Floating Crane Stars in Seattle’s $350M Coleman Dock Project By Lori Tobias
WSDOT photo
CEG CORRESPONDENT
The largest floating crane in western North America is now on site in Seattle, ready for its role in the rebuild of the Colman Dock facility, Washington State Ferries’ largest ferry terminal. The Pacific Lifter is an American Hoist and Derrick 509 revolver. It sits on a 400 ft. by 106 ft. by 28.5 ft. pedestal, with a capacity of 1,042 tons. It was brought this summer by tug and barge, starting out from the Gulf of Mexico, through Ensenada, Los Angeles and finally to Seattle, said Kustaa Mansfield, part of the marketing and business development team of Pacific Pile Marine. “It was constructed in 1969,” Mansfield said. “At the time it was constructed, it was the largest crane in North America.

WSDOT has embarked on the $350 million project because of dock components that are aging and vulnerable to seismic events.
Ore. House Speaker Spurs Talks on Interstate Bridge PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) Oregon House Speaker Tina Kotek wants to sit down with Washington lawmakers before the end of the year to further discussions about replacing the Interstate Bridge. The Portland Democrat said at a transportation forum that she welcomes a renewed commitment from Washington legislators who appear ready to start talking about replacing the Interstate 5 bridge connecting the two states, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported. The Interstate Bridge has been a sticking point between the neighboring states for
ment in this industry has maintained its ability to do good work because the physics are the same. It’s essentially a floating crane. It’s not a fixed position, but sits on a pedestal and the revolver structure is connected to the pedestal. It allows you to have full rotational capability while you’re on the boat. You can pick a load, turn the crane body and the load moves with you. There isn’t anyone who has an equal machine in this area.” The crane sits on a barge that is about 30 ft. high, with the total height of the barge and crane combined about 350 ft. off the water. While at the Pacific Pile Marine facility on the Duwamish waterway, passers-by often phoned the company to ask about the piece of heavy equipment. “It’s difficult to really appreciate the magnitude unless you are up see DOCK page 6

In 2013, Washington declined to pay for its share of the controversial Columbia River Crossing Project, but lawmakers there recently supported a study to investigate what pieces of the failed project were still salvageable. Kotek is the latest Oregon lawmaker to say she’s ready to work with Washington again on the proposal.

APWA Names Idaho, Wash. Public Works Projects Nation’s Best The American Public Works Association (APWA) has announced the winners of its 2018 Public Works Projects of the Year competition. The awards program promotes excellence in the management and administration of public works projects, recognizing the alliance among the managing agency, the contractor, the consultant, and their cooperative achievements. This year’s award winners were recognized during APWA’s Public Works Expo on Aug. 27 in Kansas City, Mo. Within the environment category, two water projects were deemed best-in-class: • More than $75 million: Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion (Pierce County Planning and Public Works) • $5 million, but less than $25 million: Dixie Drain Phosphorus Removal Facility (City of Boise Public Works Department) Treating 130 million gallons of water daily (MGD), the $21 million Dixie Drain Phosphorus Removal Facility is the first of its kind in the United States and considered a model facility in watershed-based approaches to meeting total maximum daily load limits. Located 34 mi. downstream from Boise’s primary water renewal facilities, the facility collects ground and surface water from agricultural operations in the lower Boise River watershed, removing 140 lbs. of phosphorus per day (10 tons annually). The facility yields significant environmental benefits as it collects 50 percent more phosphorus downstream from the Boise River. For every pound not removed at an upstream water renewal facility, 1.5 lbs. are
removed downstream. The result is a better quality of water flowing through the Boise and Snake rivers. Conceptualized and designed by Brown and Caldwell and J-U-B Engineers (the former led jar/pilot testing), the facility is no stranger to the engineering excellence spotlight. The APWA award marks a continuation of the facility’s recognition by industry peers having received a 2017 Grand Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies. Supporting Pierce County’s future growth and economic development, the $342 million Chambers Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion Project increased capacity at the plant from 28.7 MGD to 45 MGD. Brown and Caldwell led a team including Kennedy/Jenks to design and manage construction of the upgrades, including the installation of an innovative sidestream treatment process. Pierce County was one of the first utilities in North America to pilot the method. De-ammonification, or DEMON for short, uses a naturally-occurring bacteria (anammox) to strip nitrogen from wastewater, reducing chemical use by 50 percent and oxygen (energy) demands by 25 percent. The upgrades will save the county $7 million in life-cycle costs, in addition to the $30 million saved by efficiently repurposing existing structures rather than constructing new facilities. Further upgrades include increased biogas utilization capacity to generate heat for the treatment process and occupied spaces. The addition of a reclaimed water production and distribution system provides Class A reclaimed water
for in-plant use, therefore reducing effluent discharges to Puget Sound. The upgraded plant will serve a population projected to double to 361,000 by 2040. “These exemplary projects set a precedent for innovation in water quality treatment approaches,” said Brown and Caldwell CEO Rich D’Amato. “We applaud the City of Boise and Pierce County for their commitment to improving public health in a sustainable, environmentally-friendly way. Brown and Caldwell is proud to have played a role in enhancing the health of these communities now, and well into the future.” For more information, visit brownandcaldwell.com.

Funds also can be used to develop a coordinated land use and transportation plan, which the city of Monroe will be doing to help guide development in its Riverside District. Grants to Clackamas County and Coos County will support development of public transit plans. Planning is critical to the success of a community’s economic and environmental health, yet there are few sources of transportation and land use planning funds for local governments. With more than 1,100 projects completed in more than 25 years, Oregon’s Transportation and Growth Management Program continues to provide value by helping communities craft their future transportation systems in concert with their desired land uses. In addition to planning grants, the program offers local governments other resources, including education and outreach workshops, speakers and publications; code assistance; quick response; and transportation system plan assessments.

Seattle’s Coleman Dock Undergoes $350M in Upgrades WSDOT photo

Crews cover the bottom of the sea floor with stable layers of gravel and rock to cap off any contaminated sediment below the dock. Sediment capping improves water quality for fish and other marine life.
In late April 2018, crews poured the last three pile caps for the new passenger-only ferry facility. The pile caps were installed by pouring concrete through a portable hopper that was positioned over the form using a crane. The pile caps are then covered with plastic to cure in place.

close,” Mansfield said. “People can see the boom from I-5. As you get closer and closer, it just seems to get bigger and bigger. We had to delay the load certification a few times, because we didn’t have enough weight. It literally picked up another barge with stuff on it in order to achieve a sufficient enough weight so the inspectors felt confident we were really putting it through its paces. The crane picked it up, put it down, did a rotation on the water. It really is one of those things the scale is relative. Because it is intended to do those things and because it does it so easily. When you get up close you realize is something special.” The barges are on site not only for the Pacific Lifter and other heavy equipment, but as part of the plan to keep the WSF terminal and dock fully operational during the five years of scheduled construction. “We made a decision early on to do the construction while we are completely operational,” said Broch Bender, spokesperson of the Washington State Department of Transportation. “We run a full sailing schedule
with no cuts to service during construction. One of the ways we can do that is by physically removing the construction staging zone to the barges. One of the uses up until now on another barge is to set and drive steel piles into place that form the base. We also use these barges and cranes to drive the steel piles necessary to support the new trestles. This particular crane will be used exclusively to lift and place huge concrete panels. To build out the first section of new terminal building, as well as passenger only facility and the new pedestrian bridge.” In 2017, more than nine million people, including five million foot passengers, traveled through the Seattle Multimodal Terminal at Colman Dock. WSDOT has embarked on the $350 million project because of dock components that are aging and vulnerable to seismic events, Bender said. “The layout of today’s facility also creates safety concerns and operational inefficiencies due to conflicts between vehicles, bicycles and pedestrian traffic.” WSDOT lists key project elements to include: • Replacing the existing timber trestle portion of the dock with a

The Pacific Lifter arrived at Colman Dock on Aug. 2. It is the largest floating crane on the West Coast of North America. Colman Dock Project crews will use the 1,000-ton capacity crane during ongoing construction of the southern portion of the dock. The boom reaches more than 300 ft. off the water with more than 3 mi. of 1 1/2-in. diameter wire used to operate the boom and lift this massive crane.

Colman Dock with funding from King County; • constructing a new elevated walkway between the terminal building and the passenger-only ferry facility; • replacing the overhead loading facility on the northernmost slip; • adding a bicycle entry and holding area north of Marion Street; • maintaining an elevated connection between the terminal building and the Marion Street Bridge; • providing stairs and elevators to connect the facility to Alaskan Way; and • mitigating for additional overwater coverage.* *While avoidance and minimization of new overwater coverage was a key goal of the project, the new facility will increase the overwater footprint by approximately 5,200 sq. ft. Mitigation for this increase in overwater coverage will be achieved by removing overwater coverage from a neighboring pier owned by WSDOT. The future advantages of the project are:
• Ensure that the Colman Dock facility can continue to provide safe and reliable ferry service between Seattle and communities in Kitsap County and the Olympic Peninsula; • improve safety by meeting current seismic standards; • reduce conflicts between vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians and improve operational efficiencies; • improve pedestrian circulation and accessibility; • remove 7,400 tons of creosote-treated timber piles from Elliott Bay; • open up an area of shoreline and nearshore habitat; • provide stormwater treatment for all new and replaced areas of the trestle; and • provide opportunities for remediation of contaminated sediments. The project is scheduled for completion in 2023. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

LA GRANDE, Ore. (AP) Construction has begun on the new Oregon State Police crime lab in Pendleton. The Observer reports Fortis Constriction Inc. has started work on the foundation of the nearly $1.25 million project. The city issued a building permit for the 9,500-sq.-ft. (880-sq-m) facility in August. The state Forensic Services Division operates labs in Bend, Central Point, Pendleton, Portland and Springfield. State Police started planning for a new facility in Pendleton in 2014, but the project faced pushback in the state Legislature over budget concerns. State Sen. Bill Hansell said State Police did not want to lose a lab in Pendleton, and area lawmakers and prosecutors fought for the lab to stay in the city. For more information, visit lagrandeobserver.com/.

That action drew Oregon Senate President Peter Courtney to say the two states “need to put the history on this project behind us and begin working together toward the future once again.” Gov. Kate Brown told The Oregonian/OregonLive this month she was “encouraged” Washington wanted to start “constructive conversations on this vital piece of transportation infrastructure.” Kotek also wants the I-5 bridge talks to be tied to another touchy big-picture transportation issue: Tolling sections of Interstates 5 and 205. “It’s coming people,” Kotek said. “Tolling is coming to our area, and I think you all know it.” For more information, visit oregonlive.com.
