Projects

The Vale View Estates project consists of a housing track featuring a neighborhood of homes on 1/2 acre cul-de-sac lots. The community is located just off I-78 in Vista. The homes are up to 3,421 square feet, featuring four beds, three and a half baths, outdoor living spaces, open floor plans, great rooms, and large kitchens.

This 40-story, 283 unit, Risk Level 2 residential tower is located in Century City, at 10000 Santa Monica Blvd.

Twining was tasked with developing the materials testing program and providing a condition assessment for this project. Our scope of services consisted of:

The 12-story luxury hotel featured 170 guest rooms, plus storefronts with luxury retail. This project had two parts, the hotel and residential components. The hotel featured four acres of open space and “secret” gardens, as well as a three-story lobby with murals of California landscapes, and a large clock similar to the one in the Waldorf Astoria in New York. Part two of this project included two condo towers and consisted of 110 units. Tower one reached 18-stories and began construction as the hotel finishes.

Twining provided Geotechnical Investigations and a Fault Investigation for proposed critical developments at a military base in a seismically-active region of California. The investigations were governed by and ultimately approved by NAVFAC. The proposed project consists of six new structures (including aircraft and weapons hangars, air traffic control tower, and a fire station) with appurtenant improvements including aircraft pavements and aprons, vehicle-trafficked pavements, and heavily-loaded slabs on grade. Based on our analyses, we provided various options for foundation design and provided recommendations for set backs from existing nearby faults.

This project consists of the renovation and expansion of the existing 15,798-square-foot historic courthouse located in the City of Willows. The existing courthouse was constructed in 1894 and will be expanded from a one-courtroom facility, to a three-courtroom facility, adding over 20,000-square-feet. Specific project details include:

The Silver Lake Reservoir Complex (SLRC) Bypass Project is part of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s (LADWP) compliance efforts to address updated State and Federal drinking water quality regulations. These regulations required the LADWP to cover treated water stored in its open reservoirs.

As the existing four post-tensioned concrete tanks reach the end of their service life, the City of Santa Cruz has decided to replace the tanks as well as their related equipment, piping, and other appurtenances. Also included in this project is the construction of a new electrical building, several retaining walls, and the widening of the access roadway.

Twining currently holds an on-call contract with the City of Sacramento and was tasked to provide materials testing and inspection on this project. For the Groundwater Flush to Waste Improvements projects, we are providing the testing and inspection services:
