March 1st, 2025
California Engineering Contractors, Inc. (CEC) is excited to announce that it recently completed all phases of construction on the Port of Oakland's Middle Harbor Berths (55-59) upgrade project which successfully increased the mooring capacity from vessels with 18,000 containers to now being able to accommodate vessels carrying 24,000 containers (Twenty Foot Equivalents).

CEC would like to especially thank its partners at the Port of Oakland and at Shibata Fender Team for their help in making this project such a success.
American River Constructors (a CEC and Granite Joint Venture) recently completed a tremie pour for scour protection of a pier in the American River
January 13th, 2025
Very early in the morning, American River Constructors (a CEC and Granite Joint Venture) recently completed a tremie pour for scour protection of a pier in the American River. This was the final underwater concrete pour of three piers. Placing the concrete, underwater, within the cofferdam, expands the pier foundations and protects them from high water flows during flooding on the American River. As the concrete is pumped in, an equal amount of water within the cofferdam is pumped out to be stored on-site and treated before being safely disposed of. Two large concrete pumps were used; one on land, feeding a second pumper truck on the barge, allowing the continuous flow of concrete from a series of trucks at the riverbank. CEC’s scheduling expertise and extensive marine equipment and experience ensured the smooth completion of this complex operation.
