The Crenshaw/LAX Transit Corridor project alignment runs north-south
and extends approximately 8.5 miles in Los Angeles, California.
The project alignment will be double-tracked and will be comprised of at-grade, aerial, and below-grade sections.
EMI provided geotechnical engineering for the Advanced Planning Study and Preliminary Engineering phases. Final design and construction were carried out with a design-build delivery method. The geotechnical services provided for this project included the following tasks:

- Field investigation (exploratory borings)
- Geotechnical in-situ soil testing and laboratory testing
- Chemical analysis of soil and water samples for hazardous materials
- Faulting crossing study using geophysical sounding and borings
- Geotechnical engineering to for foundation design and construction
- Preparation of preliminary geotechnical reports.
