Ludovic Binner, PE Structural Engineer 2 consists of a five-level (providing for two-level addition), 162,240-square-foot post- tension concrete framed garage. The project also includes a 700-foot elevated steel framed box-girder truss pedestrian bridge. Two external flyover vehicular ramps provide express entering and exiting to the garage’s second level. Access to the Port secured area is provided through a standalone checkpoint structure. The building was designed to Florida Building Code (FBC) 2017 and was intended to be a ParkSmart certified building. Direct expansion (DX) variable refrigerant flow (VRF) technology was selected for the pedestrian bridge building and outdoor air preconditioning for its compact air handlers with remote condensing units for efficient temperature and humidity control. Bridge is conditioned with two equal capacity VRF systems, each serving half of the bridge. Outdoor air is cooled and dehumidified in dedicated outdoor air units (DOAU). Two DOAU and condensing units are at each end of the bridge. Preconditioned outdoor air is delivered to each side of the bridge to satisfy the code ventilation requirements and keep the building positively pressurized. Forced supply and exhaust ventilation systems were provided for the ground floor ground transportation area to control vehicular emissions. All exterior equipment has the necessary product approvals and is fastened/anchored to satisfy FBC, Building High- Velocity Hurricane Zone Requirements. Building management system (BMS) is installed to control and monitor heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC); lighting; and security systems. The system consists of high-speed peer-to-peer network off direct digital controllers (DDC) and operator workstation residing and communicating on a NATIVE BCAnet IP network system. Controls systems are connected to the County ethernet system. Threshold inspections tools include use of tablet with construction management web application to access construction documents and reports.
