Wong's experience in providing design, construction management, and project management services is exemplified at BART. The Wong staff has participated in the design and construction management, including testing and startup, of both the original 75-mile BART system and on all the extensions since the 1960s.

General Engineering Services
Wong was recently selected to continue for another 5 years as a Prime Consultant for General Engineering Services (GES) for BART Projects after completing the previous 5 years in the same role. The general scope of services include facilities (stations and buildings), train control systems, traction power systems, controls and communications, mainline and yard infrastructure, automatic fare collection, parking and intermodal access, and computer hardware and software. An example of a recent task was Wong leading the effort with BART's Chief Engineer to develop priority-based investment strategies for the rehabilitation and upgrade of BART's entire traction power system. The study was performed with a 30-year outlook and (a) incorporated projections for planned extensions and ridership growth and (b) accounted for equipment service life and potential failures based on historical failures. Subsequently, BART requested Wong to lead a similar effort on its train control and communication systems which was recently completed. BART has now asked Wong to develop a scope, schedule, and budget plan for its 10-year station modernization program.
