This document provides an overview of the setup and operations of a precast segmental casting yard for the Tukwila Link Light Rail Project. It describes the layout of the yard including areas for casting typical segments, pier segments, and balanced cantilever segments using matchcasting forms and rebar jigs. It also discusses the daily operations for casting different segment types and storing segments before shipping them to the construction site for erection.
