Work also included associated site development construction of an unheated 16,812 GSF pre-engineered vehicle storage building, and other minor support facilities. The project complied with NGB standards and was designed to achieve LEED Silver certification.
Seismic and Structural Repairs to Buildings at Sonny Bono Salton Sea NWR
Department of the Interior
Fish and Wildlife Service
Blue Trident performed structural/seismic repairs and upgrades to multiple buildings at the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge facilities complex in Calipatria, CA. Repairs included installation of roof sheathing to shear wall connections, installation of additional steel rod cross bracing to repair wood canopies and damaged steel columns. This repair project addressed critical life safety risk at the complex due to damaged structures.
ADA Compliant Sidewalks – Grounds Improvements

Architectural work incorporated details for stitching 8 modular units together, interior office layout, AT/FP compliance, and complete ABA compliance including access to the 48” elevated structure from the site and adjacent building. Construction was successfully performed in the logistically challenging, restricted lower base area.
Howard A. Hanson Dam Barge Launch Construction
United States Army Corps of Engineers
Howard A. Hanson Dam, Ravensdale, WA
Blue Trident led construction of a heavy truck haul road and staging area to form and launch a modular barge for dam repairs. The construction site is adjacent to the dam reservoir and under water nine months of the year causing planning and execution challenges. Blue Trident developed onsite solutions to enable on-time delivery of the project. Further, construction was completed during COVID-19 restrictions and zero cases were reported.
Demo and Construct New Observation Platform
Fish and Wildlife Service
Tijuana Slough National Wildlife Reserve, Imperial Beach, CA
Blue Trident performed engineering design and construction to demolish and construct new wildlife observation platforms. Blue Trident designed an ADA ramp connecting the platforms for fullest accessibility to the public. Further, construction was completed during COVID-19 restrictions and zero cases were reported.

The projects assessed and prioritized the replacement of interior hollow clay tile wall to reduce falling hazards that can injure building occupants or block egress paths such as hallways or stairwells. Blue Trident began design of seismic bracing to be installed on non-structural building components such as clay tile roof, mechanical and plumbing, ductwork, piping, equipment, plumbing and medical gas piping, plumbing equipment, incoming water service, fire protection piping, sprinklers, equipment, electrical light fixtures, conduit, equipment, as well as securing tall cabinets and furniture to prevent toppling.
Solar and CHP Commissioning
Department of the VA, Multiple VAMCs
Blue Trident provided project management and logistics support for implementing the commissioning of multiple solar PV projects. The solar PV systems consisted of fixed-tilt and/or single axis-tracking systems installed on rooftops and/or carport structures and/or ground mounted. Commissioning tasks that required project management support and technical review included 100% design review, 50% construction as-built review and final commissioning activities.
Energy Assessments
Department of the Navy, BUMED
Blue Trident provided project management to perform energy audits at Naval Hospitals throughout the United States. Assisted with measurement, engineering calculations, and reporting to evaluate current energy consumption, develop status quo energy consumption and cost baselines, and develop investment initiatives to move Navy Medicine facilities to improved energy consumption and cost effectiveness for compliance with the Energy Policy Act (EPACT).
