Bangor BEQ Renovations

As part of a design-build team responsible for renovating two Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) facilities at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor Art Anderson performed mechanical, plumbing, fire protection and electrical engineering design and LEED Consulting services.  Both BEQs were designated as LEED Silver.

North Bay Ferry Maintenance & Operations Facility

Art Anderson provided multi-discipline waterfront engineering services for the plans, specifications, and design-build documentation for the expansion and final outfitting of the multi-vessel berthing, maintenance, and passenger terminal facility.

Energy Conservation Measures

Art Anderson was the Designer of Record coordinating all design consultants’ efforts on this design-build contract to provide Energy Conservation Measures (ECM) for Buildings 58, 495, 1106, 1195, and 452 at Naval Base Kitsap. The ECM included providing high energy efficiency equipment, equipment that allows conservation of potable water, and equipment that controls energy use. From the post award kick-off meeting through construction administration services, Art Anderson Associates facilitated the design process for architectural and mechanical, electrical, and structural engineering services.

Buoy Design for Alcatraz and Crissy Field

In a joint effort with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service, Art Anderson designed and managed a total of eight buoys to demark sensitive natural resource areas in the San Francisco Bay area. Buoys were placed around Alcatraz Island and Crissy Field in preparation for the America’s Cup yacht race. A preferred, cost effective buoy and anchor system for each of the eight proposed locations were designed as each buoy had an independent mooring system and needed to be strategically spread and set at a distance of 300’-500’ off the coastline. Buoy system recommendations were based on NPS project goals, environmental and site conditions, Optimoor modeling, and a trade-off analysis of viable buoy system alternatives, as well as the additional criteria for buoy watch circles.

Port of Shelton (Oakland Bay) Master Plan and Design

Art Anderson was hired to help the Port of Shelton with a multi-phase project for master planning and design efforts for their Oakland Bay marina. Engineering disciplines and other technical areas include bathymetric surveying, storm water and sediment solutions, permitting, grant funding, and construction support. To date we have assisted the Port with a new dock design for the Southern portion of the marina. This tasking involves a thorough evaluation of the existing dock, concept replacement design, and final plans, specifications, and cost estimates for construction. The dock design has roughly 600 linear feet of pathway, multiple finger piers, and 40 pilings providing utility services to all moored vessels.

We are also assisting the Port of Shelton with developing a master plan for the future marina layout, detailed negotiations regarding land transfers to enable expansion of the marina, and construction of a new breakwater. The land transfers involve contaminated properties, which are in various stages of remediation. The land transfers will enable the Port to transform both the upland and marine facilities into a beneficial amenity and a source of employment for the region. Development of the new breakwater involves a multidisciplinary team including, civil, structural, electrical, mechanical engineers and naval architects from our internal staff and subcontractors, including geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers and scientists, expert grant writers, and hydrodynamic specialists. Upland improvement includes design and construction of a new shoreline bulkhead, along with dredging and filling that will reshape the coastline and improve coastal environmental effects of this portion of Oakland Bay including several streams that feed into it. The master plan will include a complete financial analysis and capital improvement/repair/maintenance program for the marina cost center. Permitting will address both long term (5 – 10 year NWP-3) permitting requirements, and full-scale NEPA documents in support of building new in-water infrastructure in navigable waters.
