SFOBB East Span Seismic Safety Project San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge East Span Seismic Safety Project

SFOBB East Span Seismic Safety Project SAS Constructability Workshop Self-Anchored Suspension Span consists of a 160-meter single steel tower with a main cable and inclined suspenders supporting two steel orthotropic decks of a 385-meter main span and a 180-meter back span. The workshop will concentrate on identification of Constructability issues for the tower and orthotropic boxes.

SFOBB East Span Seismic Safety Project Participants Contractors that plan to bid SAS/YBI contract steel, fabrication firms that plan to submit estimates steel plate suppliers, and Caltrans Project Manager

SFOBB East Span Seismic Safety Project Purpose is to identify the capacity of the domestic steel market to produce plate steel for orthotropic boxes and tower what is fabricators ability to fabricate and transport pieces what affects contractors ability to bid the project due to the above issues

SFOBB East Span Seismic Safety Project Purpose is to identify contractors Constructability concerns concerns with the tower “pick”
