Abstract
The Alameda Corridor project is a 20-mile railroad cargo expressline that will connect the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to the transcontinental rail network east of Los Angeles. Once completed, the corridor will create a fast and efficient way to move cargo through United States and overseas world markets. The midcorridor section of the project consists of a 10-mile long, 33-ft descent into a by-railway Trench. Although this Trench will be the featured portion of the midcorridor project, the construction of a by-pass track will facilitate cargo-laden freight passage while the Trench is constructed as well as provide access for local businesses after completed. On its path from the ports to downtown Los Angeles this massive construction project will traverse potential noise and vibration-sensitive areas that house single and multi-family residences, motels, schools, daycare centers, parks, and churches. One of the greatest challenges encountered with projects of this magnitude is the successful control of construction and operational noise and vibration. The presentation will focus on various noise and vibration control methods that have been implemented as part of an abatement program. The scope of this successful program includes monitoring, equipment noise certification, and impact studies.
