Waterfront improvements will include a new steel bulkhead and <br />two pile-supported structures for the operation of a new Pearlson Shiplift system measuring <br />approximately 470 feet by 110 feet. Dredging of the new ship basin will also be required to <br />achieve the required depths for the new facility. <br />• The GEI team designed the following major elements on a fast-tracked schedule: <br />• Site utility design to support sanitary sewer, fire water, and domestic water <br />• Site stormwater management design for the FA2 site and proposed parking <br />area and roadway <br />• Geotechnical analysis and design for the waterfront structures <br />• Foundation and ground improvement design for the FA2 building and <br />associated apron areas <br />• Structural and geotechnical analysis and design for the building foundations and <br />structural slab <br />• Structural analysis and design of the new steel sheet pile bulkhead, relieving platform, <br />shoreline revetment, transfer bridge, and pile-supported piers to support the operation of a <br />new Pearlson Shiplift system <br />• Dredging design to accommodate a deep basin for the shiplift platform, access channel <br />from the navigation channel into the basin, and adequate depth for berthing along the <br />southern pier. <br />DATES <br />2022-2025 <br />CLIENT REFERENCE <br />ETHAN BATTISTON <br />Pearlson & Pearlson, Inc. <br />12805 SW 84th Avenue Road, <br />Miami, FL 33156 <br />(984) 239-7356 <br />EthanBattiston@pearlson. <br />com <br />KEY ELEMENTS <br />• Vessel Assembly Facility <br />• Heavy Load Platform <br />• Upland Site Development <br />• Utility and Stormwater <br />Management Design <br />• Foundation and Ground <br />Improvement Design to <br />Support New Assembly <br />Building <br />• Steel Sheet Pile Bulkhead <br />• Relieving Platform <br />• Pile-Supported Piers <br />• Shoreline Revetment <br />• Transfer Bridge <br />• Dredging Design
