JOINT VENTURES
Through design and engineering innovation, we delivered great results in the Suspension Bridge project. By collaborating with local field specialists, all client objectives for this project were surpassed. This project was our first time dealing with stringent work permits, but our legal advisors helped us smooth out the process.
1999 - 2019
The Hunters Point Naval Shipyard was established in 1869 in southeastern San Francisco as the first dry dock on the Pacific Coast. In 1940, the Navy obtained ownership of the shipyard for shipbuilding, repair and maintenance activities and subsequently to submarine services and testing. The shipyard consists of 936 acres: 493 on land and 443 under water in San Francisco Bay. In 1991 clean up commenced in preparation for civilian re-use. In 1999 Lennar BV Partners was selected to develop the 550 acres of land that had been divided into 6 parcels.
1988-1991
This 600-foot wharf represented an improved 2nd generation flat plate, free standing pile design. Substantially complete, it was left untouched during the Loma Prieta Earthquake, which is similar to our 1st generation Howard Terminal. The project contains a sheet pile bulkhead with one 100-foot crane rail on the structure and the other on a pile supported grade beam in back of bulkhead. Project required various alternatives before a final design was selected.
1990-1996
F.E. Jordan Associates, Inc. was selected to undertake a study of alternative wharf systems and final design for the Carnation Container/Terminal. The scope of work for this project included the evaluation of wharf design alternatives and final design of the 1200- foot Carnation Container Terminal Wharf, a 300-foot extension of the Matson Container Terminal and a 600-foot extension of the Oakland Container Terminal.
1991-1995
F.E. Jordan Associates, Inc. provided engineering services to the Port of Oakland to effect design and other engineering support services in connection with permanent repair to the Matson Terminal Wharf, Berths 32 and 33, in the area of the Seventh Street Complex. Some damage was experienced in piles and their connections during the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. The project provided permanent resistance to seismic effects and facilitated other modifications.
1983-1986
In the selection of a design scheme for the wharf, FEJA conducted an exhaustive analysis of alternative structural systems. Alternates included systems utilizing batter piles, large cylinder piles and specially reinforced vertical prestressed piles. The latter system was chosen based upon the advantages of improved structural performance through increase flexibility, lower costs resulting from the elimination of batter piles and improved constructability due to the simplified configuration.
2001
Based out of the Oakland Office of F.E. Jordan Associates, Inc., the planning team of Summit/Lynch Consulting Engineers, Frederic R. Harris, Inc. and F.E. Jordan Associates, Inc. was retained by the Port of Oakland to perform an operational Analysis and develop an Operating Plan for the new Joint Intermodal Terminal (JIT). The JIT was planned to provide an intermodal terminal in the Port area for Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway Company (BNSF) and to decrease the necessity to transport containers between the Port and the BNSF terminal in Richmond, California, 12 miles away. The completed terminal provides greater rail access for shippers and increased container capacity, accommodating 250,000 containers per year. The new 85-acre facility, operated by BNSF, features 13,300 feet of loading and unloading track that can accommodate 410 – 40 foot containers at any time.
2000-2001
The Port of Oakland has embarked on a Wharf Embankment Strengthening Program (WESP) to retrofit its existing wharf facilities. The program encompasses deepening the existing waterside wharves to an elevation of –55’-0”.
1995-2000
F.E. Jordan Associates, Inc., in joint venture provided total construction management services for this $220,000,000 terminal, to include project management, project controls, inspection, cost estimating, scheduling and claims.
2000-2001
FEJA is responsible for design of utilities, roads, parking, and hydraulics at each site as well as attending meetings, report writing, and schedule/cost estimating.
1994 - 2001
The firm provided project management, cost estimating and scheduling, as well as architectural and engineering services for programming and final design. Construction support for the North Field Cargo Facilities project was also provided by FEJA including the construction management. Another phase of the project included design of a stormwater detention facility and a pumping station to drain it. This phase also included design of another pump station to pump storm water directly into the San Francisco Bay after the "first flush" was in the detention facility.
