Client: Prologis & REDA
WLG is providing Professional Engineering Design to both Prologis and Real Estate Development Associates (REDA) for the City of Ontario’s New Model Colony (NMC) - Phase I, Master Planned Facilities located in South Ontario. Prologis is currently under construction for a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse, while REDA is under construction with their 1st phase; a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse. Both projects have a total area of approximately 165-acres. WLG is the prime on these two projects, providing on-site and off-site engineering services for Prologis and off-site services for REDA, which includes the design and coordination of three major roadways (Merrill, Carpenter, and Eucalyptus Avenues) including all the associated master planned facilities. Facilities contain both wet and dry utilities including a double 12’Wx10’H RCB storm drain from Carpenter Avenue to the Cucamonga Creek Channel within Merrill Avenue that ties into the Cucamonga Creek Channel; approximately two miles of domestic water and recycled water lines (REDA Loop); Carpenter Avenue to Archibald Avenue within Merrill Avenue and Eucalyptus Avenue including jack and bore design to go under the Cucamonga Creek Channel; a new bridge at Eucalyptus Avenue and bridge expansion at Merrill Avenue over the Cucamonga Creek Channel; and the relocation of IEUA’s 30” recycled water transmission main and pressure reducing station within Carpenter Avenue. The on-site storm drain mitigation system pictured includes two underground infiltration basins with 96” diameter perforated CMP pipes throughout. The northern system is 1,032 feet by 74 feet that have a volume capacity of 153,357 cubic feet. The southern system is 1174 feet by 74 feet with a volume capacity of 587,870 cubic feet. Design and coordination efforts include agencies such as OMUC, the City of Ontario’s Planning and Engineering Departments, IEUA, DDW, CDA, SBCFCD, USACE, the Cities of Chino and Eastvale, and private developers and their sub-consultants.

Client: Tricor Southwest
Location: Chino Hills, CA - WestLAND’s involvement in this 6-acre commercial site development project included surveying and mapping, preliminary and final civil engineering design, storm water management, retention basin, construction staking, site grading, utilities, infrastructure, and street improvements on Peyton Drive and Chino Hills Blvd. WestLAND Group worked with the various agencies to mitigate issues and obtain final permits for construction.
Client: Turner Construction Corp.
Location: Alhambra, CA - WestLAND Group was retained by Turner Construction and our involvement in this construction project included reviewing Civil, Architectural and Structure plans and generating RFI’s for any discrepancies found with regards to the building, drainage, and site layout. WestLAND surveyed the boundary and conducted a design survey on existing improvements in order to review existing with proposed improvements. Data was analyzed and any grading enhancements were field designed as needed. WestLAND also provided the construction surveying and staking required for the construction of the building, streets, drainage structures, utilities, and parking lots. WestLAND engineers also updated the drainage and grading plans with as-built information which was required by SCE and the city of Alhambra.
