Silver Line Project

CSIE was a sub-consultant to Parsons Transportation Group for engineering services in support of the Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project – Phase 2, Package A design and construction administration activities. Parsons served as the lead designer for this $2 billion plus project. This project is the largest of three design-build packages that will complete Phase 2.

Phase 2, Package A extends the Metrorail system from Wiehle Avenue in Fairfax County, VA another 11.4 miles northwest, through Washington Dulles International Airport (Dulles Airport) to a terminus near Route 772 in Eastern Loudoun County. The engineering team was responsible for the final design of the Rail Line, Stations, and Systems elements for all of Phase 2.

CSIE’s staff provided electrical engineering and project management services to the Electrical, Traction Power, Communications, SCADA, Fire Alarm and Radio Engineering groups. CSIE’s responsibilities included engineering/ design, calculations, quality control/ reviews, drafting (Revit) and submittal reviews.

Bahia, Brazil

CSIE was awarded a contract involving international work through the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) for the evaluation of several data government centers in Bahia, Brazil. The purpose of this high-level study was to assess existing conditions and make recommendations on improvements to achieve increased E-government, network, and IT capacities across several data centers in Salvador, Brazil. The data centers are owned and operated by the state of Bahia, and support various government agencies such as finance, security, and transportation. CSIE was tasked to perform site surveys on the three largest data centers and based on our findings, produce conceptual designs on each.

Mercedes Benz Stadium

CSIE provided Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Services in support of electrical and cooling infrastructure upgrades associated with the expansion to IBM’s Headend facilities in this high-profile stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The upgrades were necessary due to the anticipation of high demand during Super Bowl LIII. The expansion of the electrical distribution system, including new transformers, switchboards, power monitoring system, and distribution to satellite rooms throughout the stadium was designed and implemented.

Element Critical Data Center

CSIE provided a current-state assessment of a co-location data center in Northern Virginia for the purposes of identifying the cause of persistent cooling insufficiencies and a planned expansion to the operation. The assessment included the determination of installed capacities, current loads, and available capacities.

The recommendations made by CSIE served to create a stable, reliable, redundant cooling and power distribution solution to support existing and future high-density cabinets at 30kW per cabinet low density cabinets at 10kW per cabinet.

Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority

CSIE was awarded a contract by WMATA as a Small Business Enterprise Prime Contractor for Power projects on a Task Order basis. CSIE competed with other SBE’s for this contract and was one of only two firms that successfully met WMATA’s selection criteria.

In addition to this award, CSIE is part of Gannett Fleming’s Prime Contract.

Both contracts will be active in 2020 and are meant to replace the existing Gannett Fleming Parsons contract when it expires in 2021.

Over the past several years, we have had a number of contractual relationships with CSIE and in every case have found them to be professionals and extremely easy to work with, particularly with fast moving requirements in support of Homeland and National Security initiatives. Without their support and professionalism, we would likely have not met our objectives.
