Aztec Stadium Structure (Team 9)
The first project of the new SDSU Mission Valley Campus will be the 35,000 seat Aztec Stadium. The new stadium will bring San Diegans together at its centralized Mission Valley location. Masterworks Engineering was tasked with designing the stadium’s structural system for the East Stands. The team performed an in-depth geotechnical analysis to provide a sound foundation system to guarantee structural integrity. Additionally, the team generated an optimal construction plan that will minimize costs and impacts.

Naval Amphibious Base Coronado is a naval installation located in Coronado, California. The base, situated on the Silver Strand, between San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean, is a major Navy shore command, supporting over 30 tenant commands, and is the West Coast focal point for special and expeditionary warfare training and operations. The City of Coronado would like to replace the existing at-grade pedestrian crossing with a safe pedestrian-friendly tunnel under SR-75.
Escondido Pure Water Pipeline Creek Crossing (Team 1)
Presentation Board / Presentation Video / Exhibit 1
The City of Escondido is constructing a new water treatment facility requiring a new 24" diameter pipe that will cross through a lined trapezoidal channel. The options for crossing the channel include building a new pipe bridge to support the steel 24” pipe or utilizing a “jack and bore” under the channel to install the new 24” pipe. Our team will look at both options and provide the City with a design that we believe will be the best alternative.

At WATERCOR, we understand that as the City of Escondido expands, one of the most valuable resources for development and advancement is clean water. The Escondido Pure Water Pipeline Creek Crossing is a vital and demanding project to the expansion of Escondido and the success of the new recycled water treatment plant.
511 Oceanside Pump Station Project (Team 4)
Presentation Board / Presentation Video / Exhibit 1
The City of Oceanside 511 Pump Station Design-Build project consists of the design of a new potable water pump station and distribution pipeline that is to meet the increased flow capacity at the Mission Basin Groundwater Purification Facility. The scope of this project involves thorough evaluation of existing systems, a hydraulic analysis, project planning and scheduling, pump station and pipeline design, construction, and cost analysis.

Presentation Board / Presentation Video / Exhibit 1 / Exhibit 2
AMET Construction has completed a redesign of the Oceanside 511 Pump Station including a new pipeline and three new pumps for increased output. The project will provide an additional 4.5 million gallons of water per day to homes and businesses in the City of Oceanside.
High Street Crossing (Team 19)
Presentation Board / Presentation Video / Exhibit 1
The purpose of our project is re-engineering High Street Crossing near Spring Street Transit Station in the City of La Mesa. The main goals of the project are shortening the emergency response time for the military residence on High Street, promoting the use of transit, and reducing the associated carbon footprint. San Diego Student Designs' approach for the project is to design two alternatives and evaluate them, based on practical, social, and environmental aspects, and then use the optimum design to address the project goals.The purpose of our project is re-engineering High Street Crossing near Spring Street Transit Station in the City of La Mesa.

La Mesa Blvd. Complete Streets/Roundabouts (Team 2)
Presentation Board / Presentation Video / Exhibit 1
Our plan for this project is to reconfigure La Mesa Blvd. into a multi-model, transit-friendly corridor. The plan will reduce the roadway into two lanes, replace traffic signals with roundabouts, add buffered bike lanes, provide landscaped spaces and enhanced transit stops. Implantation will reduce speeds, improve walkability, increase transit and bicycle use, and enhance access to key destinations. The goal for this project is to provide a preliminary design for two lanes “complete street”.

Paradise Creek Flood Mitigation (Team 13)
Presentation Board / Presentation Video / Exhibit 1
San Diego experiences seasonal king tides between the months of December and February, which is also the rainy season. These tides can rise to more than 9’ above sea level, which when combined with heavy season rainfall, causes significant flooding problems for low lying areas. This project evaluated four alternatives for their ability to mitigate the flooding in National City south of Kimball Park.

Spring Street Transit Station - High Street Crossing (Team 15)
Presentation Board / Presentation Video
The project goal is to connect High Street with Spring Street in the most cost and time efficient way. Our group of engineers at Alesia Associates came up with the following alternative: High Street will connect to the transit station at the same elevation and become an intersection. After that, the elevation differences are to be evened out through filling pit material and then building a road on top of the man-made soil. Finally, the intersection will then connect to the parking lot through a sloped down road.
