2023 - Navajo Pipelines Yard Expansion

Project expanded construction yard to include neighboring parcel.

MRPE surveyed, designed, and prepared plans and processed permits for road frontage improvements including driveway and ADA ramps, site improvements, building demolition, grading, frontage improvements and IOD preparation.

The regulatory experience of this Project was like a tragic comedy. This site adjacent to this construction yard had a dilapidated and abandoned building that was occasionally occupied by the homeless. The construction company purchased the property, but when they asked to demolish the building, the city deemed it historic and required a several month process to approve. In the meantime, the city fined the owner for homeless continuing to break and enter the property. The city ultimately required right-of-way dedication, fencing, landscaping, ADA improvements and more just to remove this building and utilize this lot.

2021 – Richards Blvd Office Complex

Project constructed a new commercial building.

MRPE reviewed plans and recommend changes to grading, drainage and frontage improvements including driveways and ADA ramps.

MRPE has long assisted Hensel Phelps with problems that arise during construction, but this was the first time they had us review the plans before construction started. We found dozens of violations on both the site and frontage improvement plans and provided possible solutions.

2008 – San Joaquin County Administration Building

This project was to construct a new San Joaquin County Administration Building in Stockton, CA

MRPE surveyed the site during construction and analyzed the plans prepared by others to determine resolution to grading and drainage design errors. New grading and layout plans were provided for all site grading and frontage improvements.

This project was under construction and the foundation was in when they realized that the grading was not going to work as designed. MRPE also found significant road frontage design errors and omissions resulting in a completely new design prepared in about a week that the engineer a of record ultimately adopted, signed and stamped.

MRPE surveyed the site during construction and analyzed the plans prepared by others to determine the source of a 10' horizontal bust found during construction. New grading and layout plans were provided for all site grading and frontage improvements.

This project was under construction and the foundation was in when they realized that the loading ramps did not align with the docks on the building. The contractor and engineer had established different controls that go applied differently without the contractor's awareness. MRPE also found significant grading errors and omissions resulting in a completely new design prepared in about 48-hours.
