County of Placer, California
Under a contract with Alterra Mountain Company, the owner of Palisades Tahoe, Coastland | DCCM completed Third Party plan review and inspection services on the Palisades Tahoe/Alpine Meadows Base-to-Base Gondola project, specifically for the mid-station avalanche enclosure structure that protects the gondola at this location, as well as the new maintenance building and lodge remodel at Alpine Meadows. The project area extends from the base of the Palisades Tahoe Ski Area to the base of the Alpine Meadows Ski Area and includes four sets of terminal foundations and 33 towers with a $65 million construction cost. Through general direction from the Placer County Building Department, Coastland | DCCM also worked with the designers and builders to successfully overcome key code compliance issues early in the process.
