construction takes place on the new Yerba Buena
Island Transition Structures connecting the existing double deck configuration of the Yerba Buena Island tunnel to the new bridge. For this project, TYLI supported Caltrans in
active and continuous coordination with multiple agencies including the Metropolitan Transportation Agency, U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Highway Administration, and San
Francisco City Council as well as a dozen different consultant firms.
Imagine being able to fully envision the anatomy of a structure such as the
new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge before it’s even constructed. Every
detail—every piece of rebar, all the electrical systems, every joint—can
be studied down to the last bolt before construction commences. T.Y. Lin
International (TYLI) engineers have embraced such predictive technologies as
bridge information modeling (BrIM) to accelerate and optimize their designs.
Employing these applications, we can significantly expedite schedules and
make accurate cost estimates for the most complex structures. We use BrIM
models to generate data for the analysis of a structure, thereby making
informed decisions about the design process.
The more we know about the anatomy of a structure, the better a job we can
do to design a more effective, safer bridge. To design state-of-the-art bridges,
TYLI has taken the next leap in innovative engineering.
Informing
Design &
Construction Million Dollar Bridge, Cordova, Alaska
Originally constructed in 1911, the Million Dollar Bridge had been in need of
complete restoration and retrofitting for decades, when the Alaska Department
of Transportation and Public Facilities retained TYLI’s services in 2001 to develop
a retrofit scheme and final design for restoring the bridge to its former glory and
ensuring its use for future generations of Alaskans. The bridge is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.

Through a five-year ID/IQ contract with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region II, TYLI was awarded several task orders to perform updated hydraulic
studies and generate new Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRM) for the commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. TYLI studied hundreds of miles of
riverine and coastal environs using detailed hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and created hundreds of new DFIRM panels. Wave run-up models from tropical storms and
hurricanes were simulated to determine the impacts on the islands. Existing levees were also analyzed and inspected in conjunction with the US Army Corps of Engineers,
(USACE) Jacksonville district. The new panels were adopted by the respective governments and are currently in use.
H2
O — a simple balance of hydrogen and oxygen which produces
one of the most important elements of our existence — water, our
most sought natural resource. Throughout history, water has provided
ways for exploration, discovery, and life itself. However, this simple
combination of atoms can be as lethal as it is vital. Uncontrolled
water can have a devastating impact on nature and human life. It can
flood homes, businesses and roadways and defoliate the environment.
At T.Y. Lin International (TYLI) we work to create a balance between
nature and human progress through planning, educating and
coordinating with our most important people — our clients. We
study, mitigate and treat water in every facet of the environment. We
