Journeyman Construction served as General Contractor for Capital Metro’s Redline Rail Station on 4th Street between Trinity and Neches in Austin. This project was the very first light rail termination and embarking station for downtown Austin. The project included the conversion of a two-way street with metered parking to a one-way street with a new rail platform and bus transfer parking.

The project was built in five phases to allow for the constant maintenance of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The conversion to a one-way street was accomplished after phase three and required Journeyman to re-educate the vehicular drivers and provide intense signage and flagmen to assure safety of the construction workers and public.

The scope of work included sitework, paving, landscaping, utlities, electrical, concrete, structural steel platform, guard rails and site amenities. Journeyman’s existing safety program was updated and intensified during this project to insure the project was completed incident free. The schedule was a critical element and each phase required carefully planning of several different vital activities. The team took great pride in the fact that we were able to make adjustments to the schedule and overcome each and every challenge encountered during the course of the project. Journeyman Construction successfully completed this project on time and under budget for CapMetro.

OWNER
County of Bexar, Texas

Journeyman Construction provided project management and coordination of subcontractors for a new four-story, 100,000 sf Adult Probation Office Building in downtown San Antonio. With the Bexar County Jail and Jail Annex in close proximity to the Probation Building, this project was first step for the County to implement the entire district into a campus intended to the keep the correctional and rehabilitation facilities within one area for ease of transition of the parolees.

Journeyman Construction’s diligence in searching for quality materials and subcontractors was evident in the procurement and installation of the pre-cast panels. The difficulties lie in the delivery, handling and installation of the panel itself. Keeping a 12-ton panel plum and level while trying to achieve symmetry across the face was a daunting task, but the use of a qualified erector chosen for experience and capability and our in-house instrument-based quality monitoring program, proved to essential for the successful installation.

The project, which was delivered ahead of schedule, included the demolition of existing residences to prepare the site. The buildings has a drilled pier foundation, concrete floor slabs and a loading dock. The Center included raised classroom floors, a lightning protection center and elevator installation.
