ENSAT's team of telecommunications managers recently constructed six (6) fiber optic repeater sites along Route 99 in the San Joaquin Valley to link existing systems in the San Francisco Bay Area to the Los Angeles Basin. Project scope of work consisted of grading, construction of shelter and fuel tank pads, installation of grounding and electrical systems, installation of emergency propane/diesel power systems, and installation of equipment shelters and generator shelters. Due to environmental constraints, the project required special adaptations, including a five foot increase in the elevation of all buildings on the site due to floodplain constraints. ENSAT engineers devised innovative solutions to these constraints, including subgrade footers, and an elevated steel platform structure. Target project completion date is March 2000
