Home » Ironworkers Install Girder Splints at Troubled San Francisco Transit Hub
Field work to fix two fractured girders is underway at the troubled Salesforce Transit Center in San Francisco. The Transbay Joint Powers Authority expects the work to be done by early June, but TJPA has yet to announce a reopening date for the 1.2-million-sq-ft hub, shuttered since late September after the discovery of fractures in the bottom flanges of the two bridge-like girders that span 87 ft over Fremont Street. The depot had been operating for six weeks.
In another development, Pelli Clark Pelli Architects, the architect for the hub, confirms the public owner, TJPA, will pay PCPA some $5 million—$2 million for building-wide reviews to confirm the structure’s integrity and $3 million for work unrelated to the girder failures. It is the first payment since the fractures came to light.
