As the prime consultant for this important project, we provided overall program management and served as the engineer of record. Our scope of work included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Environmental clearances and permits for 6,800 linear feet of seawall replacement<\/li>\n<li>Full design and construction support services of 3,400 linear feet of seawall replacement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1489\" style=\"width: 329px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1489\" class=\"wp-image-1489 \" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/redbucket.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"468\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Red clamshell bucket removing rip rap at Seattle Aquarium<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Working With Partners<\/h3>\n<p>For this one-of-a-kind waterfront project\u2014which also included design and construction of ecological features, a habitat beach, the new seawall, a restored roadway, and a promenade\u2014we provided extensive coordination with stakeholders, adjacent business owners, historic pier owners, the Colman Dock Ferry Terminal, the Seattle Aquarium, partner agencies, third-party utilities, and regulatory agencies. Coordination on the project during design required hands-on management by each technical discipline lead as well as the right tracking tools. To accomplish this task, we used a tiered meeting approach to closely coordinate all elements of the project and keep it moving forward by maintaining a 6-week look-ahead schedule, issues and action item log, and risk register. This approach actively involved the design team, environmental team, outreach team, right-of-way team, and procurement team, many of which had concurrent and overlapping milestones.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>Meeting A Tight Project Timeline<\/h3>\n<p>To meet the project\u2019s aggressive schedule, we used our self-perform construction resources to inform design decisions, means and methods, construction sequencing and staging, and estimating and risk evaluation. This method provided Seattle with quick access to independent construction expertise and a team focused on providing a full suite of services to ensure that all project elements are closely coordinated and delivered on schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The new seawall\u2014located along the Seattle waterfront, parallel to Alaskan Way and the historic piers near Pike Place Market\u2014will last for more than 75 years and acts as a buffer for these city landmarks in addition to protecting critical city infrastructure from deterioration.<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More<\/h3>\n<div class=\"fl-row fl-row-fixed-width fl-row-bg-none fl-node-5bc79d1c1663c\" data-node=\"5bc79d1c1663c\">\n<div class=\"fl-row-content-wrap\">\n<div class=\"fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-5bc79d1c16738\" data-node=\"5bc79d1c16738\">\n<div class=\"fl-col fl-node-5bc79d1c167e4\" data-node=\"5bc79d1c167e4\">\n<div class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-5bc7a0235550b\" data-node=\"5bc7a0235550b\">\n<div class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\">\n<div class=\"fl-rich-text\">\n<p>For more than 75 years, our experts have designed and delivered the critical infrastructure that connects and protects communities around the world.
