King County Metro – Interim Base Electrification

King County Metro is leading the transit industry—and the country—with a plan to move to a 100% zero-emissions fleet powered by renewable energy by 2035, and the Interim Base Electrification Project is a critical component of the pioneering infrastructure that will facilitate this zero-emissions initiative.

Employing an optimized, modular and interchangeable steel gantry truss system connected by an elevated equipment platform to support bus charging pantographs overhead, Lund Opsahl has channeled the spirit of this environmentally focused project into a design that minimizes the carbon footprint of the steel framing and concrete footings while providing an efficient and quickly constructable structure.
