California Engineerin Contractors - Bay Bridge Cut in Two Recognized as one of the West Coast's most reputable and reliable heavy construction contractors, California Engineering Contractors Inc.(CEC) regularly and successfully tackles difficult, complex projects with skill and apparent ease, consistently delivering top-quality work on time and within budget.

The company's experience now includes virtually all types and sizes of public works projects - railroad construction, seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of major structures, bridge construction, marine construction, flood control structures, tunnel retrofit/rehabilitation, and other infrastructure-related projects.

West Span Dampers Project Completed


CEC recently completed the project to replace 96 seismic dampers on the Bay Bridge for Caltrans. Access under a bridge is always challenging. CEC used 8 suspended truss platforms that stretched across the width of the bridge to perform the work on those dampers that were at the lower chord of the truss. The final phase of the project was to remove the platforms, as seen in the video above and the photos found here. At least 3 cranes were needed for this middle-of-the-night operation, including one on the top deck, one on the lower deck and one on a barge on the water.
