Efficiently Managing New Golf Course Construction Efforts

Project Scope: Dudek was selected to be the engineer of work and to provide construction management and inspection.

Resolution: The Crossings at Carlsbad was 17 years in the making due to permits required because of its prime coastal location and surrounding federally-protected habitat. As a result, an experienced and well-versed construction management team was needed to balance its scheduling and budgetary needs while working within resource agency requirements. Dudek is providing:

• Construction project management and coordination of contractors, agencies, and key companies to complete the work within the pre-determined timeline
• Inspections at each phase of the project from early grading and storm drain installation to final course touches such as bridges and water features

Specific details of the project include:

• Grading of over 1.5 million yards of earthwork
• Two 20 acre irrigation lakes with waterfalls including construction quality assurance of liner installation
• Four golf cart bridges spanning an existing creek and one roadway bridge crossing a busy street
• Five miles of golf cart path construction
• 28,000 square foot clubhouse
• 10,000 square foot maintenance building along with two comfort stations
• Construction of over 50,000 square feet of crib wall
• Construction of three industrial pads for future development
• Preservation of over 200 acres of open space
• Revegetation of over 50 acres of coastal sage scrub
• Monitoring and implementation of over 400 acres of SWPPP and BMPs in accordance with CRWQCB requirements
