Art Anderson Associates contracted with Winzler & Kelly as the lead design consultant for the overwater portion of this $13-million combined passenger ferry maintenance and terminal facility for the Baylink fleet of passenger ferries. The ferry maintenance and terminal facility project is an adaptive reuse of former US Naval Shipyard Facility, Mare Island. We provided concept and preliminary designs for the POF terminal and maintenance facilities.

The current phase of the project involves development of final designs and specifications for waterfront facilities and the barge and float structures. Art Anderson Associates is developing designs and specifications for the barge structure, potable water, sewage, lube oil, fueling, fire suppression, compressed air, urea, HVAC and electrical systems. Other work includes naval architectural calculations and hydrodynamic analysis of the service barge.

We are also working on structural calculations, connection and transfer span details and structural and mechanical specifications for the terminal portion of the project. The terminal function of the facility requires segregation of passengers from industrial activities, for both safety and Homeland Security requirements. The terminal function also requires ADA accessibility for passenger access, and operational flexibility to alternate slip usage for four slips, from terminal operations to maintenance operations and back again during any given shift. Art Anderson Associates personnel helped develop the required permit drawings and environmental documentation for design and construction, ensuring an environmentally sound facility.
