The Exxon refinery in Martinez needed to repair the corrosion coating on approximately 35 feet of a 20-inch diameter petroleum pipeline extending adjacent to a levee road and Interstate 680. AKA performed geotechnical studies to assess requirements for the shoring design required to access the pipeline through an area underlain by soft marsh soils and a high water table.

Stege Sanitary District operates the sanitation system for sections of the northern East Bay. A replacement pipeline was proposed in the Kensington area immediately adjacent to the active Blakemont Landslide. AKA performed subsurface studies to provide a subsurface characterization to aid in the design of the replacement pipeline.
