K-Line Northern Extension Transit Corridor

The K Line (Crenshaw/LAX) Northern Extension Transit Corridor Project will provide a northern underground extension of the Metro Crenshaw/LAX Light Rail Transit K Line from the Metro E Line (Expo) Station to the Metro D Line and continue to the Metro B Line at the Hollywood/Highland Station with a potential last station at the Hollywood Bowl. The project will provide critical regional light rail connection, linking from the South Bay and LAX area to the south, to the Hollywood area to the north.

As a subconsultant, V&A, Inc. is providing professional engineering services including utility and drainage design. V&A, Inc. is responsible for the Advanced Conceptual Engineering (ACE) phase utility and drainage design for three different track alignment options. V&A is responsible for researching and compiling all existing underground utilities, overhead utilities, and storm drains within the project limits of three alignment options and developing the existing storm drain and existing utility CAD base files. Additionally, V&A is responsible for assessing the preliminary conceptual disposition of each existing storm drain and utility such as relocation, protect-in-place and/or structural modification with specific emphasis at and around the proposed station locations to be included in the Utility Analysis Report. The V&A team is responsible for developing utility composite drawings for each alignment that show all existing utilities and storm drains within the vicinity of the proposed track alignment and displays the major existing storm drain and sewer utilities in profile view within the station cut and cover limits.
