Port of Everett Celebrates 100th Year With $90M Makeover
Work on the wharf, used by Weyerhaeuser along with an existing shed to offload pulp projects involves upgrading it to 500 lbs. per sq. ft. to a 1,000 lbs. per sq. ft. loading.
By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT
The folks at the Port of Everett, Wash., like to say it’s “small but mighty” and nowhere is the truth to that statement more obvious than in the recently unveiled $90 million Seaport Modernization plan. The first component of the project involves the upgrading of a 700-ft. wharf built in the 1970s by lumber giant Weyerhaeuser. “This is the largest project by value that the port has done,” said Steve Hager, Port of Everett construction project manager. “As we understand it, it is currently the largest marine project on the West Coast.” The Seaport Modernization project comes as the Port celebrates its centennial and prepares for the next generation of aerospace cargo and ships, investing in
infrastructure and making substantial improvements to public access and marina infrastructure. “The Port began planning and seeking state and federal funding for this project to support the new class of airplane parts for the 777X that are much bigger and heavier than the current 777 airplane parts,” said Lisa Lefeber, acting CEO/executive director. “The Port of Everett has grown over the years to establish a niche as the premiere breakbulk port in the region, specializing on highvalue, over dimensional cargoes that don’t fit into a standard container.” Port operations support the fifth largest export value district on the United States’ West Coast and the second largest in Washington state at $30 billion in exports, Lefeber said. “Our operations, primarily from the seaport, but with the

largest growth in our real estate division, supports more than 35,000 jobs in our region.” Work on the wharf, used by Weyerhaeuser along with an existing shed to offload pulp projects involves upgrading it to 500 lbs. per sq. ft. to a 1,000 lbs. per sq. ft. loading. Workers with Advanced American Construction, headquartered in Portland, Ore., also are installing crane rails and beams for two 100-ft. Gantry cranes. “Right now, we have two 50foot Gantry cranes, but with the larger containers we need to go to the 100-foot for the loading,” Hager said. “As far as the work
we’re doing to get to the higher loadings of 1,000 pounds per square foot, we need to install more pilings. We’ve demoed the wharf by stripping everything off to the deck. We cut holes in the deck. We’re currently in the process of installing 343 new piles. With that comes new pile caps.” Crews also are repairing the existing pile caps in cases where there are cracks in the concrete and exposed rebar. The work is taking place underneath the wharf on scaffolding and involves the use of jackhammers to remove the concrete, replacing the existing rebar and grouting the
existing pile caps. “That in itself is quite an effort along with driving piles on top of the wharf,” Hager said. “We’re also bringing in new 12 KV primary power to operate the cranes and future shore power.” The $30 million wharf project also included moving a 36,600-sq.ft. cargo shed, a job that went to Emmert International of Oregon. “We decided that rather than demoing it, we moved it off the wharf and put it adjacent to our rail,” Hager said. “Essentially, it’s just a large shed — a table with 36 independent columns. We picked it see PORT page 4

up and relocated it. We’ve just finalized that building here in the last month. We’re using it now for off-loading dry goods and soybean products from rail cars.” The contract will run through December 2019, with the wharf scheduled to be operational January 2020. “When the South Terminal project is complete, it is expected to add an additional 2,000 direct and indirect jobs to our region,” Lefeber said. “In addition to jobs and the environment, the Port is committed to appropriate public access. The Port and the city have been
investing heavily in a balanced waterfront over the years. “We have worked together in a collaborative fashion to ensure we didn’t build in an inherent conflict between our working waterfront — meaning, we work diligently to ensure that public access is addressed outside our working waterfront. “Which is why the Port has a two percent policy that has contributed and invested millions of dollars throughout the city to enhance waterfront access outside of the working waterfront.

ITD Merges Ideas in Post Falls Design Following a public meeting in November 2018, the Idaho Transportation Department developed a different alternative for the Interstate 90 and Idaho Highway 41 interchange in Post Falls. The new design merges the advantages of the two alternatives that were developed by a special planning team and presented to the public last fall. Called an offset single-point urban interchange (SPUI), it features a SPUI shifted north of the interstate, eliminating the extensive impacts to Seltice Way and other local roads that were considered in the previous alternatives. The highway will still move to the west to better accommodate the ramps, and after passing under the interstate, connects to Seltice Way at Herborn Place. The offset SPUI eliminates the loop ramp at the westbound exit on I-90, a design element that was well-received in the original SPUI design. Construction costs are estimated to be $39 million, compared to the estimated $65 million for the earlier SPUI design and the $31 million for the halfdiamond design.
The new design merges the advantages of the two alternatives that were developed by a special planning team and presented to the public last fall.
“People who spoke with us at the meeting or left a comment provided us with valuable feedback that we tried to integrate in this alternative,” project manager Shannon Stein said. “This design achieves the efficiencies of a SPUI interchange and excellent compatibility for future expansion and at a
lower cost.” Members of the public will get a chance to formally comment on the selected design later this year. The project is scheduled to be constructed in 2023. For more information, visit itdprojects.org/projects/i90idaho-41.
Improving Safety...
Open House Reviews ODOT’s I-5 Harvard Interchange Project ODOT held an open house for the Roseburg community on Feb. 6 to share information about the upcoming I-5: Exit 124 Signal Upgrades and Bellows Street Realignment project. The open house displays, maps, graphics and other information also are available on the project website, www.Roseburg124.com. This project will improve safety and the flow of traffic at the I-5 Harvard interchange (Exit 124) by realigning the southbound ramps and Bellows Street, replacing the traffic signals, adding turn lanes, upgrading the pedestrian system and making other changes. Most construction will take place during the summer months, when school is out of session. For two consecutive weeks this summer, the south end of Bellows Street and both southbound ramps at the Harvard interchange will be closed. Detours will be posted and maps are available on the project website. The project involves some sidewalk repairs. Pedestrians, including those with disabilities, will be provided routes through or around the work zone.

Consider it an effort that will help both fish and people get around. The Washington State Department of Transportation has hired design-build contractor Parsons/Scarsella to remove fish barriers along Coffee Creek and rebuild two ramps at the U.S. 101/SheltonMatlock Road interchange. This project will open access to more than 13 mi. of potential spawning habitat and create a more traditional diamond interchange. “Parsons/Scarsella proposed an innovative design to accomplish this work,” said Brian Whitehouse, Washington State Department of Transportation project engineer. “Their creative approach will reduce the overall construction timeline, reduce traffic effects and add improvements at the U.S. 101/Shelton-Matlock Road interchange.” The contractor proposes to realign Coffee Creek to flow through a new culvert under Shelton-Matlock Road, through approximately 3,000 ft. of replicated natural streambed west of U.S. 101, and into Goldsborough Creek. Work on this project could begin as soon as late spring.

While work is under way, drivers will encounter temporary roadway shifts on Shelton-Matlock Road west of U.S. 101 and ramp closures at the interchange. WSDOT will provide advanced notification of traffic effects. The project is part of a larger WSDOT effort to replace culverts to improve fish passage following a 2013 U.S. District Court ruling requiring the state to significantly increase efforts to remove state-owned culverts that act as a barrier to salmon and steelhead.
