Transbay Transit Center
Project description
The new Transbay Transit Center has replaced the former Transbay Terminal that was built in 1939 in downtown San Francisco. This modern transit hub serves 11 transportation systems and contains more than one million square feet. The highlights are a 5.4 acre (22 000 square meters) rooftop public park, Grade Hall, dramatic Light Column, and stay cable pedestrian bridge. The construction was completed in 2018.
mageba scope
mageba USA worked on different sections of this landmark project. On one side, mageba supplied eight RESTON®PENDULUM Mono bearings with load capacities of 2,500 kips (11,120 kN) and 2,000 kips (8,900 kN) for the terminal superstructure and eight RESTON®SPHERICAL bearings able to withstand blast forces of 171 kips and with 41.5” of max. sliding capacity for the glass roof structure.
On the other side, mageba also supplied two TENSA®MODULAR expansion joints designed with 8 and 11 gaps to accommodate 24 in and 33 in of movement respectively at the bus storage facility ramp.
Installation of RESTON-PENDULUM Mono on terminal superstructure
Movements at the Bus storage facility ramp will be facilitated by modular joints
