Rosendin Electric Installs Electrical Systems For VTA/BART’s Berryessa Extension

Rosendin Electric, headquartered in San Jose, worked as part of a joint venture with Aldridge Electric to build and wire the complex electrical infrastructure for the VTA/Bart Berryessa Extension. The system travels at grade, below grade, and above grade for 10 miles. At the project’s inception in 2011, Rosendin Electric and Aldridge Electric combined forces with prime contractor Skanska, Shimmick and Herzog (SSH), to construct the $775 million job. Rosendin Electric provided all the manpower for the build-out, working with electricians from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 332 in San Jose, and IBEW Local 595 in Dublin. Rosendin Electric provided a range of services from wiring two new train stations to installing a number of systems. Since the project involves transporting people at 50 to 60 miles an hour down a train track, the quality of the craftsmanship had to be outstanding and Rosendin Electric is known for delivering the level of quality work necessary to carry out a project of this magnitude.
