Utility coordination
New utility routes can conflict with tiebacks just as existing services can. At Hollywood Burbank Airport, Cefali used the shoring model to coordinate those conflicts with utility trade partners.

Excavation and foundation support for airport projects
Airport construction can require excavation beside terminals, pavement, utilities, and structures that must remain in place. The support design needs to fit the available work zones and coordinate with other construction packages.
Cefali & Associates designed shoring for the parking structure at Hollywood Burbank Airport and has provided excavation and foundation support across multiple LAX projects. The LAX portfolio includes terminal and bridge work, approach pits, underpinning, and micropiles.
Design and construction
What affects the shoring and foundations.
Limited work zones
Access, overhead clearance, and nearby structures affect which equipment and support systems can be used at each location.
Coordination across contractors
Shoring can adjoin work by several contractors, including foundations, retaining walls, bridges, and terminals. Drawings and construction stages must line up across those packages.
