Case Study: Los Angeles County Department of Public Works achieves uninterrupted bridge construction with Ultrasystems Environmental bird and bat exclusion monitoring

Los Angeles County Department of Public Works completes 3 bridge projects without bird or bat interference with Ultrasystems Environmental

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works required a solution to prevent nesting birds and roosting bats from interfering with the seismic retrofitting of three bridges, while ensuring compliance with state and federal wildlife protection laws. Ultrasystems Environmental was engaged to provide a bird and bat exclusion monitoring program.

Ultrasystems implemented a comprehensive solution that involved installing exclusion netting prior to construction and conducting regular monitoring visits. Their team managed bird nesting activities and removed non-active nests to prevent adverse impacts on local species. This program successfully allowed construction on all three bridges to be completed without any interference from wildlife issues, ensuring full regulatory compliance for the customer.
