## Project Spotlight: Designing a Custom A-Frame Crane for Old Sill Dam Repairs
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/designing-a-frame-crane-for-old-sill-dam-repairs/
Type: post
Modified: 2026-09-09

A conversation between Jenny Weitz, Marketing Coordinator, and Kelly Sonerholm, Naval Architect and Project Manager about an A-Frame Crane Design and Barge Stability for performing dam repairs.
Jenny: Kelly, can you start by giving us an overview of the Old Sill Dam project and what our team was asked to do?
Kelly: The Old Sill Dam project was an interesting project! Our client, McMillen, asked us to produce a design for a novel lifting apparatus that was limited by both overhead clearance and space within an old flow control structure.
We chose an A-Frame crane design to be mounted on a modular barge that could be inserted into the spillway to safely remove the aging spillway components and install new components. The location has been the subject of flow control between the Mississippi River and adjacent rivers for hundreds of years now, and it is important for maintaining navigable waterways.
 
Jenny: What did the project look like at the beginning, and how did it evolve over time?
 
Final design of the A-Frame Crane on modular barge.
Kelly: Initially we were asked to produce a barge lifting apparatus to lift certain specific structures into and out of the spillway. This resulted in a custom A‑frame crane to be installed on a 60‑foot by 60‑foot by 7‑foot modular barge. As the project progressed, McMillen realized the value of the system beyond that one repair effort. The scope expanded to ensure the crane could be reused for future work, which meant revisiting and strengthening the design criteria and performing additional stability analyses.
 
This project evolution added complexity but ultimately resulted in a more robust and flexible solution that would be ready for McMillen to use on a wide range of other repair operations.
 
Jenny: From an engineering standpoint, what made this project especially challenging?
Kelly: There were several interrelated aspects that increased complexity. As mentioned, McMillen ultimately desired a reusable platform that would be capable performing multiple tasks. This changed the project objective slightly from accomplishing a single purpose to optimizing the design to accomplish a broader range of lifts. Stability/weight, strength, and overall size were the limiting factors, so after we confirmed that the platform could accomplish the job at hand, we optimized for the capabilities considering all these limits simultaneously.
We were also requested to provide operating instructions which could be presented to a new operator so that they could understand how to use the platform in entirely new scenarios, so we had to consider the possibility of operator error and how to prevent it. We considered how to prevent adverse loading with design decisions rather than rely on operators to understand how to prevent unsafe conditions.
 
The shipyard fabricated metal linkages to lower the position of the spreader bar on which the electric winches were carried. This prevented contact between the winch and the A-frame when hoisting.
Jenny: Can you talk more about the structural design work your team performed?
Kelly: Our structural scope included selecting and sizing all major A‑frame components—the frame members themselves, the hoist mast, hinge pins, the A‑frame rests, and the spreader which carried the winches. We also calculated maximum tensions in the hoist lines and designed the foundations for the A‑frame, hoist mast, and winch systems. We used Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and beam element based structural analysis software to verify the more complex elements, in addition to hand calculations for elements under simple loading.
 
Jenny: Stability analysis seems like a major part of this project. What did that involve?
Kelly: Stability is always a crucial consideration in barge lifting design projects. While this project was not necessarily more complex than other types of stability analysis, optimization of the capacity creates complexity. We determine limitations and allow operation up to the limits of the barges stability, including sufficient margin for error, and this requires an understanding of all of the ways that the barge will respond to loading, adverse weather, current, and the possibility for accidental loading outside of the prescribed limits.
In addition to the primary crane barge, there were three additional modular barges McMillen used for staging materials. Each had different dimensions—ranging from 50 by 20 feet up to 70 by 20 feet. We evaluated stability for up to five different lift cases on the downstream side of the dam and performed additional analyses for another McMillen barge that was carrying a crawler crane. All of this was analyzed using General Hydrostatics (GHS), which is an industry‑standard tool for hydrostatic and stability analysis.
 
Jenny: How did regulatory requirements shape the analysis?
Kelly: Regulations played a major role. We evaluated barge and lift stability against USACE EM 385‑1‑1 Crane Safety Criteria as well as 46 CFR 28.545, which addresses intact stability when lifting gear is in use. Which standards apply depend widely on where the work is to be performed as different regulatory agencies have rules that apply by state, site, or application. They define acceptable risk levels.
Our analyses demonstrated that the planned lifting operations were stable and compliant across all the configurations we evaluated. The goal was also to provide a platform that would be allowable to use under other possible regulatory jurisdictions.
 
The initial electric winch size was larger than anticipated and came into contact with the A-frame when hoisted.
Jenny: The scope sounds extensive. How did the project manage changes along the way?
Kelly: Like many complex projects, this one evolved significantly. McMillen is a very dynamic company, and their needs for support on new projects expanded during the period of performance for the initial work. Over the course of the work, there were more than ten change orders to address expanded scope, new lift scenarios, and operational adjustments. Clear communication and documentation were key to keeping things moving while maintaining safety and technical rigor.
 
Jenny: Looking back, what stands out to you most about this project?
Kelly: The thing that stands out to me the most is how flexible the expectations are for us in supporting a construction company such as McMillen. This makes the work interesting but also challenging from a project management perspective. Fortunately, despite the moving target, working with McMillen was a great experience because they are equally flexible and understanding of the challenges. My favorite type of work is when both customer and engineer are focused on getting work done with real world impacts, and this project definitely falls under that category. The technical aspect and interrelation of the aspects of the design are also interesting, and I love seeing it all come together to help our client achieve success.

## Ravenswood Pond SF2 Tidal Wetland Restoration
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/ravenswood-pond-sf2-tidal-wetland-restoration/
Type: post
Modified: 2026-05-27

Art Anderson is proud to have contributed to one of the largest tidal wetland restoration efforts on the West Coast—bringing vital ecosystems back to life—at Ravenswood Pond SF2 in California.
Over the past century, nearly 85% of historic marshlands in the region were lost due to urban development and salt production. Today, a transformative restoration initiative is underway to restore 15,000 acres—an area the size of Manhattan—by reintroducing tidal flow and rebuilding natural habitats.
At Ravenswood Pond SF2, back in 2008, Art Anderson led design development and construction documentation for key water control systems. This 240-acre site was reimagined to support wildlife, with newly created nesting islands, shallow foraging areas, and improved water circulation.
Our team designed:

Two water control structures to manage water depth and quality
Two steel-frame wildlife viewing platforms
Berms and habitat islands for ecological diversity
Raised levees to enhance flood protection

In collaboration with contractor Triton Marine Construction, we also identified innovative value engineering solutions—saving $135,000 by incorporating recycled materials and efficient structural alternatives.
This project demonstrates how thoughtful engineering can balance habitat restoration with flood resilience and community access—helping nature thrive again.

## “Transform Your Future” and Build a Better World
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/transform-your-future-and-build-a-better-world/
Type: post
Modified: 2026-02-27

It’s National Engineers Week. It’s a week to celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world and increase awareness for the growing need for engineers. Engineers Week (February 22-28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone.
Engineering doesn’t just transform individual futures—it transforms communities, industries, and the world.
As we close out Engineers Week, we reflect on why engineers matter now more than ever.
Civil Engineer Andrew put it best:
“Engineering is so broad that there are many different paths to suit a variety of personalities and skillsets. There’s a role for everyone.”
From sustainable infrastructure to maritime innovation, renewable energy systems to public safety, engineers solve the problems that shape society.
They build bridges—literally and figuratively.
They imagine solutions before the world realizes it needs them.
They transform their future—and ours.
About National Engineers Week
National Engineers Week (EWeek) has a long and meaningful history. Founded in 1951 by the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE), the celebration was intentionally scheduled to coincide with George Washington’s birthday, honoring his legacy as the nation’s first engineer due to his extensive work as a surveyor and infrastructure leader.
Today, Engineers Week is more than a celebration — it’s a nationwide movement. Coordinated by DiscoverE, along with a coalition of more than 70 engineering and education organizations, its mission is to increase public awareness of the essential role engineers play in improving quality of life. It also aims to inspire the next generation by promoting engineering literacy, encouraging STEM engagement, and showing students from all backgrounds that they have a place in the profession.
The goals of Engineers Week are clear and powerful:

Celebrate how engineers make a difference in the world.
Increase public dialogue about the ongoing need for more engineers.
Bring engineering to life for students, educators, and communities.
Promote diversity and inclusion to build a strong, future-ready engineering workforce.

Each year, DiscoverE announces a theme to unite the engineering community. The 2026 theme, “Transform Your Future,” reflects the idea that engineering empowers both individuals and society to design better, more resilient futures. It reinforces that engineering isn’t just about technical problem‑solving—it’s about creativity, collaboration, and shaping the world we want to live in.

It’s National Engineers Week. It’s a week to celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world and increase awareness for the growing need for engineers. Engineers Week (February 22-28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone.
Capstone projects are a rite of passage for many engineers. They’re challenging, creative, and often the first moment when classroom theory becomes hands‑on engineering.
Our Engineers Share Their Projects
Marty’s Story: A Switch, a Snowmobile, and a Simple Lesson
Marty remembers working on an amphibious vehicle powered by an old snowmobile engine. After hours of troubleshooting fuel lines, valves, and compression, nothing worked.
Then came the realization: the kill switch was flipped. With one simple click, the engine roared to life.
“We learned that sometimes the problem is simple—if you stop staring at what you think it is.”
Evelyn’s Capstone: Engineering for Real-World Challenges
Evelyn is designing a frangible nosecone for an autonomous underwater vehicle that deploys a net to safely slow watercraft for law‑enforcement use.
“Art Anderson is enhancing my education by giving me more context on marine operations and concepts.”
Andrew’s Project: Foundations in Familiar Places
Andrew designed foundations for a communications tower, choosing a site he knew well: the Port Gamble trail system.
“I got to research soil conditions and design real foundations for a place I run often.”
 
Capstone projects are more than school assignments—they’re launching points. They show students what they love, what they’re capable of, and where their future might lead.

It’s National Engineers Week. It’s a week to celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world and increase awareness for the growing need for engineers. Engineers Week (February 22-28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone.
Today we’re transforming futures with advice from the engineers at Art Anderson. Each of them took a different path into the profession, but all share the same belief: engineering is a career that changes lives—starting with your own.
Advice from Our Team
Evelyn, Mechanical Intern
“Keep an open mind when looking at engineering as a profession — you might find your passion where you least expect it.”
Marty, VP of Marine Engineering
“Learn to write well—both formally and informally. Engineering relies heavily on math and numbers, but you must convey your ideas clearly and concisely.”
Ben, President & CEO
“A good engineer is not hard to find. A good engineer who can write and speak in public is a unicorn!”
Andrew, Civil Engineer
“Nothing is ever easy the first time you do it, but it’s always easier each successive time.”
Engineering is a lifelong learning journey: building skills, building confidence, and building a future. Whether you’re just entering the field or still considering it, these insights show that the path isn’t always linear—but it’s always worth it.

Opportunity Encouragement for Aspiring Engineers
Marty, VP of Marine Engineering
“Get an internship early—ideally at a place where you will contribute directly to the company’s products or services.”
Evelyn, Mechanical Intern
“I encourage any aspiring engineer to put as much time and energy into exploring internships as they can manage.”
For decades, Art Anderson has welcomed a new class of bright, driven students who join our team for a few short months and leave here with real-world experience, professional growth, and a clearer sense of their career path. We believe internships are more than just a seasonal tradition with the arrival of summer; they are an investment in the future of engineering.
Recent Interns Have Shared Their Experience:

Clark, 2019 – “Projects that Art Anderson works on are not traditional and repetitive… they brought new challenges that required me to apply my knowledge in unique ways.”
Sai, 2021 – “I gained meaningful experience with GHS, Rhino, AutoCAD, and writing real technical specs. It wasn’t just busy work.”
Henry, 2022 – “I developed critical engineering skills and got to interact directly with clients. Seeing how a consulting firm really works was invaluable.”
Chelsea, 2025 – “Not only did I learn a lot of technical skills at Art Anderson, but I also contributed directly to ongoing projects. I was quickly onboarded onto multiple projects and worked alongside other engineers who were all great mentors and teachers.”

By supporting emerging talent, we are not just building up individuals, we are supporting the future of the engineering industry.

It’s National Engineers Week. It’s a week to celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world and increase awareness for the growing need for engineers. Engineers Week (February 22-28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone.
This year’s theme, “Transform Your Future,” reminds us that engineering is more than formulas and blueprints—it’s creativity, curiosity, and the joy of building something new. One of the best ways to spark that curiosity is through hands-on STEM activities.
Today, we’re transforming futures with fun by sharing STEM projects our team has done. We do an annual STEM activity during our Art Anderson Days celebration in late July. These activities are fun for kids and adults.
STEM Projects to Try
Catapult Competition
What You’ll Need:

7 craft sticks
3 rubber bands
A milk cap or small cup
Cotton balls/building bricks {or other small objects to launch}

The Mission:
Build the best catapult that launches the object the farthest.
Cup Tower Challenge
What You’ll Need:

Plastic cups (15-20 per person or team)
Large popsicle sticks (about 20 per person or team)

The Mission:
Build the tallest (or longest, or most creative) tower you can in 10 minutes.
 
These small projects are reminders that anyone can be an engineer, and often, the spark begins with something fun. When young people are encouraged to explore, build, test, and imagine, they discover that the future truly can be transformed—one experiment at a time.

In 1957, after years of frustration with the local contractors serving the design overload of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, Art Anderson decided he could do better. With the help of his wife Bea and designer Frank Gallenger, Anderson and Gallenger was born. The first few years typified a startups vulnerability competing for small drawing packages in fixed price competitions with a developing staff. The first-generation Andersons were able to survive largely through Bea’s fiscal sagacity and early establishment of a family environment. As years progressed three of four of the Anderson children, a nephew and extended family, would find learning experiences at the company while progressing through school.
In 1974 the naval yard established term contracts for support beginning a ten-year period of growth that included major design support contracts in Bremerton, Philadelphia, Portsmouth and with PERA CV, the Navy’s planning arm for aircraft carriers. In this role Art Anderson helped create the carrier (SLEP) Service Life Extension Program. In 1978 this opened the door to commercial programs as the steel electric class Washington State Ferries neared the end of their 50-year life. Following Art Anderson strategic planning, these same vessels continue to serve today.
In 1976 Eric Anderson returned to Bremerton and joined the firm after the seagoing obligations of his U.S. Naval Academy commission. Primarily a naval design firm, Art Anderson had occasionally extended licensed engineering talents to projects such as a community theater and municipal improvements. Retiring in 1981 Art saw an established naval design firm become the base for diversification and transition to broader consulting roles. Through the eighties and nineties, the firm transitioned into second generation leadership. Top level talents included architecture, civil engineering, industrial, naval architectural and construction management.
In the 2000’s the firm was a well-established multidisciplinary engineering firm serving a broad range of markets and clients all around the country. In 2011, Ben Anderson, a third generation Anderson, transitioned from a ten-year active duty career in the US Coast Guard to a naval architect within the family business. Ben joined the firm with a degree and Professional Engineering license in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. After a few years of design and project management, he took the helm and became President and CEO in 2013. Joining him at the business is his wife, Melissa. She joined with a strong business and finance background, easily establishing a role within the Business Development department, now serving as the Chief Operations Officer.
Today Ben and Melissa own and operate the family business in downtown Bremerton. The company culture remains strong from the foundation set by Art and Bea some 60 years ago. An atmosphere of pride in accomplishment thru technical excellence, and working as a team to serve our many great clients.  Art Anderson will continue to be firmly grounded in concept and detail design with a unique array of disciplines and set the stage for improving the industry of engineering.

Art Anderson leads the design of Floating Surface Collectors (FSC) and similar downstream fish passage facilities. As a firm with experienced professionals in both landside and marine engineering disciplines, Art Anderson is ideally positioned to comprehensively address the unique challenges of designing fish passage structures at hydroelectric projects. We have the naval architects, marine engineers, civil engineers and electrical engineers in one office working together to design FSCs.
Floating surface collectors (FSCs) are specialized floating structures used primarily in hydroelectric and environmental engineering projects to facilitate fish passage, especially for juvenile salmonids migrating downstream.
Floating Surface Collectors are designed to:

Attract and collect juvenile fish near the surface of reservoirs or lakes.
Guide fish safely past dams or other barriers using flow currents and netting systems.
Support environmental conservation by improving fish survival rates during migration.

Art Anderson Leads the Design of Floating Surface Collectors (FSC)
Art Anderson’s Naval Architects and Engineers have a high degree of expertise in the design and renovation of non-powered floating structures and facilities and fixed over-water structures and systems. To date, we have either led or contributed to the design of ten floating fish collection structures across the Pacific Northwest.
Key Design Features:

Floating barge-like platforms anchored near dams or in reservoirs.
Pumps and guide nets create flow currents that attract fish.
Hydraulic and mechanical systems manage water intake and fish handling.
Ballasting systems ensure stability and allow controlled flipping during installation (as seen in the Cushman FSC project).

## Restoring Ediz Hook Shoreline: A Waterfront Engineering Design-Build Project
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/waterfront-engineering-construction-project-to-restore-ediz-hook-shoreline/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-10-28

During Construction – A waterfront engineering and construction project to restore Ediz Hook shoreline
Art Anderson served as the Designer of Record/Waterfront Engineer for the U.S. Navy’s waterfront engineering and construction project to restore Ediz Hook shoreline, working in partnership with Western Marine Construction, the project’s prime contractor.
Ediz Hook is a three-mile, crescent-shaped sand spit that extends out from the Port Angeles Boat Haven and Marina. It provides a natural shelter to the Port Angeles waterfront from the Strait of Juan de Fuca waters. Over the past several decades, this natural barrier has suffered significant erosion—threatening both ecological balance and infrastructure stability.
As a trusted waterfront engineering firm, our team brought decades of experience in coastal infrastructure and marine design to this complex project. The project restored intertidal and back-beach (dry, upper part of the beach beyond the high-tide line, shaped by wind and sometimes storm waves) nearshore (shallow water area where waves break and re-form before surging up the foreshore habitat), and is consistent with the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe’s ongoing restoration efforts along the southern shoreline of Ediz Hook.
After Construction – A waterfront engineering and construction project to restore Ediz Hook shoreline
Waterfront Engineering and Construction Scope of Work
The project included:

Removal of existing rock armoring, impounding structure, imported fill and debris, concrete/asphalt pads, a damaged sea wall, and two derelict structures.
Sampling and analysis was required to determine presence of contaminated fill in areas to be removed.
Site development included water, fire protection, sanitary sewer, storm drainage, heating, cooling and fuel distribution services.

A Trusted Partner in Waterfront Design
“Art Anderson has been our design-build partner on two projects under an on-call contract with NAVFAC NW for waterfront engineering and construction. As a waterfront engineering firm, Art Anderson is proactive, responsive, and provides quality deliverables.”
— Julian Koerner, Western Marine Construction, Inc.
This is just one of many successful projects that demonstrates Art Anderson’s commitment to sustainable shoreline design, collaborative partnerships, and engineering excellence.

Type: post
Modified: 2025-10-15

Please join us in congratulating Sean Hoynes, PE, our Chief Engineer, on an extraordinary 45 years with Art Anderson!
Sean looking at a server on a site visit.
What began as a work-study internship through Olympic College in 1980 has grown into a remarkable four-and-a-half-decade career. As an intern, Sean “hand draft[ed] topography lines with ink and used a bent wire coat hanger as a guide because we didn’t have any splines” for a parking lot project for Delta Pier at Bangor. Since earning his Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington in 1983, Sean has built a legacy defined by technical excellence, leadership, and unwavering dedication.
Sean’s expertise spans a wide range of engineering disciplines:

Large NAVFAC Design-Build projects at PSNS
Utility design for municipalities and ports
HVAC systems for schools and commercial buildings
LEED-certified buildings

Sean Remembers the “Firsts”
In 45 years, the technology of engineering has changed from pens and pencils to monitors and a mouse. Sean remembers the early days with CAD technology:
“As the company’s first CAD operator I got to work with a very intelligent structural engineer who also happened to be the company vice president at the time. Talk about pressure! I remember trying to plot the drawing on the brand new, top-of-the-line IOLINE pen plotter. I got the plot scale wrong so the drawing ended up the size of a postage stamp. Being a pen plotter, the machine still went through all the motions to plot the line work I had drawn. The plotter looked like it was having a seizure!”
Sean remembers his first ‘large’ project as a Project Manager.
One of Sean’s most memorable early leadership roles came in 1991, when he served as Project Manager for the Ex-USS Decatur Conversion—a marine engineering design project that transformed a former guided missile destroyer into a weapons test platform:
“This was the first ‘large’ project that I got to work with and ‘manage’ some well-seasoned, veterans, and extremely knowledgeable senior engineers and designers. To say I managed this crew is a huge overstatement…”
He has led design efforts for industrial, commercial, and government clients, and served as Design Quality Control Manager on multiple Department of Defense projects. His work has earned high praise, including an Award of Excellence from Lockheed Martin Space for his “tremendous support” and “superior design solution” on the SWFLANT MSU 7th Storage Pad project. Sean worked “professionally and endured challenges as well as changing scope” while moving the project forward and delivering a 100% mission success.
Now, He’s Our Mentor
Now, as Chief Engineer, Sean oversees production, quality, mentorship, and supports business development initiatives. There’s very little Sean hasn’t seen or solved—making him an invaluable asset to our team and to our clients.
Bremerton Waterfront Staff Field Trip
Recently, Sean took us on a walking tour of Downtown Bremerton, proudly pointing out the many projects he’s helped bring to life. His legacy is not just in the infrastructure around us—but in the mentorship, leadership, and passion he brings to every endeavor.
Over the years, Sean has:
🛠 985+ projects completed
🌎 5 PE licenses across different states
🧭 10 years as Chief Engineer at Art Anderson
Sean, thank you for your brilliance, your dedication, and your 45 years of engineering excellence. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with you.
👏 Congratulations, Sean! 👏

Building the Bremerton Waterfront: Art Anderson’s Legacy
For more than six decades, Art Anderson has been part of Bremerton’s transformation from a waterfront of mere utility into a vibrant destination for residents, visitors, and boaters alike. As a Bremerton-based engineering firm that began in 1957 with an office originally on First Street, we’ve had a front-row seat and an active hand in shaping the shoreline into how it exists today.
Our marine and port infrastructure expertise and our ‘in-the-thick-of-things’ office location, made it natural for us to be involved in the many projects that developed Bremerton’s waterfront. Over time, our engineers have contributed designs and modifications of Bremerton’s waterfront features including the boardwalks, breakwaters, ferry terminals, marinas and marina facilities to support our growing port community.
Last month, the Art Anderson team took a staff field trip to the Bremerton Marina to learn of the storied projects we’ve supported there over the years. Chief Engineer Sean Hoynes, who has been with Art Anderson for over 40 years, led our team on a tour of the ferry docks and breakwaters, highlighting the many changes our firm has engineered for the waterfront. It was a valuable opportunity for our growing team of engineers, especially our many new employees, to see firsthand the types of infrastructure Art Anderson has been designing for decades.

1960s–1990: From Sandy Shoreline to Growing Marina
In the late 1960s, Bremerton’s waterfront looked very different. It consisted mostly of sandy embankments, open parking, and a modest wharf on First Street that welcomed visitors from the water. Marina moorage was limited, and the Wheelhouse Tavern stood as one of the few waterfront landmarks.
Art Anderson’s early contributions included improving access, utilities, and moorage facilities and laying the groundwork for more robust marine activity in the years to come.


Projects Art Anderson played a key role during this era included:

Pump Station at the end of 2nd Street observation deck design
Bremerton Waterfront Walk schematic design (1988)
First Street Dock Floats deck coating analysis (1988)
First Street Dock Gangway Replacement
Bremerton Marina Guest Moorage conceptual design of 50 slips that could be expanded to 220 slips in the future, including utility and fueling upgrades (1990)


1990s: Boardwalks, Breakwaters, and Museum Ships
With long-term planning underway, the 1990s saw major steps toward creating a true destination waterfront. Expansion of the marina required better breakwater protection to offset ferry wake and improved systems for expanded moorage. The engineers at Art Anderson played a central role in developing the boardwalk and amenities, enhancing ferry terminal landings, and helping transform the USS Turner Joy into a permanent museum ship complete with a gift shop.

Projects Art Anderson played a key role during the 1990s:

Marina utilities and gangway upgrades to better serve incoming boats (1991)
USS Turner Joy permanent mooring in 1991, designing a frame to support the stern of the ship and connect it to the city marina
Harbormaster’s Office & Marina Support Facility design and construction support
B-Float analysis to repurpose this old WSDOT float to a two level centerpiece facility connecting the boardwalk (via trestle) with the breakwater and passenger ferry operations.
A-Float naval architecture design and hydrodynamic analysis to serve as Kitsap Transit’s passenger-only ferry loading
Ferry wake wash studies to determine the water movement of foot passenger and vehicle ferry traffic, as well as environmental impacts on marine life
Passenger-only fast ferry route and docking analysis


2000s: Transportation Hub and Expanded Marina
The early 2000s brought the construction of the Bremerton Transportation Center, creating a truly intermodal hub for ferries, buses, and foot traffic. Art Anderson designed new floats and moorage systems, including designing the A-Float and relocating B-Float for extended docking capacity for a new fleet of passenger-only ferries. The new walkways incorporated grated surfaces that allows light to pass through the decking to preserve inter-tidal sea-life vitality & benthic habitats.
In 2007, the Harborside Fountain park opened and the USS Turner Joy was rotated to function as part of a larger marina breakwater system. Our team designed the current 1,400-foot floating breakwater wall that protects both public and private moorage from wind and wake. The design of this massive floating wave attenuator won the 2007 Local Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award in Ports and Waterways Engineering for Art Anderson and Reid Middleton.

Projects Art Anderson played a key role during the 2000s:

B-Float, gangway trestle, and A-Float installation and construction support to create a WSF passenger-only ferry dock
Bremerton Transportation Center design and construction support
Bremerton breakwater and marina expansion providing full design for a new 1,400-foot long, 8,400-long-ton (nearly 19 million pounds) floating breakwater system
B-Pontoon analysis to repurpose this section of old marina breakwater to serve, in conjunction with the newly concepted A-Float, as the Port’s physical barrier/breakwater between the vehicle ferry terminal
A-Float and B-Pontoon outfitting for utilities and passenger and vessel amenities to create the current Kitsap Ferry fast passenger-only ferry terminal
Ferry tunnel construction management support for new vehicle queuing
Lone Sailer Statue foundation design, structural analysis, material selection and construction drawings
In 2025, Art Anderson performed an ADA Accessibility analysis at the Bremerton Transportation Center for Kitsap Transit


Looking Ahead
Over the decades, the Bremerton waterfront has grown from a sandy, rocky shoreline into a vibrant marina district through thoughtful engineering and community investment. Art Anderson has been there every step of the way, designing infrastructure that supports commerce, transportation, and public access to the water that makes this area of the Puget Sound so unique. As Bremerton continues to grow, we’re committed to shaping a waterfront that serves the next generation.
2025 is off to a strong start at Art Anderson, with ten new staff members joining our team. This period of growth reflects the momentum we’ve been building. Over the last five years, we’ve completed more than eighty port and waterfront projects, many right here in the Salish Sea. As we grow in size and scope, the Art Anderson legacy continues to shape and strengthen the waterfront communities of the Puget Sound region.

Art Anderson was the Designer of Record, and as a sub-consultant to Triton Marine Corporation was responsible for preparing and submitting all improvement design documents and construction drawings for design and construction support services to replace the Mainside Ship Wastewater Collection Ashore Abatement System (SWWCAAS) force main. Our engineers provided the design to remove the existing 10- to 14-inch SWWCAAS force main network and replace-in-place with approved ceramic-lined ductile iron pipe with polyethylene encasement exterior protection that is designed to withstand the highly corrosive components present in ship wastewater. Incidental design work included establishing an interim SWWCAAS bypass force main that connects to three ship sewage pump stations.
The existing system force main was constructed in the mid-1970s to convey wastewater from ships berthed at Pearl Harbor to shore-side wastewater conveyance, treatment, and disposal facilities. The force main was constructed with cement mortar lined ductile iron pipe coated with bituminous paint and wrapped in polyethylene sheets or tubing. A CCTV inspection of the SWWCAAS force main in April 2012 revealed a 100-foot section of the force main near Merry Point Landing was completely corroded away, leaving an unlined, continually-eroding subsurface earth “tunnel” as the flow conduit.
This project replaced the force main from Sewer Manhole PC on North Road near Merry Point Landing to Sewage Pump Station SC-016 near Hotel Pier.
Design parameters included integrating sustainable strategies and features into the design to minimize the energy consumption of the facilities; conservation of resources; minimization of adverse effects to the environment; improvement of occupant productivity, health, and comfort; and a reduction of the total cost of ownership of the project using a whole building, life-cycle approach. The facility and all site features were designed and constructed to comply with the UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements and the Guiding Principles for Federal Leadership in High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements.

cantilever slabs forming

The Navy designed a new waterfront support building that included concrete walls and a new slab. The new building would sit on sheet piles and part of the building was designed to overhang the sheet piles. To be able to pour the slab, design drawings for the formworks for the cantilevered slab were required. Adequate support while the concrete cured was critical to the success of the project and attaching to the sheet piles was not an option.
Our in-house team designed a system of steel beams, aluminum strong backs and plywood to create platforms that were supported by previously cured concrete. We developed a sequence and divided the areas into sections to be poured. The final slab would be three feet thick.
Deflection was a major concern for this project. As the slab was the foundation to a building, it had to be level. The beams and formworks had to account for deflection from the weight of the concrete. Our team chose steel beams that were larger than necessary and tried to predict the deflection to offset it.
All the formworks were only needed temporally during construction. We designed the bracing system in such a way that the beam could be reused for other projects. We didn’t drill unnecessary holes or do anything else that would compromise the integrity of the beams.

Sluice Gate No. 2 is one of three 73-inch-wide by 94-inch-high motor operated sluice gates in the drydock dewatering pump suction chamber for Drydock 5 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The project involved removing the existing deteriorated sluice gate and mating thimble as well as the existing motor, operating mechanism, seal plate and operating controls. A new sluice gate, thimble, motor, operating mechanism and controls were installed, and the seal plate was refurbished and reinstalled. To accommodate working in the pump well, cofferdams had to be installed as the pump well is always at least partially flooded.
Art Anderson developed the design package including drawings, specifications, basis of design and design analysis to replace the sluice gate system and install cofferdams to accommodate the construction phase of the work. During the construction phase, Art Anderson supported Triton Marine in the form of submittal reviews, preparation of RFIs and technical guidance related to the installation process as well as actual conditions found.

Art Anderson was contracted by Lockheed Martin to perform a follow up geotechnical investigation of the surrounding areas of a sink hole that was patched over at Naval Base Kitsap Bangor on Tang Road, the access road for the Explosive Handling Wharf -1. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze any issues that could impact continued use of the road, evaluate risk mitigation for the potential issues and make recommendations for roadway life extension.
Krazan & Associates assisted with the geotechnical survey to help determine what was causing the sinkhole and if any of the surrounding areas were having the same issues that would cause another hole along the road. As this is a majorly used road on base, finding the cause of the sink hole and ways to prevent another from occurring were critical.
After inspection, Krazan found the cause of the sinkhole was from the erosion of loose fill materials by uncontrolled storm water runoff and vibrations from traffic on Tang Road. To reduce the probability of future sinkholes in that area, they recommended the existing fill material be completely removed down to the firm natural ground and be brought back up with structural fill, properly placed on horizontal benches and compacted with the structural fill.

The project involved the replacement and re-siting of an older existing 34’ x 56’ wet portable that has been condemned due to water intrusion and suspect mold in the interstitial ceiling area. The North Kitsap School District (NKSD) commissioned Art Anderson to provide civil and electrical design work to remove and replace the portable and included communicating and coordinating with the City of Poulsbo to obtain permits. Art Anderson delivered a cost-effective solution to NKSD. Art Anderson also coordinated with subcontractors to ensure that coverage for services rendered met the minimum expectation of the Client.
Art Anderson was tasked with designing site and electrical plans and providing a site investigation for the installation of site utilities and ADA improvements to obtain permits for relocating portable classrooms to NK High School. The portables were relocated from Suquamish Elementary and Poulsbo Jr High.

## AA Days – A Week of Fun for our Team!
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/aa-days-a-week-of-fun-for-our-team/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-08-18

At Art Anderson, AA Days is a week of fun for the team! For over 40 years, AA Days has been our way of saying a huge THANK YOU to the incredible team that makes Art Anderson the success it is today. As Ben Anderson, our Owner & President, says: “AA Days was designed to add a little fun and celebration around our required annual company meetings.” But it’s grown into so much more than that!
A Week of Fun and Celebration
AA Days is your chance to unwind, connect with colleagues, and celebrate all that we’ve accomplished together. We’ve got a jam-packed week planned, filled with:

Delicious food: Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with a variety of delicious options throughout the week. From gourmet burgers to mouthwatering tacos, there’ll be something to satisfy everyone’s cravings. Each team at Art Anderson hosts a different meal and its always delicious.
Morale-boosting events: We’ve got some exciting activities planned that will get you laughing, competing, and creating lasting memories with your fellow Art Anderson family.
Company meetings (with a twist!): Yes, those annual meetings are still a part of the week, but we promise to make them informative, engaging, and (dare we say?) even a little fun!

More Than Just Fun and Games
AA Days is also about recognizing the Team’s hard work and dedication. Throughout the week, we’ll be taking the time to celebrate individual and team achievements. It’s a chance to reflect on the incredible things we’ve accomplished together and look forward to the exciting future we’re building.
A Week We All Look Forward To
Just like Ben, so many of us eagerly anticipate AA Days every year. It’s a chance to step away from our daily routines, connect with colleagues in a relaxed setting, and truly feel the sense of community that makes Art Anderson such a special place to work.

The project involved the design of approximately 1,700 linear feet of Phase III and Phase IV Sewer Utility Force Main Repairs at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. This is a Design-Build project working directly with the contractor, Port Madison Enterprises Construction. Art Anderson was responsible for construction management for Phase III and Design-Build support for Phase IV.
Phase III
We confirmed the route of the utility piping when all the existing conditions were discovered. This phase consisted of an 18” force main running from Lift Station #2 near the southwest corner of Building 467 to a point of connection just east of the Wyckoff Entry Control Point to the Controlled Industrial Area. Approximately 150’ of the Phase III piping south of Building 467 had already been replaced under an earlier contract. Art Anderson was able to utilize and re-use the piping previously installed.
Phase IV
We designed the route which consisted of connecting to valve 33-R-1 on the east end and to the “run” side of the first tee at the east side of Lift Station #1. We were able to use the existing route for the majority of the project. We did need to reroute in few areas. We worked with the geotechnical engineer to confirm the route during the project.
We provided overall design and construction management, ensuring adherence to the project design schedule and successful completion of the project. Construction management responsibilities include review of contractor submittals, responding to requests for information, progress meetings, construction observation and inspections, as-builts and project closeout.

As the Designer of Record, Art Anderson provided engineering design services and subconsultant coordination to Triton Marine Construction on a design-build contract for drydock upgrades at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, WA.
This project consisted of two parts. The first task was to remove approximately 1,100 feet of chains and stanchions around Drydock 1 and replace them with a removable pipe railing system. The second task was to install approximately 1,900 feet of a stainless-steel cable horizontal lifeline at the East and West altars of Drydock 5, to provide safe maintenance access of existing utilities.

The Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) 2302 is a 24,231sf, three-story, multi-building concrete structure and the Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQ) 2102 is a three-story, concrete framed structure of approximately 55,635 square feet that included 96 living modules and several offices, stairwells, lounges and other common spaces. The military required all structures to be repaired and modernized to comply with current Uniform Facility Code and other building codes such as anti-terrorism standards, seismic requirements, and energy codes.
Tompco-Triton JV was awarded the design-build contract for this $11 million project and their team member, Washington Engineering, contracted with Art Anderson to be their engineering design sub-consultant. The contract required the team to provide design drawings and construction support services to correct building code deficiencies in the BEQs, while re-configuring and updating the living modules with features and finishes identified in Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 4-721-10 Navy and Marine Corps Bachelor Housing. The project was also required to comply with DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 for energy-star compliant HVAC equipment and to use Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) strategies to optimize energy efficiency and performance.
For BEQ 2302, Art Anderson’s mechanical and electrical design included drawings and specifications for HVAC, plumbing systems, fire protection systems, electrical power and lighting, and LEED consulting for four dormitory buildings, 62 feet wide x 32 feet deep, with two modules per floor of each building and each separated by a 2-hour fire wall.

The USAV Worthy is a Missile Range Instrumentation Ship operated by the United States Army. The existing bridge mast needed modifications to shorten the height, reposition it forward, and design a new access staircase and platform to the pilot house. After a ship check to verify existing structure and conditions, our team designed the requested modifications.
Our team provided the structural drawings and Trim & Stability Book/Intact Stability updates for the vessel. To update the intact stability analysis, our team had to reproduce the original wind profile and calculations since we did not have native files. Art Anderson completed a weight change calculation and submitted to ABS in support of the stability update.

A collard vessel, who’s mission is to ferry personnel and act as a dive boat, required a stability analysis. Our Marine team was provided the 3D model, initial centers of gravity and 4 loading conditions of the vessel to perform the analysis. We created General Hydro Statics (GHS) models and evaluated the stability, our team also conducted an air incline assessment. Collard vessels must meet “swamping” criteria (when wave water comes into a boat). The vessel was unique in shape and made standard criteria irrelevant. We were able to verify that the vessel would meet CFR minimums and our team proceeded to coordinated with the US Coast Guard to get the vessel approved.

A new 600hp outboard engine was available and our client wanted to see what structural design changes would be required if multiple of these engines were installed on an existing vessel design. With a higher weight and thrust force, stress points on the transom were going to arise from the new engine. Art Anderson performed a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine if the transom would accommodate the larger engine. We modeled the transom and supporting structure to see where the high-stress points were. We were able to make recommendations concerning where to add supports for the new engines to be used on the vessel.

Art Anderson worked as a consultant to the Parsons Corporation in the installation of wireless internet (Wi-Fi) connections aboard the vessels and in the terminals of the Washington State Ferry (WSF) system.
Because of our extensive experience working on both WSF vessels and terminals, Parsons contracted with us to provide the necessary engineering services to install the equipment. Our scope of work included providing inspections, drawings, coordinating with WSF personnel and participating in project meetings.
We provided standard drawings including the necessary details for mounting Wi-Fi antennas. We participated in a kickoff meeting with Parsons and WSF personnel to agree on our approach and gain commitment on the turnaround for submittals.
After completion of design, we were also tasked with providing construction support services for the installation of the Wi-Fi equipment. This included performing inspections of the equipment as constructed and verification that installations were conducted according to design. Our on-site project representative coordinated between ship personnel, WSF inspectors, shipyard workers, network installers and Parsons as the prime consultant. Our team obtained buy-in from WSF inspectors and engineers when installations had to be altered based on found conditions.
Our representative also wrote informal daily status reports and ensured the vessel was clean and ready to be in service for morning runs.

Art Anderson played a pivotal role in the development and modernization of Clackamas County’s Canby Ferry, the M.J. LEE, which transports vehicles and pedestrians across the Willamette River near Canby, Oregon. The vessel accommodates up to 9 automobiles and 49 passengers, including trucks, farm equipment, RVs, and bicycles.
From 1994 to 1997, Art Anderson provided comprehensive services for the ferry’s original design:

1994: Conducted a feasibility and economic study.
1995: Delivered concept and full contract design packages, including plans, specifications, and cost estimates.
1997: Acted as the owner’s representative during construction.

In 2010, Art Anderson was contracted again to support upgrades during the ferry’s extended drydock in 2011-2012. The original design featured an electro-hydraulic propulsion system powered by overhead trolley wires. The County sought to replace the deck-mounted Z-drive thrusters with a fully electric system that would still use the existing trolley power source.
Upgrade design services were delivered in three phases:
Task 1: Feasibility and Concept Design

Verified vessel conditions against County-provided documentation.
Conducted a feasibility study evaluating propulsion alternatives, electric load analysis, and retention of existing power infrastructure.
Developed concept designs with preliminary drawings, specifications, and cost estimates.
Submitted approved design documents to the U.S. Coast Guard.

Task 2: Final Design Development

Completed upgrade design drawings, specifications, and cost estimates to 100% for inclusion in bid documents.

Task 3: Bid and Construction Support

Assisted the County in preparing public bid documents and responding to bidder inquiries.
Provided construction support during the drydock period.

Additional optional improvements included:

Replacement of hydraulic pipes and hoses for ramp/barrier actuation, emphasizing noise reduction.
Specification of vegetable-based hydraulic fluid to reduce environmental risk.
Installation of quick-acting, watertight manhole hatches.
Modifications to resolve sea valve issues.
Enhanced ramp lifting system to extend wire rope longevity.
Addition of an air conditioning unit to the pilot house.

Art Anderson also:

Studied electrical panel locations for improved access and reduced voltage drop.
Relocated below-deck electrical gear above deck.
Improved switchboard access.
Designed an air-cooled backup generator.
Replaced incandescent running lights with LEDs.

Finally, Art Anderson provided complete As-Built drawings for the County’s maintenance and overhaul records.

## Art Anderson Celebrates National Maritime Day
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/national-maritime-day/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-08-18

Art Anderson Celebrates National Maritime Day! Today is National Maritime Day, a time to acknowledge the vital role the maritime industry plays across the country. It’s an opportunity to appreciate the rich maritime heritage of our local area and recognize the dedicated professionals who are essential to this field. Here at Art Anderson, we’re proud to be based in Bremerton—a true maritime hub—and to contribute to this legacy through innovative marine design and engineering work.
The History of National Maritime Day
National Maritime Day, observed annually on May 22nd, was established by Congress in 1933 to commemorate the day the SS Savannah departed from Georgia in 1819 destined to become the first steamship to successfully cross the Atlantic. This trip across the ocean connected communities from around the world and ushered in a new era for maritime commerce and travel. The holiday was created during the Great Depression to bolster the American merchant marine during economic challenges.
Puget Sound’s Maritime Legacy
The waters of the Puget Sound have been nourishing and connecting communities for centuries. The Coast Salish people indigenous to the region relied on the waters for food sources and to establish trading posts with neighboring tribes. Communities across the Puget Sound region formed around water access. As European settlers moved to the area in the mid-19th century, the densely forested landscape inspired the timber industry that soon transformed the area into a shipbuilding hub.
The early 20th century attracted a fleet of privately operated boats that became known as the “Mosquito Fleet”, toting people and materials across the Sound to the many islands and peninsulas. New enterprises emerged within the shipping industry, including commercial fishing, cargo transportation and ship building and repair. When the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard was built in 1891, Bremerton became a cornerstone for the region’s economy and national defense.
Art Anderson’s Maritime Support
The maritime industry remains a vital force in the Pacific Northwest. Our talented team offers marine design and engineering services for new vessel design, renovations, repairs and improvements. The core of our marine practice involves preparing bid-ready plans, specifications and cost estimates for repair, modification or replacement of all types of shipboard systems. Over the years Art Anderson has had the pleasure of working alongside:

Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for over 65 years
Washington State Ferries for over 45 years
Alaska Marine Ferry System for 45 years
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for 25 years
Kitsap Transit for 20 years
And we’ve worked on 12+ ports and harbors for local municipalities in the Puget Sound alone

We’re proud to use our expertise in naval architecture and marine engineering to improve our local maritime infrastructure since our beginnings in 1957. Happy National Maritime Day!

Art Anderson celebrates team with Art Anderson Days! For more than 40 years, Art Anderson has set aside a special week each year to celebrate our incredible team—AA Days. It’s our way of saying thank you for the hard work, dedication, and teamwork that make this company thrive. The week is always packed with great food, fun events, and the kind of memories that remind us of why we love what we do.
“What started as a lighthearted addition to our annual company meetings years ago”, as President & CEO Ben Anderson puts it, “AA Days has grown into a much-anticipated tradition that brings all of our staff together for a week of celebration.”
A Week of Food, Fun, and Connection
AA Days is all about stepping back from the daily routine to celebrate our shared accomplishments. Here’s a glimpse of what’s in store at Art Anderson this week!:

Delicious meals: Each team takes a turn hosting a meal, and the results never disappoint—think breakfast bars, taco feasts, and snacks – lots and lots of snacks!
Fun and games: From trivia to STEM challenges to the legendary Arty Awards on Friday’s closing ceremony, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. It’s a chance to laugh, compete, and connect with coworkers.
Company meetings—but better: Yes, we still do actual work and we offer employment benefit workshops during AA Days, but we keep the week lively, engaging, and yes—actually enjoyable.
Giving back: During the week our staff will be collecting basic hygiene and school supplies for Bremerton’s High Schools new Free Panty. This station will be serve yourself for kids that need it.

More Than Just a Good Time
While AA Days is all about having fun, it’s also a time to recognize one another and strengthen our team.

Madi, mechanical engineer, on a ship check.
March is a special month—not only does it bring the hopeful signs of spring, but it’s dedicated to celebrating the incredible contributions of women throughout history and their increasing presence in diverse fields. At Art Anderson, we’re committed to amplifying the voices of women across various industries. That’s why we’re thrilled to designate March as “Warch,” a month-long celebration of women’s achievements, particularly in the STEM/AEC industries.
Important Dates in Warch
Warch is jam-packed with meaningful days dedicated to recognizing women’s impact:

March 8th: International Women’s Day: A global day that celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
February 11th (observed annually) (yes we know this was last month, but we want to celebrate this EVERY day): International Day of Women and Girls in Science: This promotes full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.
First week of March: Women in Construction Week: Highlights the growing role of women in the construction industry and their valuable contributions.
All month long: Women in History: Commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.

A Rich History of Women in Engineering
While the formal profession of engineering is relatively new, women with remarkable engineering skills existed long before. Early examples include Tabitha Babbitt, who invented the circular saw, and Sarah Guppy, who patented a bridge foundation design. The dawn of the engineering profession in the 19th century saw pioneering women like Elizabeth Bragg and Julia Morgan becoming the first to receive bachelor’s degrees in engineering, paving the way for future generations. Despite facing societal barriers and limited access to education, these women broke down stereotypes and made significant contributions to various engineering fields. Throughout history, women like Edith Clarke, Emily Roebling, and Margaret Hamilton have continued to inspire with their innovations and achievements, constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of engineering.
Why Women in Engineering Matter
Engineering is at the heart of innovation, shaping our infrastructure and driving technological advancements. Today, women comprise 29% of the STEM workforce [National Science Foundation]. In the US, they make up roughly 21% of engineering majors and 19% of computer science majors. Here’s why having more women in engineering is crucial:

Diverse Perspectives: Women provide unique viewpoints that lead to more creative solutions, broadening the scope of problem-solving.
Balanced Teams: Greater diversity in engineering results in more inclusive workplaces and better decision-making processes, reflecting the diverse world we live in.
Role Models: Women engineers inspire future generations, breaking down stereotypes and demonstrating that anyone can excel in STEM fields.

At Art Anderson, we believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. Our commitment to women in engineering doesn’t end with Warch. We want to cultivate an environment where everyone feels empowered and valued all year round.

## 65 Years is an Accomplishment Worth Celebrating
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/65-years-is-an-accomplishment-worth-celebrating/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-08-18

Art Anderson has reached our 65th Anniversary Milestone, an accomplishment worth celebrating. Our longevity can be attributed to many things… the ability to adapt to the constant change and growth of technology, the support of a tight community and our reputation of delivering successful projects. In truth, it comes down to relationships. Our relationships with our clients and our community.
35 Year Old Words that are Still Relevant Today
Recently, we came across an article from 1985 that was written by Eric Anderson, previous Owner of Art Anderson Associates, that we still find relevant today:
“Some things just don’t change. The happiness last week at having two clients come in through the doors with work was contagious. More stratifying to me was reflecting on their reasons for doing business with us. Neither appeared to expect other than fair prices. Both chose Art Anderson Associates with trust in our commitment to their success. Other work coming into the office necessitate recalling some folks from home and CDI. Their readiness to come to work created the same feeling of satisfaction. In one case, having Marcia, who makes it a priority that people have “a pencil” when they need one to get their work done, made a difference. Another has a preference towards our firm that implies his identity with company beliefs.
Without stating it, our orientation to the success of people associated with Art Anderson Associates is visible. Past projects like the Bremerton Community Theater or M/V KLOCKITAT were “first tries” and successes for our customers. For student/employees we can look to John Carlson and Art Mikelsen to reflect on the value of educational policies. I am pressed to differentiate between our and their success.
Beyond Art Anderson Associates and its clients are our associates in business and our neighbors in the communities in which we work and live. The motivation to share in their goals is harder for me to put into words. It can be good business to do so. Art Anderson Associates involvement in the Seattle Chamber of Commerce is good business. Participating in its maritime committee, however, is also good citizenship. Having six employees as volunteer workers on the drive to build a new YMCA is working for the success of our community. The list of other employee contributions of time is longer than you may realize because supporting the success of others is a modest endeavor. It is also a part of what is Art Anderson Associates.
I want to acknowledge your attitude and its benefit to the future of the firm, other employees, and people we associate with. It is a thrill for me to witness the results of your commitment, be it an old ship brought to life, a drafter metamorphized into a skilled designer or creating a better community in which to live or work. We often cannot choose our attitude. It seems to me to be the glue that sustains the company.”
Eric Anderson, Former President
Originally published in July 1985 in the Anchorlines (Art Anderson’s internal newsletter)
Years later, this article still describes the culture within Art Anderson. Sure, people have changed, and locations, but the meaning behind the words remains the same. The core values, established 65 years ago, continue to lead our organization. Do what inspires us. Be innovative. Deliver what we promise. Invest in relationships and partnerships. Love where you work and what you do.
65th Anniversary Milestone
When Ben Anderson took leadership in 2013, he envisioned building upon the reputation Art Anderson had earned and be the best company we were capable of. The mission continues to be a transparent company that celebrates the successes of our clients.
After 65 years, and 3 generations of Andersons, Art Anderson has overcome many obstacles. With the obstacles comes growth, strength and determination. At this 65th Anniversary Milestone, Art Anderson continues to be firmly grounded in engineering design with a unique array of disciplines and has set the stage for improving the industry of engineering. Experienced in both landslide and seaside engineering disciplines, Art Anderson can address all engineering challenges. From project preplanning through construction, from ships at sea to buildings on shore and everywhere in-between, Art Anderson will exceed your expectations of what a single firm can provide.

Interns – A Yearly Tradition in Growing Engineering Careers
For decades, Art Anderson has welcomed a new class of bright, driven students who join our team for a few short months and leave here with real-world experience, professional growth, and a clearer sense of their career path. We believe internships are more than just a seasonal tradition with the arrival of summer; they are an investment in the future of engineering.
Our interns make valuable contributions towards Art Anderson’s success from day one. Whether assisting with marine stability analyses or supporting architecture and engineering site visits, they participate in real projects and gain hands-on exposure to the full project lifecycle. We intentionally balance independence with mentorship, offering interns the freedom to explore solutions while providing technical guidance that fosters both engineering skill and leadership growth. For many, this experience becomes the launching pad to a full-time career.
This year we welcome three interns to the Art Anderson team – Chelsea, Mason and Ben.
Recent Interns Have Shared Their Experience:

Clark, 2019 – “Projects that Art Anderson works on are not traditional and repetitive… they brought new challenges that required me to apply my knowledge in unique ways.”
Sai, 2021 – “I gained meaningful experience with GHS, Rhino, AutoCAD, and writing real technical specs. It wasn’t just busy work.”
Henry, 2022 – “I developed critical engineering skills and got to interact directly with clients. Seeing how a consulting firm really works was invaluable.”
Chelsea, 2025 – “Not only did I learn a lot of technical skills at Art Anderson, but I also contributed directly to ongoing projects. I was quickly onboarded onto multiple projects and worked alongside other engineers who were all great mentors and teachers.”

From Interns to Industry Leaders:
Art Anderson offers internship opportunities to grow future leaders in our field. Several of our current staff started as interns at Art Anderson and have gone on to build lifelong careers here:

Sean Hoynes, PE – 45 years with Art Anderson, now Chief Engineer
Marty McKay, PE – 24 years, now VP of Marine Engineering
Jeff Walker – 20 years, now Principal Marine Designer
Madison Asaro, EIT – 4 years in and currently working toward her PE license

Each year, we are proud to take part in the development of the next generation of engineers, and this summer is no exception. We are eager to see how Chelsea, Mason, and Ben grow through hands-on experience, mentorship, and real project work. By supporting emerging talent, we are not just building up individuals, we are supporting the future of the engineering industry.

Art Anderson provided naval architecture and marine engineering services to develop detailed designs and drawings for waste heat recovery systems for the Issaquah class of Washington State Ferries (WSF). The existing main engine cooling system on the Issaquah class is a keel cooler system with an AMOT valve that controls the engine outlet cooling water temperature. The heaters in passenger and crew areas are all steam heaters fed by two oil-fired steam boilers.
The design work performed by Art Anderson modified the existing main engine jacket water cooling system, directing the jacket water through a plate heat exchanger and in turn, transferring heat to a new hot water heating system. We retained many of the same components as the old steam heating system, but some were replaced to ensure an adequate temperature could be maintained. Our calculations indicated heat recovery from the main engines alone could provide enough energy to heat the entire ship. However, two oil-fired hot water boilers were installed as backups to the heat recovery system to allow independent operation from the main engines.
Additional drawings we produced included:

Hot water piping diagram
Equipment foundation drawing
HVAC system modification drawing
Main engine cooling modification drawing
Heat recovery system electrical installation drawing
Power modification drawing
Indication and alarm modification drawing
Control and indication installation drawing

Art Anderson provided naval architecture and marine engineering services to assist in converting the former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) T-AGOS class research vessel into the Deep Submergence Search Vehicle (DSSV) Pressure Drop.
The initial tasking for this project focused on several small tasks to update the vessel’s Fire Safety and International Labor Organization Plans and conduct a regulatory investigation into various topics in support of transferring the vessels flag state to the Marshal Islands. Due to excellent performance, the project continued to grow in dollar value and engineering complexity over the next 1.5 years to where it is today.
The DSSV Pressure Drop was the support and ocean bottom mapping vessel for the Five Deeps Expedition (https://fivedeeps.com/) which successfully completed the first manned dive to the deepest point in the world’s five oceans. In preparation for the vessel’s nine-month circumnavigation, Art Anderson completed 34 tasks across various shipboard systems and structures. This included several feasibility studies, design, and engineering work to modify existing and design new systems and structure, and shipyard support work to ensure quality assurance and conduct a stability test. Most of the work completed was submitted to and approved by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).

Art Anderson provided naval architecture and marine engineering for the US Fish and Wildlife Service’s RV Tiglax. In a season, the Tiglax may sail to islands in Southeast Alaska, the far western end of the Aleutian Chain, and into the Bering Sea, typically traveling, 15,000 to 20,000 nautical miles. It conducts seabird, oceanographic, marine mammal, and fish studies in the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge.
The vessel was scheduled for the mid-life upgrades to extend the useful life of the vessel. We provided technical support to evaluate all Navigation, Communication and Control systems aboard the RV Tiglax. We performed a site visit to view the vessel systems, interviewed crew and staff, and determined operating needs for the future.
Original ship electrical/electronic specifications were updated. Systems evaluated included: electrical and non-electrical navigation aids, navigational lighting, announcing systems, alarm systems, radio communications, sonars, transducers and indicating, ordering, and metering systems.
Art Anderson provided updated CAD Bridge and Antenna arrangement drawings, an equipment options spreadsheet and a Design Study Report providing the basis for a contract to install all or portions of the Communications and Controls systems.
Our client was looking at incorporating new equipment alongside the older equipment. Our team presented the options to the client for selections and determined the best way to integrate the chosen equipment. The selection of the new equipment was a challenge for the client because they had to determine the future of the vessel and what type of equipment would be best for future missions.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) engaged Art Anderson to provide naval architecture and marine engineering design services in connection with the design, fabrication, and delivery of a new Push Boat, MV Liberty Belle, and Barge Ferry for the IDOT-operated Brussels Ferry crossing the Illinois River between Calhoun and Jersey Counties, just north of Grafton, IL.
A trade-off study was first completed by Art Anderson that examined multiple options of configuration and size for the new barge ferry, taking into account the IDOT’s goal of increasing overall route capacity. Upon selection of the preferred design, Art Anderson prepared a concept design and preliminary plans for the structural design, mechanical systems design, and electrical systems design. After preliminary plan review by IDOT staff was completed, the pre-final plans for the 136-foot Barge Ferry and pre-final plans for the 60-foot Push Boat were completed by Art Anderson.
During the Phase II Design and CMS Procurement Process and Award, the final vessel design and plan drawings were prepared for providing a complete shipyard-ready design package. The construction of the two vessels was awarded to Massman Construction Company.
During Phase III Construction of the vessels, Art Anderson provided crucial support and technical assistance to monitor construction, support trials, and resolve issues prior to final delivery and acceptance. Both vessels were constructed with steel hulls with the Barge Ferry able to accommodate 21 cars/or 149 passengers. In addition, we led efforts to obtain USCG MSC Application and Plan approval.
The Liberty Belle and Barge 2012 unit operates on the Mississippi River providing round-the-clock service with more than 250 daily crossings.

On behalf of the Washington State Department of Transportation, Art Anderson completed the design of a new bridge tender workboat used for inspections and maintenance on the I-90 floating bridge in Seattle, Washington.
The scope of the project included conducting a complete survey of the existing vessel’s condition and preparing a Preliminary Study Report to document with text and photographs the “as found” conditions. A follow-on Refurbishment/New Workboat Assessment Report was prepared to serve as the basis for the State’s decision to proceed with refurbishment or replacement of the vessel. The Preliminary Study Report provided a listing of all items surveyed, conditions found, and initial recommendations broken down into a standard Ship Work Breakdown System (SWBS) format.
For the subsequent Refurbishment/New Workboat Assessment Report, Art Anderson personnel developed the options of refurbishing the vessel or purchasing a new workboat. This effort involved defining the refurbishment work items that were used to develop the cost estimates, identifying equipment upgrades with similar size and rated capacity to current equipment, and defining improvements that meet all current applicable codes and standards, such as Tier 3 diesel engines. Work items spanned numerous ship systems, including mechanical, propulsion, controls, pilothouse systems, hull and coatings, crane, tank refurbishment, and fire suppression. The new construction option analysis incorporated all vessel mission requirements, and also analyzed alternative delivery methods (new design/build, COTS design/build, or build per existing design). Both of these analyses involved development of cost estimates for the work packages, schedules for bid/design/construction, and for the new option, an estimate of the value of the existing workboat.
The next project deliverable was a feasibility study and cost/benefit analysis comparing the two options. This included definition of new construction design requirements, and identification of required/desired improvements. After State acceptance of the reports, the new construction option was selected, and following the design phase, Art Anderson managed the construction of the new workboat.

SWIFT FLOATING SURFACE COLLECTOR DOWNSTREAM FISH PASSAGE

As a sub-consultant to Black & Veatch, Art Anderson provided multidisciplinary engineering design services for a $60 million-dollar Floating Surface Collector (FSC) Barge and Access Trestle that serves as a downstream Fish Passage Facility for PacifiCorp’s Swift No. 1 Hydroelectric Project on the Lewis River in rural southwest Washington State. The Fish Passage Facility was developed as a result of PacifiCorp’s settlement agreement for the relicensing of its hydroelectric facilities. In accordance with the Lewis River Hydroelectric Projects Settlement Agreement (SA), “restoration of anadromous fish runs will be established around the Merwin, Yale, and Swift Dams, and fish will spawn and rear naturally in the habitat available upstream of Swift Dam. Juvenile fish migrating downstream from this habitat will be collected with new fish passage facilities at Swift Dam.”
Our scope of work was broken into two phases, Phase 1 resulted in the concept design for the project and Phase 2 developed the PS&E Package for the final design and construction bid package. The scope of work for our firm included engineering analysis, design, and construction support services for the Fish Passage Facility, including the design of the FSC barge; instrumentation and controls; the access trestle; agement systems; and the fish sorting and handling systems.
A large fluctuation in the reservoir was one of the primary engineering challenges Art Anderson faced in the design of the barge’s mooring and access. Our solution included a braced pile trestle; a 10-story mooring tower designed to handle heavy service loads; a work platform to allow maintenance of barge mechanical systems via mobile cranes; a 20-ton bridge crane system; and personnel access systems to and from the barge.
The FSC Barge is a floating platform with dimensions of 82’x170’x28’ and includes a variety of complex mechanisms for collecting, sorting, sampling, and tagging downstream-travelling juvenile salmon. These complex mechanisms include screens, channels, baffles, cleaners, flumes, holding tanks and pump systems.
Art Anderson provided all naval architectural and marine engineering analysis and design services for the FSC barge and ballast system, taking into account worker safety, ease of maintenance, life-cycle costs, and system redundancy requirements. The FSC Barge is intended to operate continuously, during all flows and seasons, for a 50-year life cycle. Therefore, designing to minimize downtime, or allow “hot-swapping” equipment that will wear out or break during ongoing operations was an important design criterion.
The FSC is moored to a fixed structure consisting of two primary elements:

a 650’-long multi-span trestle erected with 18’-wide by 110’-long pre-fabricated bridge trusses
a 185’-tall FSC mooring tower that doubles as a hopper-to-truck fish transfer work platform.

The site is remote, with restrictive access. An overall design and procurement strategy for this project was to design to accommodate, to the maximum extent possible, off-site prefabrication through modularization, thereby minimizing expensive on-site assembly. Trucking contractors were engaged to determine the largest prefabricated items that could be safely transported to the site. To facilitate field assembly and provide for future maintenance of the FSC, a dry dock facility was constructed on the Swift Reservoir. The facility included an earth-filled channel and sheet pile cofferdam system and included a mooring system to facilitate movement of the FSC in and out of the facility. It also included a dewatering system to remove accumulated water within the drydock. Our firm was responsible for developing the dry dock requirements, permits, design and bid documents to a sufficient level for a competitive design-build procurement.

Art Anderson worked with Black & Veatch and R2 Resource Consultants for the design of a floating surface collector (FSC) for a Portland General Electric (PGE) dam on the North Fork of the Clackamas River in Oregon. The Clackamas River settlement agreement requires that PGE install a 1,000-cfs FSC to attract downstream fish from the reservoir for collection and transport downstream. PGE contracted with Black & Veatch to prepare the 25% concept design, and later contracted to complete the design to the 100% level.
Art Anderson has served as Black & Veatch’s naval architecture and marine engineering subconsultant
Concept Design Phase
Art Anderson was responsible for defining environmental loading criteria, establishing structural criteria, preparing a preliminary structural design, estimating loading on facility alternatives, mooring/anchorage design and the preparation of all associated drawings and associated project documentation.
The drawings provided include general arrangements for multiple alternatives, the FSC’s four decks and gangway access; anchor mooring drawings; FSC structural framing plans; mechanical ballast and trim system diagram; structural and mechanical drawings for FSC screening systems; fish transport pipeline plans; and exclusion net plans.
Technical memorandums prepared as part of the project scope addressed environmental conditions, FSC loading, mooring systems, constructability trade-offs and belly tank design considerations. We were also responsible for preparing the weight estimate, hydrostatic analysis, and other trim and stability tasks.
Final Design Phase
Art Anderson provided detailed naval architecture and marine engineering services. This effort included updating the 25% design weight to include items developed during the earlier phase and keeping current the design weight estimate throughout the remainder of the project. Weight estimate reports were prepared for each of the four submittal packages in this phase. We were also responsible for revising the 25% intact stability calculations, preparing damage stability calculations for flooding of any two adjacent compartments, and preparing a ballasting/ dewatering sequence that demonstrates that excessive trim and/or heel does not occur during the transition from pumped-out loading condition to operating loading condition.
Art Anderson also provided General Arrangement drawing sheets that depict the arrangement of all decks, including equipment and outfitting. We prepared drawings that depict the structural arrangement and construction details for fabrication of the gangway float attached to the FSC, including supporting structural calculations. We also prepared 3-dimensional models of the FSC structure, gangway float, bilge and ballast piping system, and HVAC system with sufficient detail to identify and avoid critical interferences.
Our responsibilities included structural and marine system design for the FSC barge. This effort included the development of 164 drawing sheets that show all arrangements and details of the FSC structure. Scantling sizes were calculated according to ABS rules. Bilge and ballast system, sounding tube and vent system, and HVAC drawings were prepared depicting all arrangements and details, and including all supporting calculations for sizing and selection. SNAME and ASHRAE standards were used in the calculation of heating and cooling loads.
Anchoring and mooring drawings were also developed by Art Anderson, depicting the FSC’s seven mooring lines and anchors. We used Optimoor software to assist in the preparation of the supporting calculations.
Art Anderson prepared technical specifications for the FSC’s construction, which incorporated material, welding, inspection, testing, tolerance, and quality control requirements. Input was provided to update the 25% design construction costs for the FSC’s fabrication and assembly in a remote location in the vicinity of the dam, and incorporated all known assembly site development, mobilization, demobilization, and site restoration costs. During the construction procurement phase, Art Anderson was responsible for preparing responses to RFIs and providing technical support for contractor change orders.

Art Anderson worked with the USACE Portland District to develop conceptual options for the design of a Floating Screen Structure (FSS) to support and function with the Selective Withdrawal Structure attached to the Detroit Dam in Oregon. A 30% concept design was completed for future detailed design development.
The conceptual design of the FSS included a ballasting system to adjust the draft of the structure between the functional and maintenance positions. The system incorporated 37 individual tanks spread over the 300-foot-long structure and totaling over 4 million gallons of water with four 10” ballast pumps and two manifolds for ballasting and trimming. This ballasting system was designed, modeled, and tested in PipeFlo to ensure proper operation. A time dependent simulation was also developed in PipeFlo’s Overtime Module to accurately reflect the constantly changing waterline of the structure during the 8 hour long ballasting sequence.
The FSS will be installed at Detroit Dam Reservoir on the North Santiam River. This steel structure is currently 250 ft. long, 160 ft. wide, and 70 ft. deep and will be used to attract and collect juvenile fish. This joint effort with the Portland District produced several early alternatives were down selected and designed in conjunction with the USACE selective withdrawal structure. Art Anderson collaborated with specialty firms for biological and hydrological elements of the design.
Project Key Highlights:

Two screened channels to attract and transport the fish from the reservoir forebay to fish collection pods for transport around the dam
Mooring system to accommodate nearly 130 feet of reservoir elevation change
A ballast system capable of raising and lowering the FSS over 50 feet to support fish collection and maintenance operations
An automated trim system to maintain the FSS trim and heel with in 1” during various operational conditions within a 10-hour shift

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) identified a need for a small-scale, portable floating fish collection (PFFC) device to gather additional information on juvenile fish movement in Willamette Valley Project (WVP) reservoirs. This device was intended to provide a cost-effective means of safely obtaining juvenile fish in WVP reservoirs for use in research, monitoring and evaluation efforts as well as to gather information on the behavior of both tagged and run of river fish near and within a small floating surface collector. There are three planned deployments for the device: Lookout Point, Detroit and Cougar Reservoirs. Of these Cougar Reservoir represented the most challenging of the installations due to the large storage capacity provided for flood control and resulting wide range of reservoir water surface elevations. The PFFC design ultimately provides the USACE a device that can be broken down into components sized to allow safe and normal transport over the state highway system.
Art Anderson provided naval architecture and marine engineering for the design of the PFFC. A compressed design schedule was met by designing the floating fish collector in-house as an integrated vessel with multiple sub-systems. Art Anderson completed the design of all structural elements with the exception of the fish collection module designed by HDR.
Working from concepts developed for the feasible solution to the portable floating fish collector (PFFC) requirements, the following tasks carried the design to be released for construction and installation bids.
Task 1: Vessel Design
Art Anderson provided the HDR Team with marine structural specifications, structural sketches for drafting in Microstation 3D and sealed design drawings and specifications for marine structures for the design of the PFFC Vessel. Design elements included: A flow containment shell with support beams and associated foundations for the fish collection module to be suspended in the bay between floatation devices required to support the loads. Foundations to support fish collection flow pumps (designed by others) inside the flow containment shell. A gantry rail crane system including features to support operational requirements in fish collection and mooring. Elevated deck grating and structural grating supports that included removable deck sections for operational access to the fish collection components; hatches; modular assembly and disassembly; clearance and support for electrical, hydraulic and mooring wire runs. Vessel outfit foundations for winches, fairleads, switch gear, VFDs, cable spooler, lighting and other deck mounted equipment. Handrails and personnel access points.
Art Anderson also delivered the vessel’s Weight Estimate and calculated weights, drafts, and trim for the full operational load case with pumps running and mooring loads applied; hydrostatic calculations to confirm stability over the range of anticipated operating conditions; calculations for the connector loads for the flexi-floats and specifications for connectors; performed an auditable QA/QC Review; and maintained coordination with other members of design team.
Task 2: Mooring System Design
The existing conceptual mooring system was reviewed and the design advanced using maximum current and wind event values provided by the Corps. Mooring calculations were used to determine the fleeting mobility of the moored barge within operational watch circles at multiple pool elevations. Calculated mooring loads provided the basis for winch, wire and anchor selection and set the levels for load rendering in the mooring winches.
Art Anderson provided naval architecture and marine engineering for design basis calculations of the environmental loading on the floating fish collector (wind, current, and waves) based on environmental criteria provided by the Corps; definition of the watch circle and loads on the mooring system over the range of anticipated reservoir elevations (185 feet of variation) and environmental loads; calculations to define the size and type of anchor specified for the system; and completed calculations of the anticipated rendering loads to support the development of wire rope, winch, and hydraulic power unit specifications. We developed the construction specifications for the fairlead, anchors, wire rope, connectors, winches, and hydraulic power unit. Also provided mooring system sketches for drafting in Microstation 3D.
Task 3: Marine Operations Plan
Art Anderson developed a marine operations plan and the associated costs to enable the deployment and recovery of the PFFC and associated devices at Cougar Reservoir. These plans demonstrate the method for deployment and recovery of modular vessel sections from trucks; provide instructions for the assembly and disassembly of the floatation devices and all other modular components; show deployment and retrieval plans for the anchors and mooring system; and show deployment and retrieval plans for the subsea power cable.
Project Key Highlights:

Integrated Floating Structure to support Client Designed Fish Sys.
Developed Bid Level Drawings & Specifications
Prepared Construction Cost Estimates
Floating Structure Designed to ABS Standards
Electrical Distribution
Intact & Damage Stability Analysis
Manned & Unmanned Space Ventilation System
Automated Ballasting & Trimming System
Mooring Connection Structural Design

Art Anderson completed a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on the master links connecting the lifeboats to the davits onboard the Carnival Cruise Dream. The manufacturer had recommended that the links be changed from large to shorter links. Since the change, the client observed premature failures of the master links. The davit manufacturer sited material defects as the likely cause and recommended no change. The client continued to see premature failures.
After it was determined that there was no apparent structural cause for the failure, the team continued to research the issue. The conclusion was the shorter link, while as strong, did not allow the links to freely rotate causing excessive point loading likely leading to the premature failure.

Art Anderson provided engineering and consultation services to convert the former NOAA T-AGOS class research ship into the Deep Submersible Support Vessel (DSSV) Pressure Drop. The DSSV Pressure Drop serves as the support vessel for the Deep Submergence Vessel (DSV) Limiting Factor, the first manned submarine to reach the deepest points in the world’s five oceans and be capable of repetitive full ocean depth dives. The vessel is ABS classed. All engineering packages adhered to ABS Rules for Building and Classing Steel Vessels under 90m.
The scope involved 35 tasks to date, as support continues throughout the duration of its continued operations. Notable design packages which were developed and provided in shipyard specifications included: Winch and crane systems and foundations, a tender platform addition, bulwark, and boarding door modifications, installed a Kongsberg EM124 sonar and associated gondola, and a RO unit install. Due to the new mission, new load conditions were developed, and two stability analysis and Trim & Stability Book updates were made, along with a Stability Test.
Similar to the Thomas Jefferson, The DSSV Pressure Drop has an inherent list and uses ballast water to correct it. Due to operational and regulatory requirements, the ship required a permanent ballast solution. Art Anderson performed a Permanent Ballast Study to determine potential solutions to achieve the desired ballast requirements. These included both fixed “hard” ballast and permanent water ballast. Working with ABS and the vessel’s flag state, a permanent ballast solution was determined, and Art Anderson developed the required engineering documentation to implement it.

Art Anderson was awarded a project to develop a small high-speed watercraft (SHARC) that can serve as a littoral surface connector capable of delivering smaller autonomous, remote, and manned vehicles and systems; and would have a rail system to attach modular mission packages for operations directly from the vessel or decking that supports vehicles containing modular mission packages.
The main technical objective of Phase I is to develop a viable, feasible, and achievable concept design for a SHARC that satisfies program objectives of speed, payload, operations, and amphibious capability, while demonstrating that it can be developed into a useful product for the Marine Corps. The end user wanted many options and had specific parameters to be met. Our design included a catamaran designed landing craft that would allow bow to stern loading. We also included a modular cabin and items to protect the jets for stern landing.
Phase I Option further developed the technical design of the SHARC concept in order to gain a higher level of certainty that the vessel will meet its performance requirements and reduce risk during Phase II.

Art Anderson provided review, updates, inspection, and design of the SEAFAC Static Site in support of Leidos’ SEAFAC Logistics, Operations, Management, and Engineering Services program for the US Navy. The “Static Site” within SEAFAC refers to a specific testing location where vessels can be moored or suspended to allow for detailed acoustic measurements of individual components and systems.
This project consisted of three (3) tasks:

Review and Update Site Risk Recommendations – We reviewed the current risk reduction measures and proposed additional risk mitigation measures to effectively minimize the likelihood of risk realization. This involved proposing alternative strategies and/or increased inspection frequencies.
Static Site Inspection Plan – Art Anderson reviewed the site inspection documentation and prepared an updated Static Site inspection plan to describe the inspection procedures and frequencies recommended for all major components of the Static Site.
Corner Buoy Repair and Planning – We developed concepts for inspection, refurbishment, and replacement of the Static Site corner buoys. We prepared detailed plans, including surface and diver operations, for buoy refurbishment.

Art Anderson supported Creegan + D’Angelo on the Port of San Francisco’s Pier 52 Boat Launch project, acting as the lead shoreline engineering designer for the boat launch facility. The new Pier 52 Boat Launch is used by a variety of recreational boaters including kayakers and paddleboarders, sailors, anglers and power boaters. The boat launch features a 2-lane public boat launch ramp and a fully accessible low-freeboard landing float connected to the shore by an ADA gangway.
Our project scope included assisting in defining the program elements and goals of the project. We took the lead role in developing the operational characteristics of the site, site circulation; launching ramp design and boarding float design and jointly-developed the uplands concept design.
Art Anderson developed the plan and profile for the launching ramp and the overall design of the boarding float system. We were responsible for the complete design of the boarding float and guide piles and provided the design wind, wave and current forces acting on the launch. We implemented the shoreline armoring design, done by Coast & Harbor Engineering, into the overall design development drawings and construction documents.
Our scope also included preparation of all JARPA drawings as required for resource and jurisdictional agency submittal. We prepared construction cost estimates, and construction drawings. Other bid support and construction support services, including office consultation, resolution of RFI’s, DCR’s, and submittal reviews and assistance to resolve bidder inquiries were performed.

Construction support
Record drawings

Art Anderson worked on Design Development Documents that defined project details incorporating the structural, architectural, mechanical and electrical systems. Art Anderson provided 100% and Final Design Drawings and Specifications and provided construction support for the duration of the project.
For this project, there were lots of challenges with the intended pipe route. Many structures were constructed over the top of pipe in the ground. Many times, Art Anderson had to develop different routes to lower the impact during construction. Specifically, sections of the piping were underneath crane rails. Additional structures were built around the existing piping to provide support to the crane and other objects.
For the in-water work, our team was not allowed to dredge for a new path because of limitations on the permits. There were also issues with the existing wiprap causing risks for divers. A shoring structure was designed to help mitigate the risks during construction.

As prime consultant, Art Anderson provided Kitsap Transit engineering services for the design of passenger loading ramps at their Bremerton B-Float Terminal and their Port Orchard Ferry Terminal. Design for the ADA compliant ramps included gathering the necessary information for a basis of design required to develop construction and installation drawings. The design of the ramp systems includes fixed-ramps and portable transition ramps at each of the Terminals.
We collaborated with Kitsap Transit and their vessel design consultant to ensure the selected option would provide the appropriate flexibility for seamless vessel operations and then developed a construction and installation cost estimate based on the best option.

Pier 3 at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard (PSNS) is a key location for naval operations. The pier is built in sections and has a utility tunnel; between each section are expansion joints. Over time, the concrete expansion joints deteriorated and needed to be repaired.
Art Anderson designed the new concrete and the expansion joints. We paid particular attention to the products that would be placed on the pier. We know that the marine environment – salt water, rain, wind, etc. – has an impact on the longevity of the construction. We chose products would endure the harsh marine elements.

Art Anderson worked with the Whatcom County Department of Public Works to provide comprehensive planning, design, and management services for upgrades to the Lummi Island Ferry System. The project was the result of county studies which showed a need for a new ferry vessel, terminal, and upland improvements to meet the increasing transportation demand from Island residents and tourists.
Planning Phase
Throughout the contract, we acted as Owner’s Representative for developing the system’s 14-year budget plan and detailed program; drafting a Public Works Trust Fund loan application package; determining the appropriate size of the new vessel; and conducting a feasibility study and cost estimate for upgrades to both the Lummi Island and Gooseberry Point Terminals to accommodate the new ferry.
Engineering Design Phase
After completing the comprehensive planning tasks, Art Anderson was retained for the engineering design of the terminal improvements. The scope of work for the terminal improvements was broken down into three phases.
The first phase involved a significant pre-design study to determine the facility’s capacity and requirements and included:

Wing Wall Upgrade Design Study for the Lummi Island terminal
Wing Wall Replacement Study for the Gooseberry Point terminal
Breasting Dolphin Study
Vessel Mooring Study
Passenger Access and Staging Area Study
Design Analysis Report
Utility Improvements Study
Emergency Repair Study

Other services in this phase included identifying temporary permits; updating and verifying bathymetric data; collection of geotechnical data and preparation of a geotechnical report (performed by a subcontractor); compilation of vessel data; and assembly of as-built drawings.
Permitting
Next, the permitting phase was coordinated by Art Anderson with substantial collaboration with subcontractor GeoEngineers. Services performed and permits obtained included:

Biological Assessment/ESA Consultation
Shoreline Substantial Development Permit
Hydraulic Project Approval
Army Corps of Engineers Individual Permit
State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Submittal
Section 401 Water Quality Certification and Coastal Zone Management Consistency
Aquatic Lands Lease

During the final design phase, Art Anderson developed plans and specifications for wing walls, dolphins, the wave break/catwalk, mooring hardware, the passenger staging area and all relevant mechanical and electrical systems. We also performed site inspections, provided construction support, completed a JARPA submittal and provided overall project management.

Art Anderson was the design team leader for the Passenger Only Ferry Terminal (POF Terminal). The POF Terminal is the $4.5 million floating portion of the overall larger Bremerton Transportation Center. The POF Terminal is a state of the art transportation facility, designed specifically to provide seamless transportation connections for ferry passengers arriving at and departing from the Bremerton Transportation Center. The POF Terminal provides rapid docking and undocking facilities for conventional passenger-only ferries owned and operated by Washington State Ferries and Horluck Transportation Company, as well as the next generation high speed, bow loading, passenger only fast ferries currently under construction by Washington State Ferries.
The environmentally sensitive floating terminal facility provides passenger comfort and safety with numerous amenities including comfortable waiting areas, security sensitive visibility, security monitoring systems and defensible construction, and efficient pedestrian circulation flow to ensure rapid loading and unloading of passengers. The facility also features convenient accommodations for mobility impaired and other physically challenged passengers.
The multi-modal facility links area transportation including the cross sound auto ferry, transit buses, para-transit vans and buses, tour buses, and automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian corridors, as well as passenger only ferries.
As the Prime, Art Anderson provided planning and design for the improvements to the Bremerton Passenger Only Ferry Terminal. The scope of work for this project included the development of a design package for upgrades to the A-Float and B-Pontoon to allow for passenger-only ferry berthing; interim vessel maintenance functions and hotel services; installation of ramps; an ADA transition; new decking; new fendering; and the addition of utilities.
New outfitting for the terminal includes passenger shelter and staging, security, fender systems, mooring, safety railings, and a docking system for the ADA accessible passenger ferry terminal and overnight moorage facility for ferries. The service float allows daily preventative maintenance and cleaning as well as fueling for the fleet.
Mechanical engineering design improvements to the A-Float include fire protection with a hose station and sprinkler system for passenger canopy, and potable water. Mechanical systems for the service float will include fire protection, potable water, fuel, lube oil, waste oil, and sewage.
The bid package included providing Plans, Specifications and Engineering (PS&E) for structural modifications, fender design, frame roller design, ramp design, ADA transition design, electric lighting design and fire protection design. Art Anderson also developed bid packages for future work including a fueling system, outfitting for Berth 1, outfitting for Berth 2, Berth 3 options and improvements to the B-Float.
The project also included the installation of a secure, self-contained fuel tank on the uplands in a parking space; assistance in developing the state-mandated Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application and other required permits; bid support; and construction administration services.

BREMERTON
A-FLOAT
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ divider_weight=”4px” _builder_version=”4.16.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”65%” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” text_font_size=”16px” sticky_enabled=”0″]
The intent of the project was to provide cost-effective upgrades to the A-Float to provide a berth optimized for the Kitsap Transit Passenger Only ferry to Seattle, and an additional slip for use by WSF for occasions in which it uses a passenger ferry as backup to its existing auto ferry service to Bremerton.
The Bremerton A-Float is an arrow-shaped pontoon that provides two primary berthing slips on either side of the stem, and with a third smaller slip along the port side of the arrowhead. The float is used by Kitsap Transit to dock, unload passengers, reload passengers and undock in a total of five minutes.
The A-float is very similar in construction to the floating bridges pontoons located through-out the Puget Sound. It’s a 2,126 long ton, post tensioned concrete pontoon ferry dock. The A-Float was manufactured by Concrete Technology Corporation (CTC) in their Tacoma precasting plant. The pontoon was assembled from hundreds of individual concrete slabs that were erected in the CTC graving dock. The flat slabs were assembled like a three-dimensional jig saw puzzle, joints cast to join the elements and the entire pontoon post-tensioned together. The post-tensioning process results in a highly compressed concrete structure that is strong, durable, and extremely watertight.
The scope of work for the current effort includes development of a design package (architectural, civil, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering designs and cost estimates) for interim intermediate vessel maintenance functions and hotel services, ramps, ADA transition, decking, fendering and utilities.  The work also includes installation of a secure, self-contained fuel tank on the uplands, assistance in developing the state-mandated Joint Aquatic Resources Permit Application and other required permits, bid support and construction administration services.

BREMERTON

The B-Pontoon was one of five float sections that made up the old Bremerton marina breakwater. With the expansion of the marina and installation of a larger breakwater, B-Pontoon was repurposed to serve, in conjunction with A-Float, as the Port’s physical barrier/breakwater between the vehicle ferry terminal and as Kitsap Transit’s passenger-only ferry terminal.
Art Anderson, as prime consultant, provided Kitsap Transit engineering services for the design of passenger loading ramps at their Bremerton B-Float Terminal and their Port Orchard Ferry Terminal. Design elements included gathering the necessary information for a basis of design required to develop construction and installation drawings for ADA compliant ramps. The design of the ramp systems includes both a fixed ramp and a portable transition ramp at each of the Terminals.
We collaborated with Kitsap Transit and their vessel design consultant to ensure the selected option would provide the appropriate flexibility for seamless vessel operations and then developed a construction and installation cost estimate based on the best option. The final (100%) PE sealed drawings along with the construction cost estimates were provided in electronic format.

The Yacht Club has a permit with the Dept. of Natural Resources and is required to renew every few years. At the last renewal, the Yacht Club was asked about the electrical and if it was up to code. With anticipation of the next renewal approaching, the Yacht Club tasked Art Anderson to perform an inspection and analysis of the Port Orchard Yacht Club electrical system and to recommend upgrades to bring the system in line with all applicable codes and requirements. This allows the club to solicit their members for approval to move forward with repairs. The cost will require the club to obtain loans to complete the repairs.
Work included:

A site visit for detailed inspection of the existing electrical system to include system outages for safe inspection of the components.
A written report with recommendations for upgrading the electrical system to meet current codes.
Rough Order of Magnitude design and construction cost estimates for major portions of the recommended work.
Two submittals, including a draft report for review and comment by the Yacht Club and a final report incorporating comments.
As-built drawings of current conditions including one-line diagrams and plan views showing the major components of the distribution system.

Art Anderson helped the Port of Shelton with an array of marine engineering related projects including support from all engineering disciplines. In support of the Port of Shelton’s practice of doing most of the upgrade and repair work with in-house resources (including boat house owners), we worked with the Port staff to develop a wooden float option for fingers and non-breakwater float systems. This included developing methods for utilizing the boat ramp (and carrying out improvements to the existing boat ramp) in support of the logistics for this practice. Art Anderson completed the projects listed below on schedule and on budget.
Task Order 1: Dock Design – Art Anderson assisted the Port with inspection and assessment of the south dock and a new dock design for the Southern portion of the marina. The dock design has roughly 600 linear feet of pathway, multiple finger piers, and 40 pilings providing utility services to all moored vessels. This tasking involves a thorough evaluation of the existing dock, concept replacement design, and final plans, specifications, and cost estimates for construction.
Task Order 2: Master Plan – Our team assisted with developing a master plan for the future marina layout and with detailed negotiations regarding land transfers to enable expansion of the marina and construction of a new breakwater.
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. The master plan will include a complete financial analysis and capital improvement, repair & maintenance program for the marina cost center.
Task Order 3: New Breakwater Design – Development of a new breakwater involving civil, structural, electrical, mechanical engineering and naval architecture and subcontractors, including geotechnical engineers, environmental engineers and scientists, expert grant writers, and hydrodynamic specialists. 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.

Art Anderson provided full design for a new 1,400-foot long, 8,400-long-ton floating breakwater system as part of the larger Bremerton Marina expansion project. The breakwater design is based on a 3-D dynamic floating body analysis and physical model research and testing which was done in collaboration with Coast & Harbor Engineering Utilities and Oregon State University’s O.H. Hinsdale Wave research Laboratory. A wave/wake study was conducted to optimize harbor protection for the specific site characteristics and its exposure to the unique wave and wake conditions caused by its location immediately adjacent to the Bremerton ferry terminal. Art Anderson also provided full design services for the entire marina expansion project, which added approximately 300 new slips , provided major improvements to adjacent ferry terminal facilities, and developed new access and moorage for the museum ship, former naval destroyer, USS Turner Joy.

The Bremerton Yacht Club reached out to Art Anderson to provide an independent evaluation of their marina. They intend to have a stronger emphasis on upkeep and replacing as needed to get the maximum service life possible out of the existing facilities and wanted an evaluation of their existing facilities. Their previous report was done in 2009 and. recommended a full replacement. The Bremerton Yacht Club wanted to see if full replacement was still the recommendation.
Art Anderson professionals carried out an extensive inspection of the marina, including an evaluation of the supporting utilities to and appurtenances on the float systems. Overall, the condition of the entire marina is good and the maintenance level of care is very high. Lifecycle determinations are made based on a projection of when it will become less cost effective to continue repairing floats and connections than to replace them.
Three alternatives were offered to assist with immediate improvements to the lifecycle of the marina as a whole:

Alternative 1: Re-Position the A Line (North) Walkway Float System – Relative order of magnitude construction cost estimate: $108,000
Alternative 2: Install a New North Breakwater – Relative order of magnitude construction cost estimate: $450,000
Alternative 3: Upgrade the A-String (North) Walkway Float System with wider and/or deeper floats – Relative order of magnitude construction cost estimate: $300,000-700,000

The Yacht Club management elected to pursue alternative three.

Art Anderson completed a concept level design for boating facilities in Silverdale, WA. The Port of Silverdale was looking to add new:

Finger float extension to the outer main mooring float
Longer ramp for handicapped access
Float for nonmotorized watercraft (sailboats, rowing shells and kayaks)
Access ramp from the fixed pier to the new non-motorized watercraft float

Art Anderson also facilitated the implementation of the Port’s electrical upgrade plan, which included about 20 electric pedestals with power upgrade from 30 to 50 amps. We reviewed the overwater facilities and suggested additional upgrades to bring up to code and improve use, maintenance, and lifetime:

Prepare cost estimates for grants and contracting
Assist as required with grant requests, permits and contract management

## Celebrating National Professional Engineers Day: Honoring the Expertise at Art Anderson
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/careers/celebrating-national-professional-engineers-day-at-art-anderson/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-08-05

Every year, National Professional Engineers Day gives us a moment to recognize the licensed engineers whose work shapes our communities, industries, and futures. At Art Anderson, we’re proud to celebrate the Professional Engineers (PEs) who bring innovation, safety, and precision to every project we touch — from ships to shorelines to civic infrastructure.
Why Professional Engineers (PEs) Licensure Matters
Professional Engineers are more than technical experts — they are licensed professionals who uphold the highest standards of safety, ethics, and public welfare. Their work ensures that the systems we rely on every day — from ships to buildings to infrastructure — are designed and executed with precision and accountability.

Public Safety: PEs are legally and ethically responsible for the safety of their designs.
Professional Recognition: The PE title is a mark of trust, expertise, and leadership.
Career Advancement: Many senior roles, especially in government or consulting, require or prefer PE licensure.

Celebrating Our Professional Engineers (PEs)
This year, we’re highlighting the dedicated professionals who exemplify engineering excellence across our disciplines:
Naval Architecture

Ben Anderson, PE
Abu Bakar Siddke, PE
Kelly Sonerholm, PE
Stan Kulsa, PE
Alex Dzinbal, PE
Ian Lawson, PE

Civil Engineer

Brad Ginn, PE
Andrew Thorsen, PE
Patrick Vasicek, PE

Mechanical Engineers

Sean Hoynes, PE – Senior Mechanical Engineer
Marty McKay, PE
Marc Derenburger, PE
Ethan Ojala, PE
Doug Koenen, PE

Electrical Engineers

Michael Loboda, PE

And a special shout out to our Engineers in Training (EITs)

Madison Asaro, EIT (mechanical)
Elle Bennett, EIT (civil)
Oscar Quintero Frias, EIT (electrical)

The Path to Licensure
Becoming a licensed Professional Engineer is more than a credential — it’s a testament to dedication, experience, and integrity. The process begins with an accredited engineering degree, followed by passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam to earn the title of Engineer-in-Training (EIT). After several years of supervised, hands-on experience, candidates take the rigorous Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam in their specialty. Once licensed, PEs are required to stay current with continuing education, reinforcing their commitment to lifelong learning, evolving technologies, and public welfare. At its core, licensure is about trust — giving clients, communities, and the public confidence in the systems and structures engineers design.
At Art Anderson, we’re proud to support our engineers on every step of that journey — from interns and EITs to licensed professionals. Their work makes a lasting impact on our clients, our communities, and our company.
Join us in celebrating #LicensedPEday and thanking the engineers who make our world work better.

Art Anderson conducted an air incline assessment (suspending a boat with cranes to both determine the weight and take measurements to determine various center of gravities) on a 40ft boat. The boat had a unique large sail area that was a factor in determining the stability. After all measurements were taken, our team processed the data and evaluated the criteria of the boat. It was challenging to capture the free surfaces movement in a realistic manner. Art Anderson optimized the calculations and was able to verify that the boat would pass the registration process. Once the final report was completed, the client submitted the stamped stability calculations to the US Coast Guard for registration. The boat was approved and registered.

## Art Anderson Sponsors WestSound Girls on the Run 5K
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/art-anderson-celebrates-westsound-girls-on-the-run-5k/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-05-22

Art Anderson has been a proud sponsor of Girls on the Run of WestSound since 2019. That’s 5 years of supporting the mission: to inspire girls in 3rd through 8th grade to recognize their inner strength and develop positive self-esteem through a combination of running and social-emotional learning. The program is much more than just running. Girls on the Run uses a 10-week curriculum that incorporates discussions, activities, and running games to teach essential life skills. These skills include:

Building healthy relationships
Setting goals
Communicating effectively
Managing emotions

The program culminates in a celebratory 5k event where the girls can showcase their newfound confidence and accomplishment.
“[WestSound Girls on the Run] theme for the 2024 5K was Better Together – it is clear that is a fact. The encouragement heard all across the course helped get runners, walkers, rollers across the finish line! Togetherness strengthens & makes us all better! The piece you played in the past year has added to the “togetherness”, and you are an important part of our mission & movement, which is massively appreciated!!!”
 
– Jane Duea, Executive Director of Girls on the Run WestSound
Why Is This Program Important to Us?
Research suggests that girls’ confidence levels can drop significantly as early as age 8 and can fall by 30% between the ages of 8 and 14. This drop can be particularly steep starting at age 12. A 2023 survey showed the percentage of girls who described themselves as confident was lower at every grade level up until 12th grade compared to a 2017 survey. The lowest percentage was in 9th grade, when only half of girls said they were confident. A VERY similar situation happens in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) world. Young girls gain interest in STEM subjects at age 11 and then lose it again by age 15. This is referred to as the STEM Gap.
One of the top reasons this occurs is a lack of interaction with mentors and role models. If a girl can’t see herself represented in a career, then she is unlikely to pursue it. We want and need more women in the engineering field. A more diverse workplace is a better place to work and produces a better product for the client. Currently only 16.5% of the AE (Architect and Engineering) field is made up of women. Programs like Girls on the Run support the mission to inspire young girls and support the confidence needed to pursue avenues that might be perceived as difficult.
“Thank you Art Anderson team!!!! YOU made a huge impact with your generosity in the past year, creating possibilities that inspire joy, health & confidence! We truly could not serve the incredible youth in our community without you!”

## Project Highlight: Deer Creek Barge Stability & Mooring
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/projects/deer-creek-barge-stability-mooring/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-05-06

Art Anderson partnered with Granite Construction to provide critical engineering support for the large-scale repair and maintenance operations on the dam site at Deer Creek Dam and Reservoir on Provo River, Utah. This project had us performing multiple barge stability analyses, mooring assessments, turbidity curtain mooring, and various other engineering services to ensure safe operational loading and adequate mooring. Deer Creek is home to an earthen dam that’s undergoing significant component replacements. Built over 80 years ago, Deer Creek Dam and Reservoir delivers water to 1.5 million Utah residents.
The barge stability analysis scenario we developed was used to evaluate supporting dive and dredging operations. The stability analysis included the proper loading of equipment onto the barge.
Both our Naval Architecture team and Civil team worked closely together to tackle the project’s unique challenges, including the complex mooring scheme that involved both waterborne and shore-based anchors and all sorts of lifting analysis.
The scope of this project included a stability analysis of a crane barge with a 110-ton crane on board that sets the anchors and turbidity curtains, and included the installation and removal of a  192-inch bulkhead. We followed this work up with three barge stability analysis that contained 300 Ton crawler crane barge stability, excavator barge stability, and 200 Ton crane barge stability. For mooring and anchoring, two mooring analyses were performed – one at the dam and one at the sailboat beach. For each location, the worst condition mooring was considered. In addition, Art Anderson provided walk-on stability analysis, dive & material barge stability analysis, crane & excavator tie-down analysis, and ramp design when the barges are loaded at the sailboat beach location.

## What I Wish I Knew As A Young Engineer
URL: https://artanderson.com/news/what-i-wish-i-knew-as-a-young-engineer-lessons-learned/
Type: post
Modified: 2025-04-10

So often we say, “If I had known then what I know now…”. Time and time again many engineers, as well as other career fields, think back on the beginning of their careers and wonder “If I had known this when first starting out after graduating, how different things would be now.” We asked our engineers about their lessons learned since graduating college. They had a lot of good points that could help a new architect/engineer just starting their career.
What Do You Wish You Knew as a Young Engineer?
We asked our engineers the following question: “what do you wish you knew as a young engineer?” Our engineers thought back to their time in school and reflected on lessons learned. These are a few of their answers:

Document everything, especially the small details, you never know when it will come in handy.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even if you think it’s dumb, it’s better to know the answer and do the work correctly than to guess and get it wrong.
Take advantage of others’ knowledge when they are willing to share, they are under no obligation to educate you now that you’re out of school, and sometimes old tricks and knowledge can be more helpful than the new way.
You’re always still learning, and you will never know everything, take each project as a learning opportunity whether it’s how to deal with a client/partner or how to approach solving a problem.
Do not neglect English and communication skills, it doesn’t matter how smart you are, and how much you know, if you can’t communicate it to others it won’t matter.

Paving the Way Forward
Hopefully these words of wisdom help no matter where you are in your career. If you are a future or current college student our team provides mentorship to junior engineers and interns helping them to succeed. We share our lessons learned.
If you knew then what you know now, would you have done things a little different? What lessons do you have to pass on?

The project involved the design of approximately 1,700 linear feet of Phase III and Phase IV Sewer Utility Force Main Repairs at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. This is a Design-Build project working directly with the contractor, Port Madison Enterprises Construction. Art Anderson was responsible for construction management for Phase III and Design-Build support for Phase IV.
During Phase III, we confirmed the route of the utility piping when all the existing conditions were discovered. This phase consisted of an 18” force main running from Lift Station #2 near the southwest corner of Building 467 to a point of connection just east of the Wyckoff Entry Control Point to the Controlled Industrial Area. Approximately 150’ of the Phase III piping south of Building 467 had already been replaced under an earlier contract. Art Anderson was able to utilize and re-use the piping previously installed. During Phase IV, we designed the route which included connecting to valve 33-R-1 on the east end and to the “run” side of the first tee at the east side of Lift Station #1. We were able to use the existing route for the majority of the project. We did need to reroute in few areas. We worked with the geotechnical engineer to confirm the route during the project.
We provided overall design and construction management, ensuring adherence to the project design schedule and successful completion of the project. Construction management responsibilities include review of contractor submittals, responding to requests for information, progress meetings, construction observation and inspections, as-builts and project closeout.

The Navy designed a new waterfront support building that included concrete walls and a new slab. The new building would sit on sheet piles and part of the building was designed to overhang the sheet piles. To be able to pour the slab, design drawings for the formworks for the cantilevered slab were required. Adequate support while the concrete cured was critical to the success of the project and attaching to the sheet piles was not an option. Our in-house team designed a system of steel beams, aluminum strong backs and plywood to create platforms that were supported by previously cured concrete. We developed a sequence and divided the areas into sections to be poured. The final slab would be three feet in thickness.
Deflection was a major concern for this project. As the slab was the foundation to a building, it had to be level. The beams and formworks had to account for deflection from the weight of the concrete. Our team chose steel beams that were larger than necessary and tried to predict the deflection in order to offset it.
All of the formworks were only needed temporally during construction. We designed the bracing system in such a way that the beam could be reused on other projects. We didn’t drill unnecessary holes or do anything else that would compromise the integrity of the beams.

As the Designer of Record, Art Anderson provided engineering design services and subconsultant coordination to Triton Marine Construction on a design-build contract for drydock upgrades at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, WA. This project consisted of two parts. The first task was to remove approximately 1,100 feet of chains and stanchions around Drydock 1 and replace them with a removable pipe railing system. The second task was to install approximately 1,900 feet of a stainless-steel cable horizontal lifeline at the East and West altars of Drydock 5, to provide safe maintenance access of existing utilities.
