Customer:
Sound Transit
Engineering Firm:
Mott MacDonald and Adkins
Project overview:
The Federal Way Link Extension will travel 7.8 miles south from Sea-Tac Airport to Federal Way, along the west side of Interstate 5. The project began construction in 2020 and is expected to open in 2026.
Skill demonstrated:
Our team includes two individuals with more than 50 years of combined document control experience, including work on five Sound Transit projects. They work collaboratively to process and manage documents in SharePoint, which at the time of this writing includes nearly 300,000 documents. They provide SharePoint support and training to a consultant and engineering team of more than 35 people and provide document management direction and training to the contractor’s document control team as well. They work directly with design build team members, Sound Transit document controllers, and the contractor’s document controllers to ensure all project documentation is properly collected, managed, and retained.
Milestones:
Final alignment for the line was chosen in January 2017. In July 2018, the project’s estimated cost was revised to $2.55 billion. Construction began in early 2020, which was commemorated with a virtual groundbreaking ceremony in observance of COVID-19 pandemic public health and safety measures. Sound Transit adopted the official names for the project’s three stations in June 2022.
The balanced cantilever bridge will be the longest span on the Link light rail system and is planned to be buried by soil after it is completed in September 2024. Light rail service to Federal Way is expected to start in 2026.
